She’s an amazing presenter and person, and she didn’t want to delve into the reasons behind her sudden departure,” the source said.
The station has yet to confirm her departure and has not responded to inquiries on the matter. A colleague mentioned, “She’s dealing with some personal issues and needs time off. There is a lot happening in her life, and this is just one aspect.”
