HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Jessica Simpson is apparently glad that her sister got an eviction notice from Melrose Place.
The 29-year-old star spent Sunday catching up on The CW show, but she was far from impressed.
"Who writes this crap?" Simpson wondered on her Twitter page. "i have had bad scripts to work with, but this? thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press."
Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Colin Egglesfield were both dropped from the struggling show last month. Executive producer Todd Slavkin told Entertainment Weekly that Violet and Auggie, the characters played by Simpson-Wentz and Egglesfield, respectively, were never expected to stick around once the "Who Killed Sydney?" mystery was solved in December.
"We felt that once the murder mystery was resolved, the tone of the show was going to shift into a much more fun, romantic, sexy upbeat kind of show," he explained to EW, while also admitting that their characters could have stuck around had they clicked.
Simpson-Wentz later said that she was thankful for the opportunity to work on the revamped series.
"Having the chance to play Violet on Melrose Place has been a thrill," she 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."
