Back in March FTVLive told you that Natalie Morales would be leaving “Access Hollywood,” despite the fact that NBC would not confirm the news.

On March 21st, FTVLive wrote “yes she is leaving Access Hollywood and no she is not leaving NBC.”

On Friday, NBC confirmed the news that Morales was indeed out at Access.

Morales sent along this email to her co-workers:

To my dear Access family:

And I do mean family! I have had a wonderful 3 years here with you and will treasure the memories and good times! Thank you for welcoming me with open arms and for always bringing your A-game. I have so much to be grateful for and can’t name all of you… but I do have to especially thank Kit, Scott, Sibley and Liliana for making it always a fun day “at work.” And thanks to our incredible producers, crew, assistants, wardrobe, hair and makeup teams.. I mean truly, I have a long list and hope to thank you each personally. Keep being the little engine that could!

As an Air Force brat who has had to say goodbye one too many times in my life ... I prefer to say see you all later … and by later I mean on the next red carpet or on the lot! I’m just a few studio gates away after all. Please stay in touch!

All my best.

Natalie
