Brandi Glanville Confirms She's Leaving “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”

Brandi Glanville has broken her silence on her "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" future.

Days after E! News exclusively broke the news that the 42-year-old would not be returning to the hit series next season, Glanville confirmed she's no longer a full-time castmember.

"After a lot of careful thought and deliberation I have decided not to return to 'RHOBH' as a full time cast member this season," she wrote on Instagram Wednesday. "The past 4 years have been amazing, a complete roller coaster of a ride. I will always be thankful to Bravo and the opportunities that have come along with doing this pop culture phenomenon of a show. In the meantime, I'm working hard on my podcast, my new wine business and my clothing line. And keep an eye out for my next adventure that will show everyone a more well-rounded side of who I really am."

Glanville also confirmed her "RHOBH" exit on her podcast.

"After a lot of careful thought and deliberation, I have decided not to return to the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,'" she said. "I mean, they've been awesome. And Bravo will always be my family. Like Andy [Cohen] said, 'It's the mafia, you never really get to leave us.'"

"They've been so great to me," she added. "And if I'm available and they need me, they know how to find me. We'll see. But I'm excited about what the future holds...It's just been a great four years, and I'm just really excited for what's next. And like I said, it's always gonna be my family. So I'll see ya when I see ya, peeps."

(E! and Bravo are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
