Holly Robinson Peete Fired From Show, Releases Statement
47-year-old Holly Robinson Peete, has not been asked to return for a second season of CBS’ “The Talk.” Rumor has it that moderator Julie Chen, was responsible for Peete being fired, as Chen’s husband is the network president.

At one point, Chen allegedly said to her co-hosts, ‘My husband [CBS president] Les Moonves can fire your a** any day,’ leaving executives ‘essentially neutered.’
Meanwhile, Peete released a statement on her website:
After weeks in limbo, I was finally “officially” given word from CBS today that I have not been picked up for the 2nd season of The TALK. I realize there have been several reports and “leaks” for sometime to this effect but until today I was not contractually released which prevented me from moving on and finding other work.
While I am relieved to have this closure, it doesn’t diminish my disappointment one bit about not continuing with a show I worked very hard to launch and love dearly.
But I’ve been around long enough to know that while you cannot control certain situations you CAN control how you respond to them.

I think that her leaving will be a huge loss to the show. I love her work and the fact that she does not stand for mess! She is a woman of class and great character. I wish her all the best. When one door closes, God always opens another! Go Holly!
i can”t believe that she and Leah were taken off the show. They made the show so much fun and exciting and I will no longer be watching the show. You all talked about being one big family and if that were true why did you do this to two of your most special ladies. Holly was so real and she could relate to the ordinary woman , while I feel Julie is so far out of touch with the real world.
