Bethenny Frankel has confirmed she is leaving The Real Housewives of New York.
The reality TV star announced the news in a statement to Variety, letting fans know she is ready to move on to the next chapter of her life.
“I have decided to leave the Housewives franchise to explore my next chapter. It’s time to move on and focus on my daughter, my philanthropy, and my production partnership with Mark Burnett, producing and starring in shows which represent a shift in the conversation for women. With the changes in modern culture, I want to highlight the strength, confidence, and unstoppable power that women have,” RHONY star began her message.
Frankel was an original cast member of the Bravo reality TV show when the show began in 2008. The 48-year-old took time away to focus on her other career opportunities. She decided to come back into the Bravo drama five years later during Season 7.
