Why Miriam Amirault Left The Curse Of Oak Island

Miriam Amirault, a prominent archaeologist featured on the History Channel's hit show The Curse of Oak Island, left the series twice. Her first departure occurred in Season 9 when her fellow archaeologist, Laird Niven, discovered a Mi kmaq pottery fragment. Due to its First Nations origin, local Canadian regulations halted all archaeological activity in that area, prompting Amirault and several other academics to leave the production.

Although Amirault returned for seven episodes in Season 10, including the finale, she ultimately left the show permanently. The reasons behind her second exit remain unexplained, with neither Amirault nor the History Channel releasing an official statement about her departure. Fans have speculated that Amirault may have returned to school, given her expressed interest in forensic studies at Humber College.

Speculation also arose regarding potential behind-the-scenes conflicts with Alex Lagina, Amanda's son, as she appeared unhappy and uncomfortable during Season 10. However, these rumors have been debunked. As of late 2025, Miriam Amirault remains an enigma, with no trace of her online presence or any official word from the show regarding her exit.
