Ashlee Simpson-Wentz Leaving Melrose Place
October 23rd, 2009
Ashlee Simpson-Wentz’s time on Melrose Place has come to an end, with the actress/singer saying she had fun playing the “creepy, unstable” Violet Foster.
Executive producer, Darren Swimmer, explains, “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, and [her] character would move on.”
Simpson-Wentz released her own statement saying:
“Having the chance to play Violet on Melrose Place has been a thrill. 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.”
