‘And Just Like That’ star believes he was cut from the show for being ‘woke’
NY Post
Bobby Lee thinks wokeness is to blame for his exit from “And Just Like That.”
The comedian, 53, spoke to Entertainment Weekly at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend about why he wasn’t asked to reprise his role as Jackie Nee, Carrie’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) podcast cohost, on the third season of the show.
“Some of the woke elements of the show, they got rid of, and I think I was a part of that,” Lee stated.
“I think Sara [Ramirez] didn’t come back and some other people,” he added. “They tried to put minorities in, and — I don’t know. I never saw the show.”
The Post has reached out to HBO for comment.
Lee departed “AJLT” between Seasons 2 and 3, as did Ramirez, who played Miranda’s (Cynthia Nixon) non-binary love interest Che Díaz, and Karen Pittman, who played Dr. Nya Wallace.
