'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' season 7 cast, release date: Yolanda Hadid announces departure

After the departure of Kim Richards and Brandi Glanville in December, another housewife will exit the show before the beginning of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" season 7.

In her Instagram account, Yolanda Hadid confirmed that she will not return to the Bravo series after season 6.

"I would have loved a more graceful exit than season 6 but sometimes we don't get to control the ending of the chapters in our life," the mother of three wrote.

❤️I would have loved a more graceful exit then "Season 6" but sometimes we don't get to control the ending of the chapters in our life.............. I am leaving what's over without denying its past importance in my life. I believe that every exit is an new entry and with that in mind I say goodbye to my @Bravotv Family as I continue to focus on a my recovery, my children and bring back the privacy within our Home........... Thank you to all the fans for your love and unwavering support these past 4 years. I am grateful for the housewife experience and all it has taught me. I'am excited about this CHOICE and look forward to the next chapter of my life.................. #RHOBH #TimeToSayGoodbye with #Gratitude @evolutionusa @bravoandy @bravotv #WWHL

While Hadid did not exactly reveal the reason why she had to leave the show, the actress said that her departure means that she will have more time to spend with her kids Gigi, 21, Bella, 19, and Anwar, 16. However, she acknowledged that being a part of the show since its third season in 2012 made a big impact on her life.

"I am leaving what's over without denying its past importance in my life. I believe that every exit is an new entry and with that in mind I say goodbye to my @Bravotv Family as I continue to focus on a my recovery, my children and bring back the privacy within our Home," she added.

It also appears like Yolanda's decision to quit "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" has the full support of Bravo, as the network revealed in a statement published by People that she was had amazing contribution to the show.

"Along with our viewers, we have enjoyed and appreciated Yolanda sharing her life events, especially more recently as she struggled with Lyme Disease. We now respect her decision to focus on her health and family. We wish her a full recovery and hope to see her again sometime on the show," the network stated.

Could this mean that Yolanda can still return to the series as a recurring character in the upcoming "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" season 7 when it returns later this year?
