\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nIt turns out there was a whole lot more to the story of Katherine Heigl<\/strong>\u2019s exit from Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As fans know, the 42-year-old actress played Dr. Izzie Stevens on the beloved medical drama for five years before suddenly departing from the series<\/a> after six seasons in 2010. During that time, rumors were spreading of feuds with other co-stars and show creator Shonda Rhimes<\/strong>, and stories that Heigl was \u201cdifficult to work with\u201d on set ran rampant. It only became worse after Katherine refused to submit her name for an Emmy<\/strong> consideration, claiming she was not \u201cgiven the material to warrant a nomination.\u201d All of this led many viewers to speculate whether the Knocked Up<\/em> leading lady\u2019s behavior was the true reason for her departure.<\/p>\n

Now, more than 10 years later, Heigl has finally revealed the real reason she left the show and cleared up the rumors. In an excerpt from Lynette Rice<\/strong>\u2019s How To Save A Life: The Inside Story Of Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em>, published by Daily Telegraph<\/em> on Friday, she app<\/a>arently admitted that she primarily left the show to focus on being a first-time mother:<\/p>\n

\u201cI started a family, and it changed everything. It changed my desire to work full-time. I went on family leave and just got to be a [mom], and it changed my whole perspective\u2026 that was really the turning point. So before I was due back, I spoke again to Shonda about wanting to leave. Then I waited at home until I was given the formal okay that I was off the show. The rumors that I refused to return were totally untrue.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to Heigl, both she and Rhimes talked about juggling her personal and professional life but found it challenging to schedule around her needs. She reportedly explained:<\/p>\n

\u201c[Shonda] wanted to try to figure out how I could do both [parenting and \u2018Grey\u2019s], and I kind of wanted to do both. There wasn\u2019t a great way to compromise the work schedule that didn\u2019t negatively affect the crew or the cast. It wasn\u2019t feeling fair to them or the show to ask them to bend around my needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Understandable! The Firefly Lane<\/em> star previously spoke to The Washington Post<\/em> about feeling frustrated about having a reputation for being \u201cdifficult\u201d in Hollywood simply for expressing her opinions. She told the publication:<\/p>\n

\u201cI may have said a couple of things you didn\u2019t like, but then that escalated to \u2018she\u2019s ungrateful,\u2019 then that escalated to \u2018she\u2019s difficult\u2019 and that escalated to \u2018she\u2019s unprofessional.\u2019 What is your definition of difficult? Somebody with an opinion that you don\u2019t like? Now, I\u2019m 42, and that s**t pisses me off.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
