Last night Jessica Simpson finally spoke out following her sister Ashlee's firing from Melrose Place. The pop star tweeted: "CW catching up on MP.who writes this crap? i have had bad scripts to work with,but this? thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press."

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz's part (Violet Foster) was cut from the show, along with co-star Colin Egglesfield's character Auggie Kirkpatrick.

Executive producer Todd Slavkin explained, "We felt that once the murder mystery (involving their characters) was resolved, the tone of the show was going to shift and (Simpson-Wentz's) character would move on."

The two actors were reportedly warned they could be dropped from the program.
