‘And Just Like That’ Star Sara Ramirez Claims Her Character Che Was Cut Because Of Her Pro-Palestinian Views

Sara Ramirez, who plays Che Diaz on the popular HBO series And Just Like That, has been dropped by executives – but the reason remains mysterious.

Ramirez, a non-binary actor, rose to fame with their role in Grey’s Anatomy. Ramirez posted on their Instagram on Tuesday confirming that they would not be returning to the show.

Ramirez claimed that the dropping of the character was due to their political stances and pro-Palestinian opinions, saying, “casting directors and agents are making black lists of actors and workers who post anything in support of Palestinians and Gaza to ensure they will not work again.”

Fans of the show, however, have been divided on Che for a while, with many seeing the role as “annoying” and “a waste of airtime.”

Last season was notable for the return of Kim Cattrall to the series – if only for one minute – for which she was reportedly paid $1 million.
