After 3 seasons, Yolonda Hadid is leaving Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
The 52-year-old star announced her departure from the show on Instagram today. Her statement reads:
“I would have loved a more graceful exit then ‘Season 6’ but sometimes we don’t get to control the endings of the chapters in our life………… I am leaving what’s over without denying its past importance in my life. I believe that every exit is an new entry and with that in mind I say goodbye to my@Bravotv Family as I continue to focus on a my recovery and bring back the privacy within our home……….. Thank you to all the fans for your love and unwavering support these past 4 years. I am grateful for the housewife experience and all it has thought me. I’am excited about this choice and look forward to the next chapter of my life……………… #RHOBH#TimeToSayGoodbye with #Gratitude@evolutionusa @bravoandy @bravotv#WWHL”
In response, the show’s executive producer Andy Cohen tweeted, “We love you @YolandaHFoster #RHOBH.”
Hadid’s departure follows a tumultuous season where she clashed with fellow housewives Lisa Vanderpump and Lisa Rinna. The two co-stars accused Hadid of pretending to be ill, also known as Munchausen syndrome, after Hadid claimed she suffers from Lyme disease. It’s been reported that her daughter Bella and son Anwar also have the disease.
The last season also chronicled Hadid’s split from husband David Foster after less than 4 years of marriage.
In April, Bravo announced that the series had been renewed for a seventh season. The official cast list has not been posted but will most likely include Vanderpump, Rinna, Erika Girardi, Kathryn Edwards, and Eileen Davidson.
