On Wednesday, PEOPLE exclusively revealed that the Real Housewives of Orange County star, along with castmates Kelly Dodd and Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, will not be returning to the Bravo reality series.
“I’m incredibly sad to not be able to come back to The Real Housewives of Orange County next year.
“It feels revolutionary to say, but I was able to get sober and stay sober on reality TV.
“I know I may have been too much for some, and that’s okay.
Sean had someone else in our home, I had feelings for another woman, a lot of things were occurring off-camera at that time.
“We had known that I was bisexual for a long time, but some things had happened … I was sober, I was doing inventory, and I had, for the first time in my life, been with a woman, sober.
We do want to stay married, we do want to stay parents, we are best friends.
There’s just no way and if she comes back then I’m out because I know for a fact that I cannot.
Later, Dodd said, “If I’m coming back next year, I just can’t come back next year filming with somebody so reckless,” and concluded: “I just can’t.
