Jessica Simpson, who used to promote Ashlee Simpson's TV series "Melrose Place", has changed her tune drastically after her sister was announced to be cut from the show. On Sunday, November 1, she has, through her Twitter page, blasted the drama series, writing "CW catching up on MP.who writes this crap?i have had bad scripts to work with,but this?thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press."

Meanwhile, in the latest issue of Us Weekly magazine that has been available in newsstands, a set insider claimed Ashlee was fired from "Melrose Place" because she cannot act. "They hired her because they needed a good name to help create buzz. But she was embarrassingly bad. Producers cut her down as much as possible," the insider stated. Moreover, another source told the publication, "She's the worst actress, but nobody will tell her."

As for the Pete Wentz's wife, she has responded wisely on her eviction from the hit CW show. "Having the chance to play Violet on 'Melrose Place' has been a thrill," Ashlee said in a statement. "Although I always knew her story would come to a final, insanely unpredictable end, playing a creepy, unstable character was something I always wanted to do, so I jumped at the chance. Thanks to the CW and the entire cast and crew of 'Melrose Place' for allowing me this opportunity."

In October, EW reported that Ashlee Simpson won't be part of the cast ensemble for "Melrose Place" after its twelfth episode, which is scheduled to be aired in January 2010. Explaining the reason why the show has to kill off her character, Violet Foster, the executive producer for the series Todd Slavkin said, "Well, we always knew that this murder mystery would end in episode 12. And we always knew that [Ashlee's] character of Violet would be instrumental in that as a suspect, and [Colin Egglesfield's character of] Augie [Kirkpatrick] as well. And once that murder mystery was solved, she would go on her way. That was the original plan going into the development of the show."
