Tiffany Boone Addresses Leaving 'The Chi' After Harassment Allegations: 'Feeling Grateful And Free'

Tiffany Boone quit Showtime’s "The Chi" in November 2018, but she hadn't addressed the decision or her reasoning behind it -- until now.

On Monday, Boone opened up about why she felt compelled to leave the show in a lengthy Instagram post captioned, "Feeling grateful and free."

"The weight of what I was leaving behind felt like a ton, but the weight of my responsibility to speak up was even heavier," she shared. "I felt that if I didn’t speak up, other voices that were trying to be heard would be silenced."

Boone added that "not everyone was interested in creating a work environment that was conducive to each person feeling safe, seen and heard.”

The 33-year-old actress left "The Chi" in November 2018 after alleging that she was harassed by co-star Jason Mitchell.

Subsequently, in May 2019, Mitchell was fired from the series and also was dropped from Netflix's upcoming Western film "Desperados".

Boone admitted that, at the time, she and others were unsure of how the decision would affect her acting career moving forward and recalled crying on her couch in Chicago after realizing what she was being called to do. But she said she had “faith,” and she seems to still have a thriving acting career.

Since working on The Chi, Boone has been cast in some high-profile projects. She will appear on Jordan Peele’s Amazon series "Hunters" and Hulu’s "Little Fires Everywhere," produced by Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon's production companies.
