They just FIRED Brandi!!! WTF???

I don't know all the details, but I just read that Brandi got fired last week just as her maternity leave was about to end. She has apparently brought a lawsuit against TPIR claiming that producers "discriminated against, harassed, and retaliated against" her after she gained weight from being pregnant. TPIR seems to be starting a track record for getting rid of girls coming back from maternity leave (anyone remember Shane Stirling)?? I, for one, will certainly miss seeing Brandi on the show... she was always one of the best!! All I can say right now is WTF???

    There is a law that you can't fire people because of sex, gender, race, and more. So if you just fired Brandi because of pregnancy. You just broke the law.

    @ Jbenjimac - Im sure Drew Carey had nothing to do with Brandi being let go from the show. He is not an Exec. Producer like Bob Barker was. While I will miss Brandi too, I still think that the show is doing great, and Drew is doing a great job, too!

    Octavarium64, you folks kill me. You sound like one of those trolls that are the show no longer plays the "Splendido" music cue. The 70's are long gone. The "game show time forgot" no longer exists, and there's no going back. I've watched the show since I was 9 years old, and I can't be the only one who happily welcomes the face lift, the ensemble feel of the cast, and the cool prizes.

    Ya... I really don't think you can use the word "Permanent" at all anymore when describing any one of the model's career on the show. I don't really know any of the details of the firing, but I am kind of curious about those "little details" because Gwendolyn was able to be VERY pregnant on the show and then return with her job. It can't all be about "weight", can it???

    I just read that on the Wikipedia website this weekend. The report said that Manuela is now a permanent (dare I use that word, lol) model.

    Oh C'mon, "staytal"... Brandi Sherwood has been on the show since 2002. If you don't know who she is, you obviously don't watch the show much... or just don't care about who the models are... And Amber Lancaster is doing a fine job, along with Manuela Arbelaez (who I believe is actually the newest model on the show)!

    I am just A LITTLE curious why Gwendolyn was able to do the show pregnant and come back afterwards, but not Brandi??? It kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it? And did the same thing happen to Shane Stirling? I remember she had just come back from a maternity leave, but was showing some extra pounds... did she get fired for having that EXTRA weight??

    Um, Jbenjimac? Have you actually bothered to look at the lawsuit? Drew had nothing to do with it. And how does it suddenly make the show no longer "family friendly"? That makes absolutely no sense.

    This show is not worth watching without Brandi. Their behavior is disgusting. They lost this fan, my family and my friends. I'm sending emails to everyone I know asking them not to watch the show. I promise to ignore every sponsor I've ever seen on this show. Drew. I expected better from you. What were you thinking?????
