Brynn Whitfield of “The Real Housewives of New York City” took to social media to announce she’ll be leaving the program after appearing on two seasons of the rebooted Bravo series.

“After a lot of thought, I’ve made the decision to walk away from reality TV. For now,” Whitfield penned in a post to her Instagram story.

“‘The Real Housewives of New York City’ will always be one of the most fun, chaotic, and magical chapters of my life,” she went on to say.

“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.”

Whitfield, 39, took the opportunity to share that she’ll be releasing a book later this year.

According to Bravo, she’ll also be devoting more time to a dating app she co-founded called “Rizz” for which she’ll serve as chief marketing officer.
