Rosie Perez is officially leaving The View following reports she might get fired along with co-host Nicole Wallace.
As we previously reported, it’s been rumored ABC executives are trying to revamp the show – again - which would involve firing of some of the panelists. There were also rumors Perez would leave back in January.
On Tuesday, executive producer Bill Wolff sent an email to staff members to inform them of Perez’s decision to leave.
Entertainment Weekly has obtained the email, which reads that she will leave after this season to “pursue full time her love for acting.”
Perez “stepping into the role of talk show host at the same time she has been starring on Broadway has been incredibly impressive," he added.
Wolff went on to call her a “dedicated advocate who has brought passion and insight to the panel every day.”
Last month, Raven-Symone was named an official co-host after appearing as a guest host many times.
