I hope I spelled Stacy's name correctly. She was a host on QVC and sometimes worked with David and even had a cooking show of her own. What happened? If I remember correctly, I think she was let go. Why??? This person is so good. Knows her "stuff", dresses professionally and is a pleasure to watch. Just wondering.

@coffee drinker

IF she was let go, the reason for it remains private. Future employers can legally only provide the dates of her employment from previous employer.

She may have made a choice for her own reasons that remain private. No one ever knows all the things that one person may be dealing with. Another aspect: future goals may have changed or it is just time for a change.

Bottom line: Even were you to learn the reason(s), how does that impact your life ? Isn't your privacy worth something ?

A little while back when QVC was involved with hosts leaving, they did not provide private info. The hosts may have... but the full story will probably never be given. Life is complex, whether it is the life of an individual or that of a corporate entity.

I have zero insight on why Stacy left her host position, her choice or a termination. I have seen her back on air as a food vendor rep, but I don't recall the brand.

@jlkz Give me a break. Finding out why Stacy left did not or will not impact my life. It's just a question. Aren't you ever curious?

I have also seen her back as a food vendor.

Not sure why you can't ask about a person on QVC, on a QVC forum, but ok. Anyway, if I remember correctly, when she was leaving, she had posted something on instagram about it something like it wasn't her choice. I think she was part of that whole reduction in force they did a few years ago when Carolyn was let go. When Gabrielle (I forget her last name) was let go too. I could be wrong.

Yes, she was let go with several others in one of the earlier cost cutting sweeps.

Since she has been back as a vendor representative for quite a while, I'm sure she was not let go because of negative job performance.

Of course, it’s normal to be curious @coffee drinker . If I remember she was one of the hosts let go. I don’t know why. She even struggled with coming back as a vendor.

I hope a more knowledgeable poster jumps in, and either expands or corrects me. But that is my recollection.

I believe she is on many of the ITKWD shows representing various items. I know the California Innovations shopping totes is one but also food items. I think I have watched her more as a vendor than as a host. I thinks she does a great job and is always prepared.

Wow, such old news.

Yes Stacey was laid off with a larger round of QVC layoffs 5 years ago. It was the same layoff that included hosts Antonella Nester, Gabrielle Kerr, and Kristine Zell.

It was not Stacey's decision to leave. In fact her social media made it clear she was surprised and hurt. When she decided to come back as a brand rep, she posted that she had very mixed feelings but was still excited about returning.

I'm glad she came back on her terms as a brand rep. She's one of the best, representing so many brands.

I never really liked her, but she did a good job as a brand ambassador, I must say.

Perhaps she has moved on to "greener pastures."

@coffee drinker

Of course I know that it'd never impact your life, that is why I posed the question.

As a corporate manager, entrepreneur, college adjunct professor on communication and leadership, and finally a career counselor for folks who were part of a reduction in force for several major corporations, I know why some folks are part of the " disappearing " act.

I also know the legality of certain communication by the entity letting employees go.

As for the curiosity aspect: no I am not curious because so many diverse elements can come into play. Also, over time the person let go may not want to burn bridges for many good reasons ( their next career, their networking contacts, their reputation, etc. )

People can ask why was someone let go but to what avail? On this forum it can lead to reopening past negative comments and ultimately getting the thread " poofed ".

@U2girl I was going to say the same as you. I can't understand why anyone would return to the place that let you go. But it seems to happen a lot on the Q.

She is still a favorite of mine. So put together and well spoken!

I totally agree! One of the best prepared representatives on QVC. So happy that she is still on as a spokesperson.

I like Stacey as a vendor rep. She is professional, has a good sense of humor when necessary (not silly) and knows her stuff about the items she presents.
