Garcelle Beauvais just announced her surprise departure from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The reality star hopped on Instagram to give everyone an update, telling fans, “I have some news: I have decided to leave Beverly Hills. It’s been a wild ride, some amazing things have happened, and some hard things have also happened—but it’s been a ride nevertheless.”

So, why is she leaving? A combination of wanting to spend more time with her family and some new projects coming up.

“One of the reasons why I’m leaving is my family, my boys,” she said. “Their last year of high school is next year and I want to be a part of that. And Jade is starting a new career and I want to be a part of that, too. And secondly, I have the most exciting projects that I am developing, producing and acting in—I can’t tell you anything now, but you’ll know soon.”

As for whether she could return to the show, Garcelle teased, “Andy Cohen says I can come back anytime, the door will always be open, so you never know, I might pop back in sometime.”

“To the fans, I want to say thank you so much. You guys have cheered me on, supported me, and sometimes even fought for me or on my behalf,” she added. “It means a lot and I hope you guys will continue on this journey with me....It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later. So see you later.”
