Why Did CeeLo Green Leave ’The Voice’? His Exit After Season 5, Explained

CeeLo Green returns as mentor and judge for Season 29 Knockout Rounds and All-Star Competition after a 12-year hiatus amid past legal issues.

  • CeeLo Green is returning to The Voice for Season 29 Knockout Rounds, serving as a mentor to teams led by John Legend and Adam Levine. He will also judge the show's new in-season All-Star Competition.
  • In February 2014, Green announced his decision to leave The Voice to pursue music and a television development deal with NBC. He stated he parted ways with the network "amicably" after running his course.
  • Amid a legal case, The Wrap reported Green left to avoid termination involving charges of "furnishing ecstasy to a female victim." He pleaded no contest in 2014, receiving three years probation.
  • Green later apologized for controversial Twitter comments regarding rape, stating, "I truly and deeply apologize for the comments attributed to me on Twitter." He called them "idiotic" and untrue.
  • As an original coach, Green returns to the program he co-founded alongside Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, and Blake Shelton, having served on Seasons 1, 2, 3, and 5 before his departure.
