Parole Board Halts Amy Fisher's TV Debut
6 March 2002
The New York Parole Board was responsible for Amy Fisher's withdrawal from Fox TV's new Celebrity Boxing show in which she was to face figure skater Tonya Harding, the Associated Press reported Tuesday. The "Long Island Lolita" has been replaced by Paula Jones, who became a celebrity after she filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Bill Clinton. The AP reported that the parole board had decided Fisher's appearance "would not be conducive to her continued parole supervision and would send an inappropriate message to victims of violent crime." Fox spokesman Joe Earley told the wire service, "Yeah, it was rather disappointing, but fortunately we'd been talking to Paula, so she was already on deck."
