She also named Hallmark leading ladies Lacey Chabert, Teri Hatcher and Holly Robinson Peete directly in her claims, alleging that Hallmark Executive Vice President of Programming Lisa Hamilton Daly talked about replacing the actresses due to their age and price to work. . Hallmark has since publicly denied all allegations. Cardi B cancels participation in ONE Musicfest due to medical emergency and hospitalization.
