ABC has denied reports earlier today that the 28-year-old actress had asked for an increase in her compensation and following a denial had walked out of contract negotiations on the show.
In a statement to Grey's Anatomy fans ABC assures them that the actress is NOT leaving the show and that she is indeed being rewarded for all her hard work.
"Katherine is an integral part of Grey's Anatomy and its success. Fortunately, we have a long-term contract to ensure she'll be with the show for several years to come. In recognition of her tremendous talent and value to the show, we recently approached Katherine with an offer to raise her compensation significantly above the terms of her current contract. We were surprised to see this gesture reported negatively in the press, and want to reassure fans that she will continue as Izzie Stevens."
