In a recent appearance on Amanda Hirsch’s “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, released Tuesday, Ferreira said her exit as Kat Hernandez was not the result of behind-the-scenes conflict or the dramatic walk-off rumors that circulated online at the time. Instead, she described a slow, collaborative process of realizing the role had plateaued.
