Again, not sure how true this is.

I'd love to see that, if you have a source to share. Based on this interview

it doesn't seem to me like she really wanted to leave either. I mean, she's got a good solid role here, but she want to leave to explore other acting. But she has no plans on what she wants to do next? It doesn't make sense. The age thing is kinda weak. Yes she was starting to show her age. But they could've found ways to work it if they really wanted to.

It was Crystals decision to leave, she was NOT forced out. MTV approached Jeff about shaking things up. Crystal had NO idea MTV requested that of Jeff. It just so happened that she went to Jeff, independently, with her decision to leave the show.

"Jeff Davis, the show's executive producer, said that MTV approached him before this season with the idea of shaking things up, perhaps with an untimely death. He was reluctant. "As the creator of the show, these characters were like my children," he said.

Shortly after, Reed asked for a meeting and told Davis that she wanted to move on and do other things. So the decision to send her character off in a coffin was set."

MTV also set up a memorial website for fans: teenwolfmemorial.com

Maybe it's the conspiracy theorist in me, but they read as "that's what They want us to hear, so that's what we are going to hear" to me. But it's a moot point. I don't really care either way. I didn't think she had much potential left for progress, except to get back with Scott. And I'm not a Scallison OTP shipper. I'm actually glad she left so she couldn't get back with Scott. I like the realism of first love isn't your last or only love. And I definitely didn't want to lose Derek, because they've been giving out more snippets of his past tht might actually come into play.
