There needs to be a gag order placed on the media about revealing personal information about the jurors. The reason the juror asked to be removed from the trial is because her family and friends had discovered she was selected as a juror.
It sounds like the judge has instructed the jury not to report on the past and present employment of jurors.

Her family and friends were able to figure out out by all the personal details being reported on by the media.
Two jurors in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial were dismissed Thursday, one after expressing doubt about her ability to be fair and impartial and the other over concerns that some of his answers in court may not have been accurate.
The dismissals reduced to five the number of jurors who have been seated for the first-ever criminal trial of a former president.
The setbacks in the selection process emerged during a frenetic morning in which prosecutors also asked for Trump to be held in contempt over a series of social media posts this week, while the judge barred reporters from identifying jurors’ employers after expressing privacy concerns.

I had a fraud trial in which the foreman of the jury, after a day into their deliberation, handed the Judge a note;
"Is it the case that we have to decide whether the Defendant is guilty or not"?
This, after a six month long trial.
Morons deciding someone's fate.
Afterwards the jury insisted on taking me and my QC over the road for a pub lunch. It was a complex fraud case and it became clear that the jury had not taken in any of the complex points but instead based their decision on completely irrelevant and frankly racist grounds.
Halfway thru lunch I whispered to the Silk that isn't it verboten to discuss the jury's deliberations? It is. He went white as a sheet and we legged it.
