"Though it’s coming to an unexpected end, this journey has been nothing short of extraordinary," the actress shared with fans on Instagram.
"I have learned sooo many valuable lessons, gone through acting Olympics and come out stronger, and most importantly, met & made so many amazing friends."
She added: "I ask that you extend to me the same grace, space, and understanding you’d want in any transitional time, and realize that while it is sad, some things are really only meant for a season and that’s okay. And that I am a human and we are all growing."

Rumors of Jesse's exit come after he became a married man in June 2020, tying the knot with long-term girlfriend Kali Woodruff.
"Despite a spike in COVID, a venue change, a Saharan dust plume, not to mention a torrential thunderstorm, we made it across the line on our wedding day, and I'm a very lucky man," Jesse told the Daily Telegraph.
"What a silver lining to 2020. She's smart, pretty and way ahead of her years. We're very happy. "She is my port in every storm, and we're already excited to be moving on to the next phase of our lives."
