Here's Why Every Former 'NCIS' Star Left The Show (A Feud, Boredom & More Are Among The Reasons!)

LAUREN HOLLY – JENNY SHEPARD

Lauren Holly played Director Jenny Shepard, who was once Gibbs’ partner and romantic partner. Jenny was killed off during season five from a shoot out in the desert on the outskirts of Las Vegas.

In her own words, Lauren explained that she “got bored” with just being the director on the show.

“To be honest, now that the work bug had bitten me again, I got bored with my part of the ‘Director.’ Then the decision was made to kill me, and boy did they. About five different ways!”
