  2. I don’t understand why she was fired for her looks, like they didn’t know what she looked like when they hired her?

  3. They couldn’t have pulled up a picture and decided before casting her? They couldn’t have spared her the embarrassment gracefully by just casting someone else. They instead flew her out, put her in a van to the set, then decided that was the perfect time to be a piece of shit?

  4. She always was somebody that I had thought could pull off a “Michael Scott” -type character, and I love watching her on St. Denis Medical.

  5. Concierge Marie, you look, how you say, radiant tonight.

  6. If these people refuse to name-and-shame, these posts are worthless.

  7. I thinks she’s always been an attractive person but now I want to see who they replaced her with.

  10. Can’t wait until someone figures out the movie and the “money guy.”

  11. So it’s a mediocre comedy that filmed in Michigan in 2008. My guess is “Whip It” Drew Barrymore’s roller derby movie.

  12. SHow business is a tough racket but it might have been nice for them to figure this out before they hired her.

  13. If she got fired for her looks alone, then I hope that person was fired for the complete inability to assess talent. She’s awesome!

  16. Who told Clementine Johnson she isn’t pretty enough? I’d be new boot goofin on their face

  17. I find her very attractive. At the same time, that’s just Hollywood, she should know it’s like that coming into this business

  19. As a “Winnipegger” the use of “Winnepegian” is egregious.
