What killed her career was talking shit about her past projects AS SOON AS IT WAS DONE. I mean Knocked Up actually was a pretty successful movie and she acted like she was above it all. And then she trashed Grey's something awful. She pissed off so many people and she sort of blackballed herself.

Congrats on the baby though. A true blessing.
I agree with all of this. She forgot the profession she is in and thought she was going to be a big time movie actress and burned a lot of bridges on her way out of Grey's Anatomy.  Besides Knocked Up her resume was not filled with successful movies and instead of realizing and appreciating the lucky break that she got or at least being smart enough to pretend to be greatful in public she trashed it and burned a bridge to potentially more successful work.  The projects she has been offered thus far are not exactly stellar or diversified and she is gaining a rep as box office poison. If she had been smart she would have behaved professionally on Grey's Anatomy while using the opportunity of a steady paycheck to focus on finding quality scripts that would have built her up as a diversified actress in movies. Once that was established she could have made a graceful exit from Grey's Anatomy and transitioned smoothly to being a movie actress. She is a good actress but her career plan seemed to consist of pissing as many people off as possible who could actually help her if not now then in the future. It was so strange and lacked the basic awareness of what her career actually was compared to what she apparently thought it was to have that kind of ego. I have never seen someone throw away career leverage that easily. In any case best wishes to her and the new addition to her family.
