Now, Kelli has turned to her fans via Instagram and confirmed that she will be leaving the series after season 12.
Kelli Giddish quits Law & Order: SVU
"I wanted to address the chatter I’ve seen online and let everyone know that this will, indeed, be my last season on ‘Law & Order: SVU.’ Playing Rollins has been one of the greatest joys and privileges of my life. I’ve been so fortunate to be a part of the ‘Law & Order’ family for the last 12 years. There is simply no other character on TV like Rollins."
The void left by the actress will be difficult to fill. We are curious if Law & Order: SVU newcomer Molly Burnett (34) will succeed as Detective "Grace Muncy".
