Kim Fields joined the cast of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" in season 8, but the actress already revealed that she will no longer return for season 9.

During a guesting on "The Rickey Smiley Morning Show" early this week, Kim told the radio show host that she is not thinking about coming back after season 8.

"It feels more like Brett Favre and the Jets, you know — I'm done," the "Facts of Life" actress said, comparing her stint on Bravo's reality show with the NFL star's single-season stay with the team. "I think about too, at the beginning of the season, what did my mama say? 'Get in and get out.' Listen to your mama."

However, Kim revealed that she was very grateful for the time that she spent on the show since she finally experienced doing a reality series after receiving offers before. "Overall it was a really great experience," the actress stated in the radio interview, as reported by Us Weekly.

But Kim's fans will not have to miss her just yet, since the actress recently began her stint on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" season 22.

Meanwhile, Kim's co-star Cynthia Bailey revealed during an interview on the "Reality Checked with Amy Phillips" radio show that she and her husband Peter Thomas are not on good terms despite having the best time during the Jamaican vacation seen at the end of season 8.

"At the finale, what you guys saw, we were definitely at a better place. I will say that Peter and I are not in a great place right now," Cynthia admitted in the interview, as reported by the Daily Mail. However, she revealed that she has no idea about the status of her relationship right now. "I usually have all the answers for all the questions, but when it comes to my marriage, I just don't know right now," she said.

Meanwhile, rumors about Fox News reporter Stacey Dash appearing in "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" season 9 are starting to emerge, but the network and Dash have yet to confirm if the reports are accurate.
