As the star of the show left, the ratings of Grey’s Anatomy plummeted. But amid return talks, Ellen Pompeo’s arrogance can turn out to be the demise of the series.

The 20th anniversary of Grey’s Anatomy is fast approaching, and it is bound to find the series in shambles.

Just a few months ago, the lead actress of the show, Ellen Pompeo, left Grey’s Anatomy, and the consequences are terrifying. The series has never seen such a massive decline in viewers, and it can’t keep going like this.

Considering the anniversary, Pompeo was expected to appear in the show soon anyways since she’s, well, Meredith Grey.

Now, however, it’s a matter of Grey’s Anatomy’s survival. It definitely doesn’t seem like the show can keep going without its lead actress, so the big bosses desperately need her back… And she knows it.

According to the insiders, Ellen Pompeo decided to make the absolute most of the situation in terms of personal gains and humiliating her colleagues.

There’s no secret that the actress has always been notorious for her attitude, but now it’s become far worse. Pompeo uses the show’s falling ratings to entertain her absolute worst traits.

“Ellen thinks the show was suffering because she wasn’t on it. She is demanding a big payday — and she was already making a sickening amount before. <…> Word is she’s looking for $20 million for the next season — and other perks like a personal trainer, a masseur, and special catering,” shared the insiders.

Prior to leaving Grey’s Anatomy, Ellen Pompeo was reportedly making $19M per year in salary and hundreds of thousands of dollars in syndication.

Now, her appetite has grown larger, and the star has pulled out an entire rider to shove it in her former colleagues’ faces. The insiders claim that she’s “developed an even bigger head.”

Other reports have stated that Pompeo’s co-stars were relieved when she left the show — and are feeling extremely uneasy about her return now.

Combined with the methods of negotiation she’s using, Grey’s Anatomy might just be meeting its finale. The ratings without Pompeo are plummeting, which means no money.

But with her demands and attitude, the budget will be hit more, and other actors might leave if she returns, so yet again, no money. It’s almost like the show is doomed at this point.

Things sure are looking grim for Grey’s Anatomy, but we’ll keep our hand on the pulse and tell you if anything changes. Perhaps, there’s yet hope — we’ll see.
