Real Housewives of New York star Brynn Whitfield has announced her decision to walk away from the show after just two seasons.
“After a lot of thought, I’ve made the decision to walk away from reality TV. For now,” she wrote via her Instagram Stories.
“The Real Housewives of New York City will always be one of the most fun, chaotic, and magical chapters of my life. It was the honor of a lifetime to help reboot such an iconic franchise. 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,” she continued.
Brynn faced backlash from viewers and from her castmates after she claimed she had shared deeply personal revelations about a traumatic sexual assault with her fellow castmate, Ubah Hassan, who implied Brynn used sex to advance her TV career.
It was later revealed that Brynn had not fully disclosed the incident to Ubah, which upset the other Housewives and enraged the public. She apologized for the incident, but the cast distanced themselves from her.
