Twilight fans are still in an uproar about the abrupt firing of Rachelle Lefevre, who has played Victoria in the first two installments of the Twilight series.
Not much has been said from the cast, probably from fear they will suffer the same fate. (Honestly, only the Holy Trinity Of Twilight is safe at this point.) However, a few of the cast members talked briefly about their sadness over the events that have transpired. Judging from their remarks, it’s very clear the studio is putting a heavy lean to keep quiet about the whole thing.
Among them was Peter Facinelli, who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen, who admitted that he’d “rather not comment” because of his friendship with Rachelle and his relationship with Summit, but that he was surely “saddened” by the controversy. With mediocre enthusiasm, he explains that he will embrace her replacement Bryce Dallas Howard and he hopes that fans will do the same.
At the same time, he still couldn’t deny his unhappiness with the situation, saying “But again, I’m deeply saddened that Rachelle is not going to be in Eclipse.”
Also among the cast members to speak out was Jackson Rathbone, who plays Jasper Hale. He also said he was unable to discuss the “business side” of the situation, but also admittedly felt upset from losing his friend and co-star.
Adding, “I would love to work with Rachelle again. I’m really sad that I’m not going to get to work with her on the final film of the franchise we started together.”
Our question is will R-Patz, K-Stew, or Tay-Tay come out and say anything in Rachelle’s defense? Or has money blinded them from camaraderie?
Cause you know, we still believe that Rachelle was cut so the three of them could get paid. Just saying.
