“I feel like people are very curious about me leaving the show and all these things. Part of it is I had to do so much that is very personal and private so publicly and not just miscarriage, but grief and postpartum stuff after pregnancy, and then a miscarriage,” she says.
“I feel like I’m at a point where it’s too hard for me at my age — I’ve been in media since I was 20 if you count internships — I can’t keep having myself in these situations where if I’m having a miscarriage, God forbid, that I have to do it in front of theNew York Timesphotographers if that makes sense.”
McCain first publicly revealed in aNew York Timesop-ed in July 2019 that she had been pregnant with a daughter but subsequentlysuffered a miscarriage. She called the loss a “horrendous experience” at the time, adding that she “would not wish it upon anyone.”
