The show’s producers did not step in the way of her departure, and originally had planned to write her off in the midseason finale.

During an upfront press call today, Fox TV Group chairman Dana Walden was asked to address the controversy. Carefully choosing her words, she said “a variety of factors led to the ending” and that it was “not a decision we wanted to make” but “we were put in a position where we had to make it.”
