The rules of the league were that she is -required- to give interviews.
But because of her anxiety disorder, she -can't- give them. They refused to give her an exception to the rule, and so she had to leave the circuit.

I question the authenticity of being "unable" to give interviews. This link will take you to an interview she gave in 8/2020. Can it be that anxiety is so great she can't do interviews that promote her career, but less so when she discusses her activism? I struggle with that.
