'Grey's Anatomy's' Ellen Pompeo slams reports her $20 million pay check was the reason her two co-stars were let go

Ellen Pompeo responds to fans who suggested that her $20 million dollar salary for "Grey's Anatomy" is the reason behind co-stars Jessica Capshaw and Sara Drew being let go from the show.

On Thursday morning, "Grey's" fans were shocked to hear the news that long-time fan favorites, Capshaw and Drew, who played Arizona Robbins and April Kepner, would be leaving the show at the end of the season.

Following the news, speculation swirled that the two "Grey's" stars decided to leave the show due to the fact that they were not paid as much as Pompeo, who has played Merideth Grey on the hit ABC series for 13 years.

In response to the rumors, Pompeo lashed out at Deadline, which was first to report the news of Drew and Capshaw's leaving, and said, “This is above my pay grade,” and warned fans to not “fall into that trap” of “pit[ting] women against each other.”
