Meagan Good Shoots Down Talks Of Joining Single Ladies

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Update-Meagan Good has her own ideas for a long-term role on network TV. Reports surfaced last week naming Meagan as the possible replacement for Stacey Dash’s character Val on Single Ladies. Last month Stacey confirmed she was leaving the show to spend more time with her family in Los Angeles – Single Ladies is filmed in Atlanta. Meagan Good already films The Game in Atlanta and viewers responses were generally positive. Many stated Good would elevate the cast. But Ms. Good herself has denied the offer and essentially scratched herself off the list even if Stacy Littlejohn (the show’s creator) was interested.

She told Global Grind,

“They haven’t contacted me..and if they do I’d only be coming on as recurring, (like I was on The Game)..I’m not ready to be a regular on a show, although I am developing a show myself I might star in.”

Val is essential to the show, there’s no way she could be replaced as a recurring character. So much for that – who’s next on the list to join Single Ladies?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
