Apparently Hayes leaving is part of a creative reboot for the show, TVLine said, and even though it's not clear how they will write off her character, the Season 1 finale ended with Donna quitting her job as a school nurse when she was passed up for promotion. Kevin had just finished up a temporary return to the police force to work undercover with his old partner (played by Remini).
Erinn Hayes addressed the news by retweeting a Deadline story and confirming that she didn't ask to leave the show, she was "let go":
True, I've been let go from the show. Very sad, I had a great experience season 1. Thank you for all the support from our wonderful fans. https://t.co/HfYKzVuSnT

Read Moviefone's Q&A with Erinn Hayes from December 2016.
At least Leah Remini is happy to be reunited with her old "King of Queens" hubby:
"Kevin Can Wait" Season 2 premieres September 25 on CBS.
