It’s easy to imagine that stars have a protective shield around them. We think that with great celebrity and fame comes power and protection. That’s not always the case, however, as some of your favorite stars have been given the axe even during the heights of their careers. Many of them probably – albeit, falsely – believe that the power they receive after having a hit on their hands can make them invincible. But at the end of the day, stars are just like us and they can get fired for any reason. If the big boss doesn’t like what’s going on on their sets, anyone can get caught in the crosshairs.
The stars on this list left their shows for other reasons altogether – creative differences, scheduling issues, etc. Because of its nature, however, all of these firings led to media speculation. Check out the most public conflicts these stars had that led to them getting the boot.

Just a few years after Grey’s Anatomy took primetime network television by storm, the medical drama was struck with controversy. After actor Isaiah Washington allegedly used an extremely hateful anti-LGBT term against co-star T.R. Knight, boss Shonda Rhimes fired him from the show.
The show was such a huge hit at the time and the press relentlessly reported on the very public firing. Years later he commented on the debacle that made headlines nationwide back in 2007. “Contrary to popular belief, I’m glad it happened,” Washington told reporters in 2014. “Now I’m a better husband, a better father, better business person, better producer for it.” We certainly wonder if Washington and Rhimes will ever work together again.
