Yeah I just read some excerpts posted from her book and it’s looking like it’s 10% wanting new roles and opportunities, 10% just trying to have a conversation about said reduction in hours for the 6th of 7th season, and 80% Rick Berman being a misogynist and a pushy boss. Which, he can probably take up another 10% because he’s the reason she wanted reduced hours on that show and he was the one making it difficult to get a conversation started on it, kept pushing her to sign and said she was playing hardball with negotiations that had yet to happen.
She wanted to drop down to a recurring character instead of a main character, I think for family reasons. A recurring charector would be in fewer episodes, but still be part of the show.
I thought it was a Me Too situation where she wanted better treatment and this was the result. If you believe Will Wheaton, RB if a terrible person who made his life hell until he left.
Diva is an extremely inaccurate way of putting it.
The role was not what was described. She requested a release of her contract as a consequence. They agreed and Rodenberry used the opportunity to show any character could die in TNG.
