According to a source close to the show, both actors are very busy right now. Pooch is working on new Showtime project “Ray Donovan”, while Tia is still filming her Style Network reality show and working on the launch of her new book.

Fans started reacting to the news when DeDe McGuire from the Doug Banks Show sent this tweet Tuesday evening….

Wow!!! For all those that watch “The Game” on BET Tia Mowry just told me she was informed an hour ago that she was FIRED from the show!

It will be interesting to see how the show moves forward from here because their characters, Derwin and Melanie are central to The Game’s plot. It’s a strong show that survived cancellation, but we aren’t sure if it can survive losing two of its biggest stars!

After all that we did to get the show back on the air.  Two of our favorite characters may never return.
