In response to his BET show departure, Sean took to Instagram and posted a video that captured him joking around with his former co-star, KJ Smith.
KJ’s character of Andrea “Andi” Barnes and Sean’s Jordan were love interests during the latest season of Sistas.
The actor captioned the post, “To all my Sistas family, sorry I can’t be on your screens and be a part of this season!”
“But I just want to say thank you for all the messages and love you’ve shown me. Honestly means more than you know. And heyy Who knows what the future holds.”
He concluded the caption by writing, “Massive thank you to all the squad for making me feel so welcome @kjsmithofficial @salstowers @b_wellington @monti_washington @iamnovibrown and to @tylerperry for the opportunity.”
The Jordan character was recast due to scheduling conflicts after Sean landed a lead role in the fifth installment of the NCIS franchise, NCIS: Sydney.
