Sara Ramirez hints at axe from And Just Like That over pro-Palestine stance
And Just Like That star Sara Ramirez has suggested that they have been axed from the show over their pro-Palestine stance.
The Sex And The City spin-off star plays Che Diaz in the show and shared a series of posts on their Instagram page on Tuesday which suggested they will not be returning for the third season. The former Grey's Anatomy actor wrote: "Our industry is so duplicitous. While they give awards away, casting directors and agents are making blacklists of actors and workers who post anything in support of Palestinians in Gaza to ensure they will not work again.
"While they lift up some of their own clients who have spoken up against this genocide, they are firing and letting others who have smaller platforms go. While they award 'lgbtq orgs', they are silent on those orgs ties to weapons manufacturers who are currently supporting the Israel military as it commits genocide on Palestinian lives that include LGBTQIA2S+ lives."

They went on to stress how it is a dark time to be celebrating awards when thousands of people are currently dying in Gaza.

Sara was previously seen protesting on the streets of Brooklyn waving a transgender flag at a Palestinian event. They continued: "It's wild how performative so many in Hollywood are. Even more performative than the last character I played."
The use of the past tense to refer to Che seems to suggest that their time in that role has passed. The character is a comedian who was introduced to the show to have a love affair with Miranda Hobbes. The move left fans of the show divided with many unhappy about the end of Miranda's marriage to Steve Brady as a result of the affair.

Che is seen complaining about the way Netflix producers wanted to portray them saying they have been reduced to "just some phoney, sanitized, performative, cheesy, dad joke bulls**t version of what the non-binary experience is."
Sara also thanked their friends for standing by them in a separate post suggesting they have been having a hard time. They wrote: "I am so grateful for the people in my life who have helped me, and are still supporting me, in healing and getting free. Thank you for helping me peel back the layers of conditioning, socialization and trauma.
"Thank you for helping me take responsibility for my own humanity as I continue to lean into the discomfort of growth and change. Thank you for not exploiting me and discarding me. Thank you for calling me in and holding me close while I forge a path of empowerment and authenticity. Thank you for reminding me my softness is one of my many superpowers. This is about being human and showing up with courage and curiosity no matter how bumpy the road there gets."
