Grant, who has recently played the iconic mommy blogger and influencer Sherry on the Netflix hit "You," once had a role she felt forced to leave (via Insider). Grant, who was Special Agent Sonja Percy on "NCIS: New Orleans," recently opened up about her difficult experience on the show.
According to People, Grant felt she had to exit the show due to racial bias. She was buying her own wigs for the show. Speaking with Tamron Hall, Grant shared that her exit was "about a year and a half in the making." She continued, "I had started documenting some of the physical damage that was going on — it's harder to document the emotional damage."
She said she began to find bald spots on her head. "I started documenting in January 2017 you know what was going on with the wigs. In six months' time, I had already had a bald spot in my head from season 2."
She continued, "When you get a show and it's a multimillion-dollar show, and you see that your treatment in the hair department is totally different from what's going on with your co-workers on a granular level you're like 'Okay like that sucks like I have to pay for my own wigs. I have to come with my hair done. But this is the multimillion-dollar production,' but then to get blamed for production, right?"
Grant says she was treated totally differently than her white counterparts and left the show for her well-being (via US Weekly).
