Samaire Armstrong Leaves "Dirty Sexy Money"

TV Guide has confirmed today what I had speculated about 4 months ago - Samaire Armstrong who plays ditzy but lovable heiress Juliet Darling on ABC's "Dirty Sexy Money" is leaving the regular cast.

The actress who did not take part in this week's "Dirty Sexy Money" panel at the Paley festival as well as a similar event in late 2007 may only reappear on the show in its upcoming second season on a recurring basis.

Armstrong missed taping of the soap's Thanksgiving episode as she confronted personal problems during her brief stay at a rehab facility. Shortly after that, spoilers revealed her character Juliet was leaving the US with her new boy toy Kai (Alex Nesic) in one of the 3 unaired episodes.

Samaire Armstrong Leaving "Dirty Sexy Money"?

First she missed an episode of "Dirty Sexy Money" (where she plays a ditzy Hiltonesque virgin Juliet Darling), then the sides for episode #113 (not yet filmed) revealed an airport goodbye scene between her character and twin brother Jeremy (Seth Gabel) and now the actress is the only member of the cast not to take part in Monday's "Dirty Sexy Money" SAG panel discussion.


Samaire Armstrong, who once charmed audiences with her portrayal of Anna Stern in the hit FOX series "The O.C." seemed to have hit jackpot earlier this year when she was cast as a series regular on the glitzy ABC sudser "Dirty Sexy Money" as one of the members of the show's core Darling family.

But the actress suddenly checked herself into rehab in mid October missing an entire episode of the series ("The Country House," aired last week). Tabloids speculated about the nature of her treatment and TV Guide was among the first to dismiss rumors about drug use and report about the actress' "serious cutting and eating disorder."



As promised, the actress was back on the set the following week (she appears in tonight's episode "The Watch") starting a romantic storyline - her character Juliet meets a handsome young man named Kai while on sister Karen's honeymoon trip in the Seychelles and persuades him to follow her back to New York (he first appears in the Christmas episode).

In episode #113 titled "The Revolution," an emotional Juliet calls her brother Jeremy from the airport and tells him that "the world is coming apart at the seams" and she and Kai are flying to the Seychelles to try to stop it. She also says they are "restoring justice" and "it's a revolution." Choked up, Juliet then tells Jeremy she loves him and bids him farewell.



The cast of "Dirty Sexy Money" appeared at a panel discussion organized by SAG on Monday night talking about their work on the show which has just been picked up for a full season of 22 episodes. The only member of the regular cast missing was Samaire Armstrong.

Ia this the end of the road for the giddy Juliet?

Samaire Armstrong's Extreme Eating Disorder

TV Guide has revealed that the star of the increasingly addictive "Dirty Sexy Money" (who am I kidding? they had me before the pilot was cast) Samaire Armstrong checked into rehab one week ago for "extreme eating disorders" and "serious cutting."

Early speculations that she may have a drug problem were dismissed by the insiders who claim Samaire Armstrong never used drugs and rarely touched alcohol.

Allegedly, Samaire's eating disorder stems from emotional instability.

27-year old Japan-born actress plays a pill-popping suicide-prone Paris Hilton-esque wannabe thespian "Juliet Darling" on the ABC adult drama.

"Dirty Sexy" Samaire Armstrong Seeks Therapy

US Weekly reported on the weekend that "Dirty Sexy Money" star Samaire Armstrong, who was recently involved in a mini-clash with Maxim's Stuff Magazine over her photo shoot will take a short break from her glossy ABC drama to deal with "personal issues" in a therapeutic setting at an outpatient facility.

Perhaps the actress who was formerly known for her guest starring role in the first season of FOX's now-canceled teen soap "The O.C." was no longer able to cope with people mispronouncing her name (she reproached both Jimmy Kimmell and Carson Daly during her recent appearances on their respective night time talk shows).



The actress recently clashed with Stuff Magazine (a sister magazine to Maxim) after saying in a recent interview she regretted posing for the magazine twice which she did only because of her former manager whom she fired in the meantime. The magazine responded by erasing Samaire from the images.

Samaire entered a private outpatient facility on Thursday, October 11 and is expected to miss only one episode of "Dirty Sexy Money."

VIDEO: Samaire Armstrong of "Dirty Sexy Money" on Jimmy Kimmell Live

Our beloved Anna from "The O.C." who now plays that spoiled brat Juliet Darling on ABC's "Dirty Sexy Money" visited Jimmy Kimmell last week to talk about her international background as well as the Paris Hilton type of a character she portrays on the glitzy sudser. She also teaches Jimmy how to correctly pronounce her name. A new clip from the show (I love it how it amuses the actress) is played at the end of the video.
