Lauren Goodger axed from reality show after showdown with bosses
She was one of the original stars of The Only Way is Essex when it burst onto our screens in 2010. But according to reports today, Lauren Goodger has been axed from the reality TV show after allegedly throwing her weight around.
After a showdown with bosses as the cast and crew filmed in a nightclub on Sunday, Lauren is believed to have been told that she will not be shooting any more scenes for the show this week.
According to the Sun, Lauren, 25, accused producers of treating her badly and said she was the real star of the show and threatened to leave and join MTV so she and her sister could become the British 'Kardashians'. An insider told the paper that the beauty salon owner shouted at bosses and moaned that her scenes kept being pushed back.
They added: 'Bosses were livid as Lauren was already an hour late while the rest of the crew had been there all day filming Arg, Billi and Cara doing the marathon.'
And it seems that she was more than a little worse for wear, as the source said: 'The producer told Lauren she wouldn’t speak to her while she was in that state.'
The source added: 'The cast and crew have had enough of the way Lauren is acting. They have got to the point where they feel that if she wants to quit she should.
Nobody is bigger than the show.
Lauren's apparent departure is the latest slip for TOWIE, which missed out on a nod as the television BAFTA award nominations were announced yesterday.
She also wrote a couple of cryptic Tweets implying that she had fallen out with the bosses and wrote: 'Think about time spread my wings a lot things arising @NicolaGoodger @RiannaGoodger.
Never been so angry in all my life! All I can say is what a shame.
As a consequence of the row, Lauren will apparently not appear in tomorrow night's episode and will not film any more scenes until she has met with bosses to discuss her future.
The source added: 'She can’t scream at producers and turn up late and then say she is the star of the show.'
EDWARDS TRIAL: “CRAZY SLUT” RIELLE WAS HIGH PRICED HU$H MONEY GIRL
Former JOHN EDWARDS’s loyalist ANDREW YOUNG damning testimony during 2nd day of trial as disgraced pol KNEW he was breaking the law.
He said that (Rielle Hunter) was ‘a crazy slut,’ and it was a ‘one-in-three chance’ that it was his child, testified Andrew Young during his second day on the witness stand.
As THE ENQUIRER first reported Young became a key prosecution witness after he struck an immunity deal during the Federal Grand Jury process aka pulling a John Dean to cover his ass.
Young told rapt jurors how he channelled $1.2 million to Hunter in hush money payoffs to keep her underground after The ENQUIRER first revealed the Presidential contender’s affair with the new age temptress/ campaign videographer. We were scared. It was a truckload of money, more money than had ever flowed through our accounts. It was crazy.
And, Young testified, Hunter knew how to live high on the hog with the dirty money.
She had good taste,” said Young, who once claimed paternity of the Hunter-Edwards’ love child as The ENQUIRER battered down the conspiratorial doors. We were using the money to keep her happy.” Federal prosecutors charge the two-time presidential loser with full knowledge that his conspiracy of silence violated more than the law.
As The ENQUIRER has reported previously on numerous occasions -- $933,000 in undeclared president campaign donations from two donors – Listerine heiress and Kennedy clan confidante Rachel Bunny Mellon and late Dallas
Young testified that Bunny would cut checks to her interior designer, Bryan Huffman, who then handed the illicit contributions to Young and his wife Cheri. They endorsed the checks and gave the money to then-pregnant Rielle.
(John) told me he had talked to several campaign-finance experts and that is was legal,” Young testified. “It felt and smelled wrong. But he knew more about the law than we did. We believed him. Young also testified that Edwards didn’t want to know the precise details of the arrangement in case he was named attorney general in a secret deal with Barack Obama, by then the Democratic presidential frontrunner in exchange for dropping out of the 2008 race. Edwards was understandably worried about lying under oath during the Attorney General vetting process, Young said under oath. In a jaw dropping moment, prosecutors played a voicemail left by Edwards for Young saying he was finally going to confess to his cancer-stricken wife Elizabeth about the affair after she caught Rielle calling on John’s cellphone.
’cause I have to,” Edwards voice was heard on the tape. I think I’ve got to tell her about this because it’s moving.
