T.R. Knight and Katherine Heigl are leaving Grey’s Anatomy according to James Pickens Jr., who plays Dr. Richard Webber (the Chief) on the show.
Pickens was quoted as telling Us Weekly “Yes, she is,” when asked if Heigl was leaving the show. “Wherever Katherine goes, I wish her nothing but the best,” he said.
Pickens also said Knight is “going too.”
“He just wanted to pursue other career paths,” he continued.
Heigl, 30, and Knight, 35, have been vocal in expressing their displeasure with the show that made them famous. Both have been regular cast members since the show began in 2005.
ABC has declined to comment at this time.
