You know it’s also possible when it’s announced someone is leaving a production, that they have, um, what’s the phrase…
Oh! “Scheduling conflicts!”

Sometimes people line up a TV role that’s not public yet, or are joining a Broadway cast that hasn’t been announced yet, or have a family member with an illness that’s now making more demands on their time, etc.
Especially with Encores, when people take these two-week jobs months out it’s with the understanding on both sides that something else may come up (just a few years ago Dule Hill was announced as the lead in The Tap Dance Kid - but before rehearsals began he was cast as the father in the reboot of The Wonder Years and had to reluctantly bow out just a few weeks before).

Most of the time scheduling conflicts are just that - it’s a vague phrase but there’s nothing confusing about it, let alone malicious;
so it seems quite strange to arrogantly dismiss it as “an obvious lie”.
