Cynthia Bailey leaves “RHOA” after 11 seasons

Cynthia Bailey gives up her fishing.

The “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star, 54, announced on social media Monday that she was quitting the Bravo series after 11 seasons.

“After a lot of thought and consideration, I made the very difficult and sincere decision not to return for the next season of Real Housewives of Atlanta,” she captioned a photo of herself on Instagram.

“Thank you NBC Universal, Bravo and Truly Original for over a decade of partnership. I can’t wait to see what we do next!

The “Housewives” alum then thanked his former castmates for “eleven of the most incredible years of my life; and the most incredible, UNFORGETTABLE memories!”

“I am so grateful to have had this amazing trip, and I look forward to embarking on new adventures,” added Bailey.

To her followers, she wrote: “Most importantly, THANKS to my fans! I couldn’t have done it without your blessings, love and support. Without the fans, none of this would be possible. I love you and appreciate you all.

“It’s time to move on to my next chapter,” Bailey concluded, “and I can’t wait to share it with all of you.”

A source close to the production confirmed to Page Six that Bailey’s departure was his decision and that “his statement is correct.”

Bravo declined to comment.

Rumors about Bailey’s contract renewal began over the summer after Wendy Williams told the reality star in June that she should be fired from “RHOA.”

“Let me tell you why, because there is nothing more exciting that you can give us,” said the outspoken talk show host, 57, at the time. “I don’t wanna see you fight, I don’t wanna see you get a divorce, like, I think it’s about time.”

Bailey, who married her husband Mike Hill in October 2020, responded, “God’s will, not mine, be done. I had an amazing run, it’s been an amazing 11 years as a constant fishing holder.

Although agency founder Bailey is no longer on “RHOA,” fans will soon see her again in Bravo’s upcoming all-star crossover series, “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.”

The show – which also features fan favorites Ramona Singer and Luann de Lesseps from “The Real Housewives of New York City”, Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga from “The Real Housewives of New Jersey”, Kyle Richards from “The Real Housewives” of Beverly Hills ”and Bailey’s“ RHOA ”pal Kenya Moore – is set to premiere this fall on NBC’s streaming platform Peacock.
