Ellen Pompeo Is Being Called “Privileged” After Admitting She Hasn’t Left “Grey’s Anatomy” Because She Doesn’t Want Everyone Else To Profit Financially From Her “Hard Work”

Someone else echoed, “Instead of coming off as she stays because she keeps a slew of people employed, it almost comes off selfish, like it’s my show and they aren’t allowed to make money doing it after I leave.”

“Refusing to move on from a show because you don’t want others to continue to make money after you’ve left is a weird af thing to say on a show with maaaaany more people involved than just you,” another person tweeted, while one more pointed out, “Sandra Oh has the most emmy nominations for Grey’s even though she left the show 12 years ago. She carried the show on her back for 10 seasons…It’s disgusting to reduce the hard work of so many people to yourself only.”
