As Oxygen’s Dance Your Ass Off enters into their next season with new host Mel B, US Weekly reports that Marissa Jaret Winokur was fired from the gig due to her size.
Guess they didn’t want anyone relatable!
“The producers were constantly on her to lose weight. She was asked to wear suits to cover her arms and legs,” claims a source. “She was fired for being fat.”
She’s lost a LOT of weight already!
Keep dancing, bb!
Update: Oxygen and Marissa have just released the following statement.
“These rumors are completely false. It was a mutual agreement between Marissa and Oxygen to part ways. Marissa has chosen to pursue other opportunities that include a return to acting and Oxygen is looking forward to a new season of the series.”
