Although she was scheduled to attend the ‘New Moon‘ premiere on Monday night in Westwood, California, Rachelle Lefevre did NOT show up!
The actress, who was fired and replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard as bad-vampire Victoria in Eclipse, took to her Twitter to announce the sad news. She said:
“2 fans at the premiere: w/ Honey in hospital & being fired from Eclipse tonight was just 2 emotional 4 me & I couldn’t manage it. So sorry”
Many have speculated that Lefevre was replaced by Howard because of her dad, Hollywood heavyweight, Ron Howard’s influence.
