Jennifer Lopez has dropped out of the new movie adaptation of ’80s TV show Dallas. No reason has been provided for the actress’ exit.

“She is out of ‘Dallas,’” said Lopez’s publicist, Leslie Sloane-Zelnick, on Thursday.

Lopez was set to play the role of scandalous alcoholic Sue Ellen Ewing. She would’ve starred opposite John Travolta, who has taken on the role of oil tycoon J.R. Ewing. No replacement has been named as of yet.

The film also lost its original director, Robert Luketic, earlier this year. He blamed his departure on “creative differences.”

Aside from Travolta, both Luke Wilson and Shirley MacLaine are still on-board with the project.
