The "we're not going to have that fight with Julianna in the press" comment always felt loaded to me.

Yes that was probably as far as they could actually go without blaming anyone. It must have been an incredibly frustrating work environment. If that were the case, and I were one of those writers I would be so angry that my best character was being forced out.
I still am frustrated with plenty that the writers have done, but if I see the show as a situation were the control of the creators has been seriously undermined, some of the more galling things that have happened somehow more sense.
I've worked in an environment where someone in power liked to throw their weight around, and had particular dislike for a lower-down colleague, and the situation was terrible for everyone. It makes you feel bad just to be around it. Not saying that was definitely the case here, I know we can't know that.
