I miss Sonja!

The actress states that: In October 2021, Shalita appeared on the Tameron Hall show and opened up to the host about how her hair being "physically damaged" led to her decision to leave the series.

"It was about a year and a half in the making," she told the host. "I had started documenting some of the physical damage that was going on — it's harder to document the emotional damage."

The actress explained that she believes the wigs she was required to wear on the show were started to cause damage to her hair. Therefore, Shalita began documenting her hair loss in 2017.

"In six months' time, I had already had a bald spot in my head from Season 2," she stated. She said she started noticing potential balding at the front of her hairline by Season 4. "Everybody on Twitter let me know, 'That looks like a helmet!' By that point, I didn't care anymore because I was protecting myself," she said.

I was really sad to read this. Also, executive producer Brad Kern created a hostile, sexual harassing work environment for others!!! Damn! Where was Scott Bakula to try and put a stop to this shit???
