Hazel-E Fired From 'Love And Hip Hop: Hollywood'

(TMZ) -- "Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood" is done with Hazel-E -- she's been dropped from the hit show, but producers claim it's NOT because she said all gays should burn in hell.

A spokesperson for VH1 and the show's producers say they collectively decided not to pick up Hazel's option for the next season of 'LHHH' -- but say that decision was made on Oct. 4. That's a full two weeks before Hazel and her boyfriend went on a heinously homophobic social media rant.

Sources connected to production tell TMZ Hazel had already worn out her welcome by the time she made the remark about gays and the Bible. TMZ was told she pissed off producers back in September, during the reunion show taping, which is why they pulled the plug.

As TMZ reported, 'LHH' creator Mona Scott-Young was infuriated by Hazel's rant, and made sure VH1 knew it ... perhaps to squash any possibility of bringing her back.
