Che la vie. Sara Ramirez has officially departed HBO Max’s “And Just Like That…” after two seasons — and after their character Che Diaz was ruthlessly ridiculed by viewers, Variety confirms.The Post reached out to both Ramirez, 48, and Max for comment.
The exit news comes after speculation that the nonbinary actor was fired after their pro-Palestinian Instagram posts.“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,” Ramirez continued after the 2024 Emmy Awards aired. “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.”“It’s wild how performative so many in Hollywood are.
Even more performative than the last character I played,” they wrote, alluding to Diaz. However, a source close to the production revealed to the Daily Mail that the highly divisive character had always been on the chopping block. “Sara was not fired because they support Palestine and the cease-fire,” the source told the outlet. “Sara was fired because Che brought nothing to the show anymore.
After Che split with Miranda, the character really held no value anymore and fans found them annoying.”Diaz was introduced to viewers in the first season of the “Sex and the City” spinoff as a nonbinary comedian who hosts a podcast with Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon).
