Brynn's Departure Announcement
Brynn Whitfield called her time on 'RHONY' one of the 'most fun, chaotic, and magical chapters' of her life.
On June 9, Whitfield announced she was leaving the franchise after two seasons.
“After a lot of thought, I’ve made the decision to walk away from reality TV. For now,” she wrote on Instagram. “Last week, Hoppy — the dating app I co-founded and proudly serve as Chief Marketing Officer — hit a massive download milestone. I can’t even put into words how surreal it feels. All I want to do now is pour every ounce of energy into building Hoppy into the #1 dating app in the world.”
Whitfield shared she was thankful for her time on the franchise, calling it one of the “most fun, chaotic, and magical chapters of my life.”
A source insisted Brynn Whitfield was fired from 'RHONY' and did not leave on her own accord.
“It was the honor of a lifetime to help reboot such an iconic franchise,” she added. “From day one, I’ve believed RHONY is a fan’s show — we’re just temporary custodians of something that truly belongs to the viewers. I hope I made you laugh (a lot), cry (a little), and more than anything — I hope there’s a TV in heaven so that Mimi (who LIVED for her shows) could watch me and be proud. To every person who gave me a chance, cheered me on, and afforded me love and grace – thank you.”
In the wake of her announcement, an insider told OK! she was fired and didn’t walk away on her own accord.
