Here’s why Amanda Clark-Stoner left The Traitors
Stone left The Traitors after testing positive for COVID-19.
Stoner took to her Instagram handle, sharing a now-deleted reel, explaining why she was suddenly removed from the reality show. She greeted fans saying “It’s your favorite disappearing faithful Amanda here.”
Debunking all the speculations around her departure, she revealed that despite taking COVID precautions, she, unfortunately, tested positive. Before reaching Scotland, where the series is filmed, she took all necessary care, like wearing an N-95 mask on flights, and got quarantined as well. Nevertheless, the odds weren’t in her favor—after learning about the test, she described the feeling as “like the rug got pulled out from underneath me.” Heartbroken, she regretted having lost such a wonderful opportunity to feature in the series.
She didn’t let the situation dishearten her and channeled her positive side while being proud of her gameplay as a Faithful. She was happy that none of the traitors was able to catch and murder her during her time in the game.
Moreover, she also debunked a range of rumors, concerning her pregnancy and departure. She also clarified, “Your girl is not a quitter. I could’ve broken both my legs, and I would have been hobbling around that castle trying to figure out who the traitors were. I was a faithful through and through, trying to figure it out.” (via ScreenRant)
In addition, she believed she had unfinished business in the game, subtly hinting at coming back for revenge. Her statement had opened doors for her potential return sometime in the future. However, for now, nothing is confirmed.
