Jessica Pearson, portrayed by actress Gina Torres, left the show “Suits” in season 6. There were multiple reasons for her departure, both in terms of the character’s storyline and the actress’s personal decisions.
In terms of the character’s storyline, Jessica left the law firm of Pearson Specter Litt after being disbarred for tampering with evidence in a case. She later moved to Chicago to start her own law firm, which was the premise for a spin-off series called “Pearson.”
As for the actress’s departure, Gina Torres has stated that she left “Suits” to pursue other opportunities and to spend more time with her family. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, she said, “My personal life needed to take priority. My daughter just turned 11, and I’m her mom, and I want to be there for her.” Torres has also expressed interest in reprising her role as Jessica in the future, potentially in the form of a guest appearance or crossover.
