Why is Ellen Pompeo convincing everybody on Grey’s Anatomy that it should end?

In an interview with Insider published recently, the actress said she's "been trying to focus on convincing everybody that [Grey's Anatomy] should end." The famously candid actress continued, "I feel like I'm the super naive one who keeps saying, 'what's the story going to be, what story are we going to tell? And everyone's like, 'Who cares, Ellen? It makes a gazillion dollars.'" After nearly two decades on the hit ABC show, Pompeo has become the eighth highest paid actress on TV according to Forbes. Now the star is looking to forge ahead on a new adventure as co-founder and chief impact officer of Betr Remedies. It's not that far of a stretch from her iconic character's desires to help others. The company contributes to health equity by making over-the-counter medicine. "Life-saving medication is too expensive for too many people," Pompeo states on the company website. "We should all be looking for ways to do better." It is not the first time the actor has expressed her reasons for wanting to end the show.
