Grey’s’ cast relieved by Katherine Heigl exit

The cast of Grey’s Anatomy are reportedly happy that Katherine Heigl (31) is leaving the show. Heigl confirmed last month that she has decided to quit the programme to focus on her family.

A source has now told Us Weekly that the cast had clashed with Heigl and had been unhappy about the way she publicly criticised the show.

“Most of the cast and crew were like, Finally! There was such a release. With every movie, she’d get worse and start acting like she was the star,” the insider claimed. “They are such a family and are glad to have this behind them. I doubt there will be a party to send her off.”

Justin Chambers, Grey’s Anatomy star, said earlier this week that Katherine Heigl is much loved by the cast.
