Although it has been over ten years since Katherine Heigl departure from Grey’s Anatomy, the star has just revealed the real reason she left the show.

Good for her. She’s talked about how hard it was to bond with her first daughter because she was working so much and that was the driving factor. Everyone who has worked with her post Grey’s has always spoken well of her so I’ve always been suspect about that narrative.

Grey’s seems like a toxic set, especially back then, so it wouldn’t surprise me things got exaggerated. And the fact that Shonda was still making digs about her a few years ago when Katherine has always been very diplomatic is nagl. But sure, cape for IW. 🙄

I'd like to preface this by saying I DO NOT agree with Shonda nor do I think she was right but I get why she supported Isaiah. She's a black woman who for sure has experienced how this industry treats black people so I wouldn't expect her to cape for a white woman, really. I think she was shitty but I'd be lying if I said I don't understand where she might've come from.

Those are two different things.

Shonda can condone homophobia as long as they are black? Weird take.

She didn’t have to cape for anyone. She could’ve been more diplomatic about the situation instead of throwing digs while defending someone who literally physically assaulted his coworker and outed another one.
