“This is a part of my life that I am learning to navigate, and it’s been an emotional rollercoaster,” she continued. “Given where I am right now, I have decided not to return to RHOM. Prioritizing my health and my family is something I need to do at this moment. It’s a step towards healing and finding balance, and I hope you can understand and support this choice.”
“Thank you for being a part of this journey with me and for creating a space where I feel comfortable sharing these parts of my life,” Nicole concluded her message. “I hope that my openness can help others who might be struggling and encourage us all to support one another through our most challenging times.”
But fret not RHOM fans. Nicole teased to People that she will pop up “here and there” in future episodes, just not in a full-time capacity.
Amid Nicole’s departure, Bravo has yet to confirm if the show’s other castmembers—including Larsa Pippen, Alexia Nepola, Guerdy Abraira, Lisa Hochstein, Julia Lemigova, Marysol Patton, Adriana de Moura and Kiki Barth—will return for season seven.
