She's kind of a loser


Her acting choices have been, to say the least, pitiful.

She lands the lead on Boston Public only to leave the show for........Nip/Tuck.
And on that show her character pops in and out and has a hostile and irritating dispostion (with her saying *a--hole* all the time as if she sounds cool saying it). So she walked away from a lead role to take a smaller role in addition to nothing roles on Heroes, Friday Night Lights and Prison Break. None of these roles have been worth squat.

Finally, her character on Glee is clearly the most unlikeable, the most dead weight of anyone on the show. She doesn't sing, she doesn't really advance the main action of the plot and her only real purpose is to drag Will down.

This string of bad luck must be karma for orginally leaving BP. Serves her right, not all actresses can be in A-material and this is what she gets when she's picky.

By your reasoning, every actor and actress doing/that did tv is a loser. The mere fact she has been on several successful tv shows, can make a good living acting (unlike 99%... or more of actors) means she is not a loser.
The reality is either the writers didn't have any ideas for her or Jess would cost more to keep than the budget allowed and she was let go.
