Yeah I just read some excerpts posted from her book and it’s looking like it’s 10% wanting new roles and opportunities, 10% just trying to have a conversation about said reduction in hours for the 6th of 7th season, and 80% Rick Berman being a misogynist and a pushy boss. Which, he can probably take up another 10% because he’s the reason she wanted reduced hours on that show and he was the one making it difficult to get a conversation started on it, kept pushing her to sign and said she was playing hardball with negotiations that had yet to happen.
She wanted to drop down to a recurring character instead of a main character, I think for family reasons. A recurring charector would be in fewer episodes, but still be part of the show.
I thought it was a Me Too situation where she wanted better treatment and this was the result. If you believe Will Wheaton, RB if a terrible person who made his life hell until he left.
Didn’t that happen because the actress left the show? The way it played out was disappointing though
She left because she was tired of being harassed by Rick Berman.

What’s her book called? I may check it out
It was an excerpt from a different book she gave an interview in it seems. It’s called 50 Year Mission, by Mark A. Altman and Edward Gross.

He killed her off instead.

It’s very likely both
