I believe he actually wanted to leave. He's a Co creator and will still win money from Rick and Morty. But not if people stop watching as protest or something like that. And at this point it's all 100% an image issue and it doesn't matter if he's guilty or not. He knows his image is already fkd. Most of his "friends" and coworkers cut relations with him to protect themselves.

This is just speculation, but I assumed as a matter of respect, the R&M team would have given him a choice to step down or not. I don't see a situation where keeping him on would be worth the hassle.
