00:00Grey's Anatomy actress Sarah Drew is reflecting on her exit from the ABC medical drama,

00:05calling it mean and unjust. The actress who played Dr. April Kepner was let go from the

00:10ABC medical drama after season 14 in 2018, alongside Jessica Capshaw, who played Dr.

00:16Arizona Robbins. On a recent episode of the Call It What It Is podcast, co-hosted by Capshaw and

00:21Camilla Leddington, Drew said, we were unceremoniously let go in a way that felt mean and unjust.

00:27And because of that, the outpouring of love was so enormous, it was like you were sitting there

00:31watching people eulogize you. However, shortly after her exit, Grey's Anatomy's short-form series

00:36B-Team, which Drew directed, scored an Emmy nomination, which the actress notes helped

00:41her regain confidence and a profound affirmation of her talents. In a previous interview with

00:46Vulture, she did, however, liken her experience celebrating the Emmy nom after exiting the show

00:51to, quote, attending my own funeral. She also previously told THR that the reason for her

00:56firing was because the show had too many characters and that they needed to downsize because they

01:01couldn't service all of the characters effectively. For more on this story, head to THR.com. And be
