What reason did Jonathan Roumie give for walking out of the interview?

1. What the available reporting actually documents

None of the items you provided say Roumie walked out. The Evangelical Focus/Protestante Digital piece covers an on‑site interview in Madrid and describes Roumie as tired but cooperative during a press session for The Chosen’s fifth‑season premiere ^[1]. Vatican News reports Roumie presenting a wooden box to the pope and making remarks about the production, again in the context of an interview after the meeting ^[2]. The New York Times long feature profiles Roumie’s career, faith and the show’s reach — it does not report any walkout during its published reporting ^[3]. Deseret News summarizes Roumie’s appearance on Tucker Carlson’s program; that item likewise reports on the interview content rather than an abrupt departure ^[4].

2. How a “walkout” claim would need to be sourced

Because the four documents you supplied contain no episode of a walkout, any claim that Roumie walked out must be supported by a different source — for example, contemporaneous video, an on‑the‑record statement from Roumie or the interviewer, or a reliable news outlet that directly observed or quoted participants about the event. Available sources do not mention such evidence here ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}.

3. Context about the interviews these sources do describe

The Madrid interview was part of a press day around the Season 5 premiere and notes Roumie’s fatigue from multiple interviews that morning ^[1]. Vatican News frames Roumie’s comments in a formal setting after a meeting with the pope and notes a specific anecdote about a wooden box made from set crosses ^[2]. The New York Times piece situates Roumie as a public figure whose portrayal has made him a de facto faith leader for some viewers and reports the show’s large audience ^[3]. Deseret News covers a TV appearance in which Roumie recounted the audition and his relationship with director Dallas Jenkins ^[4].

4. Possible reasons people might report a “walkout” incorrectly

High‑emotion public figures, busy press days, and selective excerpts can create the impression someone left abruptly. In the Madrid reporting, queer signals such as visible exhaustion could be misread as disengagement; Evangelical Focus specifically notes Roumie’s tired eyes after many interviews that morning ^[1]. Social media clips or out‑of‑context excerpts from long interview days can amplify such misunderstandings. However, the supplied reporting itself does not document any of those dynamics escalating into a walkout ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}.

5. Competing interpretations and missing information

One interpretation consistent with these sources: Roumie was available, spoke at length and answered questions at multiple events, but was visibly tired during a packed press schedule ^{[1] [2] [4]}. Another — unsupported by these items — would be that he walked out for a specific reason. That claim is not corroborated by the supplied reporting; available sources do not mention any walkout or a reason for it ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}.

6. How to verify a walkout claim responsibly

To substantiate a walkout, seek primary evidence: video of the exchange, contemporaneous reporting from the outlet that conducted the interview, or a direct statement from Roumie, his representatives, or the interviewer. If you have a specific incident (date, outlet, platform) in mind, provide that and I will check the available reporting for confirmation. The current document set contains no such confirmation ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}.
