Chyler Leigh recently opened up about her least favorite Grey’s Anatomy storyline involving her character, Lexie Grey, in a candid interview on the “Call It What It Is” podcast. Leigh revealed that she was mortified by the “break the penis” storyline and had to eat 17 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups to explain why Lexie was gaining weight due to her pregnancy during the show.

Lexie was introduced in season 3 as an intern at Seattle Grace and died tragically in the season 8 finale after a plane crash.

She also expressed appreciation for the lasting impact of Lexie’s story on viewers.
Leigh’s honest revelations about her time on Grey’s Anatomy provide fans with a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges and memorable moments she experienced while portraying Lexie Grey on the long-running medical drama.
