While she was really given another four years, many people back then questioned why she was quitting the programme. The actress recalled that she was no longer joyful when she knew she couldn’t remain during an interview with Benard for State of Mind.

Then she disclosed that Benard, who portrays Sonny Corinthos on the soap opera, was a factor in her decision to leave. She was unaware that the actor had bipolar disorder and was unaware of the struggles he was through. She therefore took it personally and believed it was her fault when he was upset.

She said to Benard, “I would come to work, and one day you would be the most gorgeous, charming guy, and then another day I was a bit terrified of you.

I wondered, “Does he despise me? Did I act in any way? I wrote you an email in which we briefly discussed the matter. I failed to comprehend it. She said, “I was just a youngster, just a naïve, ignorant kid trying to find her path.

She remembered how, during her final performance, she used to cry and hide in her dressing room. She believed no one was looking out for her. She occasionally felt as though she had no idea who her friends were or whether anybody would support and be there for her.

Benard Explains His Side

When he was working with Willis at the time, the actor acknowledged that he was having trouble. He acknowledged going through some difficult times, and he turned his anger against Tamara Braun. Back then, he was a different person, and he expressed regret for his behaviour.

According to Willis, it would have been much simpler for everyone back then if they could have just communicated like they do now.
