Sophia Bush's Shocking Exit

Despite being a mainstay of the series for three seasons and a fan favorite, Sophia Bush, who played Erin Lindsay, exited the show amid scandalous allegations of impropriety by co-stars. Without naming names, Lindsay said in an interview with Dax Shepard, "It was a consistent onslaught barrage of abusive behavior. You start to lose your way when someone assaults you in a room full of people, and everyone looks away, looks at the floor, looks at the ceiling, and you're the one woman in the room, and every man who's twice your size doesn't do something". 

NBC launched an investigation following the allegations made by Lindsay, specifically into Chicago PD's lead actor, Jason Beghe, but their findings were inconclusive.
