Mei B Reveals She Was Fired From ‘America’s Got Talent’ Before Making Surprise Return as Judge

In a candid and surprising revelation, entertainment personality Mei B has disclosed that she was previously fired from America’s Got Talent before making her dramatic return as a judge on the show’s current season. The unexpected confession came during a recent interview on a popular daytime talk show, sparking conversations among fans and industry insiders alike.

Mei B, known for her bold personality and unfiltered opinions, first joined America’s Got Talent as a guest judge three years ago. Her charisma and unconventional judging style quickly made her a fan favorite. However, behind the scenes, things were not always smooth.

“I was let go. Straight up fired,” Mei B admitted. “No warnings, no discussion. One day I was in the dressing room, the next day I was told I wouldn’t be needed for the next season.”

While she didn’t reveal the specific reasons behind her firing, Mei hinted at creative differences with the show’s producers and discomfort among some of her co-judges. “Let’s just say not everyone appreciated my honesty,” she said, laughing. “But I’ve always believed that if you’re going to be on a judging panel, you better say what you mean.”

Following her departure, Mei B stayed active in the entertainment industry, making appearances on talk shows, hosting her own podcast, and launching a successful fashion line. Her outspoken nature and loyal fanbase kept her in the public eye, and many speculated that it was only a matter of time before she returned to television.

That speculation turned into reality when she was announced as a surprise returning judge on the latest season of America’s Got Talent. Her re-entry was met with a mix of excitement and shock from fans, especially given her sudden dismissal in the past.

“I got a call out of the blue,” she shared. “They said they wanted something fresh, something real—and I guess they realized that’s exactly what I bring.”

Since her return, Mei B has resumed her role with renewed energy, bringing her signature wit and fierce honesty to the panel. Despite some initial tension, insiders say that the atmosphere behind the scenes is more supportive this time around.

“I’m not here to play safe,” Mei added. “I’m here to represent the people who want the truth—and who love a little drama with their talent.”

As the season progresses, viewers will undoubtedly be watching closely to see how Mei B’s second act unfolds. Whether she stays for good or not, one thing is certain: Mei B is back, unapologetic as ever.
