A well-known television personality has announced her departure from a long-running reality series, describing a period of profound personal difficulty that led to the decision.
The star revealed on her podcast that she had reached a breaking point, entering the latest season with significant anxiety and uncertainty. “I think I just hit a wall,” she stated, explaining that ongoing personal matters, which she has been addressing in therapy, brought her to what she called her “lowest point.”
She described a state of deep fatigue, where her “body just shuts down,” making the demands of filming nearly impossible. “It’s really hard to film like that when you feel like that,” she admitted.
While she did not detail all the factors contributing to her state, she confirmed that the serious health crisis of a close friend has been an immense burden. That friend, a fellow podcast host and former reality star, is currently battling brain cancer after being hospitalized with severe headaches and undergoing surgery to remove multiple tumors.
Despite her own struggles, the departing star credited that same friend with providing crucial support. She shared that during a recent pep talk, her friend’s direct and humorous encouragement helped lift her spirits for the first time in a long while. A subsequent reunion, she said, made “everything” feel clear again.
Her initial announcement of leaving the series was blunt, referencing “real problems” and stating that the “reality s— doesn’t make sense.” The move concludes a lengthy tenure on the program, marking a significant shift as she prioritizes her personal well-being and supports a friend in a critical fight.
