  1. Correct JJ99. Charlotte Dawson was dumped by Foxtel. It is all over websites from Feb 2014.

    Now Foxtel are singing her praises. TV can be a sad, sorry business.

    1. Unless I am mistaken she was let go from Foxtel network contract, but not from ANTM which was Shine produced. She quit ANTM by telling Jennifer Hawkins via text.
