The Office: Why Rashida Jones’ Karen Left After Season 3
Rashida Jones’ stint as Karen Filippelli on The Office features one of the show’s most memorable storylines, though the character was quickly written out at the end of season 3. Karen was introduced in The Office season 3 as Jim Halpert’s new coworker at Dunder Mifflin’s Stamford Branch, with the two beginning a romantic relationship while John Krasinski’s character was still getting over Pam. When the Stamford and Scranton branches merged halfway through the season, it was clear that Jim’s heart was still with Pam, leaving Karen in a difficult position.
