And she’s keeping it all sorts of candid about why.

Full story below…

For weeks there have been murmurs that Dixon, who was an anchoring cast member since the Bravo show debuted eight years ago, had been let go.

Today (April 15), a mere matter of hours after the season 8 reunion concluded, the 45-year-old formally announced the news.

Revealing her exit during the latest episode of her Reasonably Shady podcast, Dixon said:

“Yes, I will not be returning for season 9 of The Real Housewives of Potomac. It’s reality. The network did not invite me back. I was fired, for lack of better words. I will not sugar-coat the situation the situation and say, ‘Ooh I am walking away and this is a break’ or anything like this. This is a network decision.”

Speaking with her podcast co-host and her now-former RHOP castmate Gizelle Bryant, she added:

“I’m okay with it because nothing lasts forever. I’ve had a very long run on the show, and I just really appreciate that time and the opportunity that I had on the show.

Thank you to the fans who have watched us from day 1. I do want to especially thank all of the fans and viewers who have supported me, showed loved to me. Whether you directly sent me love or you prayed for me or you have positive thoughts around me, I appreciate you. And I hope I inspired you the viewers, the fans, to live your life authentically. To not feel pressure to change for anyone, or impress people, and just to be yourself.”

Continuing, Dixon said of her decision to speak up now:

“I wanted to speak my own business, my own life, my own news, my own life, my own news, and I wanted to share it out of my own mouth when the time was appropriate. And I felt like the appropriate time would be once season 8 of The Real Housewives of Potomac was finished airing, which it is. now finished airing; the last reunion episode just went off last night. And I wanted to respect the network and respect the show and wait until the season ended, which I think makes sense.”

“I really want to say I love you. It’s been such a fun, amazing, stressful, crazy wild journey the past 8 years. I couldn’t imagine doing what we did with anyone else.”

To my green-eyed bandit, my partner in crime.” Dixon added. “Although we still have Reasonably Shady, I’m still going to talk to you all the time and see you all the time, I hate that that part of our friendship is not there anymore.”

Dixon’s exit comes after Candiace Dillard-Bassett revealed that is leaving the show.
