Fans of Brooklyn Nine-Nine have been through a lot between season five and six of the hit show. First, it was the cancellation of the series. Then, it was the rescue of their show by a different network, and now, another blow is headed their way.

Chelsea Peretti, who plays the sass master, Gina Linetti, has announced her departure from the comedy after a brief stint in season six, with possible quest appearances hinted at in the future.
She tweeted about her exit in a series of tweets:
“B99 fans. Hiiiiiiiiiiii. Chelsea Peretti, here. I won’t be doing a full season of Brooklyn Nine Nine in Season 6. But that doesn’t mean I won’t ever be back, winky face emoji, heart emoji. I want to thank you for the hours you spent watching Gina be Gina,” she wrote.
confident, idiotic-but-smart, pithy, and infused with rhythm and cell-phone radiation. ❤️💯It is hard for me to know exactly what to say. Perhaps Emmy Rossum said it best when she wrote about Shameless (I bolded the extra relevant parts in her quote below):

Chelsea went on to say that Emmy Rossum, who recently announced her exit from Shameless, said it best and tweeted Emmy's farewell letter, complete with highlighted quotes from the original statement.

Series co-creator, Dan Goor, also took to Twitter to share some kind words about Chelsea in what felt like a true goodbye to Gina.
