why did talia leave the rookie

Talia Bishop, played by Afton Williamson, left the TV series "The Rookie" because Williamson experienced racial discrimination, bullying, and sexual harassment on the show's set. Despite an independent investigation finding no wrongdoing, Williamson publicly shared that she endured inappropriate, racially charged comments and harassment from crew members and executive producers, which led to her decision not to return to the series after the first season. Her character was written out by having Bishop quit the LAPD and join the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) as a special agent, a storyline that was used to explain her exit on the show.
