Real Housewives of Potomac star Robyn Dixon has recently confirmed leaving the Bravo show. On April 15, Robyn Dixon opened up on her podcast, called Reasonably Shady, and spoke about her exit from the show. Robyn stated that the primary reason behind her decision to leave the show was that she wasn't called back for the ninth season of the show by the producers and the network.

"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."

Robyn's decision to quit Real Housewives of Potomac has come as a shock to numerous fans and members of the audience. Many believe the cast of the Bravo show will never be the same without Robyn, as she was one of the original cast members when the Bravo show first debuted back in January 2016.

Thus, viewers are keen to know everything about Robyn Dixon's exit from RHOP.

Robyn's appearance alongside Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, Karen Huger, Charisse Jackson-Jordan, and the others, since the first season, went on to solidify her status as an integral part of Real Housewives of Potomac. The audiences were accustomed to watching Robyn navigate through the Bravo show to which she had contributed to a large degree.

However, following the intense eight seasons of the show, the cast underwent certain important structural changes. While Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, Karen Huger, and Charisse Jackson-Jordan stepped into the next season, Robyn left the show as she was reportedly not invited to be a part of the ninth season.

Speaking about the unfortunate turn of events on her podcast Reasonably Shady on April 15, Robyn mentioned that she was at peace with her decision.

"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."

Robyn then went on to extend her gratitude to both Truly Original (the production company in charge of the show) and Bravo. She also took a moment to thank the numerous fans that have made her long journey on Real Housewives of Potomac memorable. In this connection, she went on to say:

"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."

Although the news of Robyn leaving the show first came to the surface on March 25, she did not come out and speak about her exit immediately. Robyn waited until season eight had concluded airing, and it was only then that she spoke about not continuing with the show's ninth season on her podcast.

"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, I wanted to respect the network and the show and wait until the season ended, which I think makes sense."

While fans believe Robyn's absence will be felt on the show, they hope she fares well in her future endeavors.
