- ‘I know it has been publicized a lot that I left [The Worst Witch] for mental health reasons,” Bella told Elle in an interview while promoting her new HBO series The Last Of Us.
- “I would say the most accurate description is that I had resolved a lot of my mental health issues at that point. And then the idea was that, ‘I’m not going to do this fourth season because it’s not worth it, because now I’m in a better place.’ This is not something you want to continue and have the recurring issues that stem from that first season. I don’t need or want to do this anymore,’ she clarified.
