After rumors hit the net Tia Mowry (as well as her on screen husband Pooch Hall) decided not to return to her lead role on BET’s “The Game,” she’s officially OUT! Tia confirmed the rumor via her Twitter, saying she wants to focus on a few of her upcoming projects instead.
The new mom stated via her Twitter:
“Just wanted to let all my fans know that I will not be returning to The Game for season 6. It was an incredible run and I had lots of fun along the way. I am looking forward to my upcoming projects…the release of my book #OhBaby [today!], season 2 of @TiaTameraShow on @mystyle premiering in June, and my @ABCFamily movie coming out in December…more to come!” love u so much
Tia’s departure comes as a surprise as she never gave any indication that she was contemplating leaving the show.
It sounds like somebody didn’t get their salary minimum. I love The Game and I dont see anyone else playing her role!!!
As for Pooch Hall, he hasn’t confirmed either way. But on May 5th, the actor–who plays Melanie’s loving football star “Derwin Davis,” confirmed that BET was in the midst of working out a new contract. Whether or not that actually went through is yet to be seen.
The season 5 finale goes down June 5th, 10pm ET.
