And although many are saying Mowry Hardrict’s departure was due to a breakdown in salary negotiations, a rep for the 33-year-old actress stated in an email to ABC News Radio: “It was a mutual decision and not based on salary negotiations.”

“[She’s] just focusing on all of her new and up-and-coming project,” the rep added.

In fact, Mowry Hardrict has a lot on her plate right now. Her new pregnancy guide, Oh, Baby!: Pregnancy Tales and Advice from One Hot Mama to Another, just hit bookshelves on Monday. Also, her Style TV reality show with twin sister Tamera Mowry Housley, Tia & Tamera, premieres its second season on June 11.  In 2011, the show became Style TV’s most-watched series premiere ever. Not to mention, Mowry Hardrict is starring in ABC Family’s upcoming musical The Mistle-Tones alongside Tori Spelling.

Sources say co-star Pooch Hall, who plays her husband Derwin on The Game, won’t return for season six as well.
