In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter in 2012, CBS said: “Jennifer [Esposito] has informed us that she is only available to work on a very limited part-time schedule. "As a result, she’s unable to perform the demands of her role, and we regretfully had to put her character on a leave of absence. "She is a wonderfully talented actress, and we hope that she will be able to return at some point in the future.”

"After a week off my doc said I could return to work but CBS … (i)mplied that I was NOT truly ill and this was a scheme to get a raise! "It’s been almost two months without (bringing) me back to work + keeping (m)e from working anywhere else! …Absolutely shameful behavior.” DON'T MISS...

She said: “Last week I was told I was on suspension, which meant I am still in contract, not being paid. "It’s completely illegal, but they also knew that I didn’t have the money or the means to sue them." This was far from the actress' only role though as she went on to feature in various other popular series.
