Jonas Has Not Made a Public Statement About His Reasons for Leaving The Voice
Jonas hasn’t made any public statements about why he left The Voice. In the hours leading up to the season premiere, he did not write on social media about the upcoming show. Instead, he took to social media to encourage his fans to vote.
“Challenge accepted @michelleobama! I challenge @PatrickMahomes @Deandre and @kevinhart4real to create their #VotingSquad 💪🏼 How are you guys voting? Drop your voting plan in the comments. Let’s go!” he wrote.
Stefani left the show for a Las Vegas residency as Jonas joined the show. She is returning for season 19, which Distractify reported may be the reason Jonas left. Her residency ended early due to the coronavirus. Stefani was a judge on seasons 7, 9, 12, and 17, and also appeared on seasons 8 and 10.
Jonas currently has the shortest tenure of any other judge on the show. Jennifer Hudson, Miley Cyrus, Usher and Shakira coached on the show for two seasons. Last year, one of Jonas’ artists, Thunderstorm Artis, finished as a runner-up.
Fans Questioned Why Jonas Left The Voice as the Season Premiere Drew Near

“We sat in the front row today at The Voice & had so many interactions with Nick. It was PERFECT,” Theresa Madrigal wrote on Twitter one year ago. “Theresa, Jordan, & I were fangirling so hard the girls around us were like “we totally can’t tell you guys are Jonas brothers fans” NO SHAME.”
She shared the tweet with an update, writing, “Yr. ago today Nick Jonas gave me finger guns after I yelled so da*n loud when he came out for his 1st taping of the voice… yea I’m BIG sad.”
