It’s always lame when someone has to leave a show. It’s even lamer when they’re forced to leave a show, especially if they’re a fan favorite.
Today, we learn why Cote De Pablo left NCIS .

Let’s take a moment to talk about ‘NCIS’.
Specifically, about Cote De Pablo’s character, Ziva David.
Sure, she’s back for a cameo in Season 17. Yes, she made a surprise appearance back in the Season 16 finale. But one question lingers…
Why did she leave in the first place?
What we do know is back in 2013, she left the show.
There were rumors swirling around that she had left because the showrunners were mistreating her character, but De Pablo says those rumors are unfounded.
Instead, she gave a rather mysterious answer when asked why she left.
In an interview with USA Today , she said:
“But I’m not ready to talk about that yet. I will someday. But I didn’t leave because I wanted to go or because I was ready or because I was tired,”
So… I guess we’ll learn what the problem was in a couple of years.
Maybe when the show is canceled.
Nevertheless, she was welcomed back with open arms for her newest cameo appearance. Apparently, everyone cheered when they saw her walk back on to set.
How sweet.
