Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Grey’s Anatomy, Gossip,
Although many people assumed (like I still do) that Katherine Heigl chose to leave Grey’s Anatomy for the big screen, the actress says that simply isn’t true.
In the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, Heigl claims that her early exit from the show - she cut her contract 18 months short - was prompted by the arrival of her adopted daughter, Naleigh. “I started a family and it changed everything for me,” Katherine stated. “It changed my desire to work full-time.”

Hey NBC - primetime might actually survive in the post-Jay Leno world after all.
