Melissa McCarthy Dropped From Mike & Molly. CBS Claims She Is "Unfit" For Role
It appears the leading actress of Mike & Molly Melissa McCarthy did not see the suspension of the hit comedy show coming. What she really didn’t see coming is the blindsided suspension of herself from being cast as Molly!
Reports are flooding in from sources saying that McCarthy’s new attained slim figure is not a “qualified” look for the role of Molly.
“The show is about two overweight star-struck lovers who, together, face challenges to lose weight. Not an overweight police officer who falls in love with a slimmer funny teacher” a CBS spokesperson states
Seems a little ballsy of CBS to make such a bold statement and move. But what does Melissa have to say about this? As seen by her appearances on several red carpet showings- the Heat and Identity Thief superstar seems to not be bothered by this, rather she is embracing the change.
She took to social media to tells fans that it’s not CBS’ fault, but rather her fault for not being 100% open with her diet regime. She also makes a rather scowling statement toward the network.
I think she is still overweight enough to play the part.
