'Run the World' actress Andrea Bordeaux says she was fired from the series over COVID-19 vaccine mandate

• Andrea Bordeaux denied reports that she left the Starz TV series "Run the World."
• Bordeaux, 34, claimed she was fired over a COVID-19 vaccine mandate on set.

Andrea Bordeaux shot down reports that she left the Starz series "Run the World," and instead claimed that she was fired over a COVID-19 vaccine mandate required on set.

On Friday, the 34-year-old actress shared a screenshot of a Deadline article by Nellie Andreeva on her Instagram page that reported she exited the show over the mandate. The article reported that Lionsgate Television required cast and crew members working in "Zone A" on their productions to be fully vaccinated.

Bordeaux, who played the character Ella McFair in season one, shared her perspective in a lengthy Instagram post.

"Despite what the article says, I did not opt to leave the series and Lionsgate made no efforts to find a workable solution. I was fired," she wrote in the caption. "My heart is with all of the people around the world who feel that they are losing so much due to their choice to stand in their convictions and to honor their deepest core beliefs."

"What I know for certain is that when you are leading with your heart and honoring the path that Spirit has laid out for you, nothing can be taken away that will not be returned 1000 fold. I surrender to that with profound Peace and Joy and I encourage you to do the same," she wrote.

Representatives for Bordeaux, Starz, and Lionsgate did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Bordeaux also thanked viewers for tuning in to season one and reminisced about playing Ella.

"Getting the opportunity to play Ella on #RunTheWorld was an absolute dream come true. I would have loved to continue to grow with this delightful character and having to come to terms with this sharp turn in my life, my dream, and career these past several weeks has been heartbreaking beyond words," Bordeaux wrote.

"I have so much love for the cast and crew of 'Run The World' and will miss them. I wish you all the best. Swipe for a few of my favorite memories," she added.

According to Deadline, Bordeaux won't be recast and it remains unclear whether the series will introduce a new character.

Bordeaux is not the first celebrity to claim they were fired from their job over on-set vaccine mandates.

In November 2021, former "General Hospital" actor Steve Burton said he was fired from the series over the mandate.

"This is also about personal freedom," he said in an Instagram video. "I don't think anyone should lose their livelihood over this."
