Monique Samuels will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Potomac.
Samuels announced her decision on Instagram Live on Sunday following the season 5 reunion show of The Real Housewives of Potomac. “It’s not easy to do reality TV, and to be completely honest … I’m over it. I’m over it, “she said to the fans.
“I appreciate everything that people have done for me, everyone who was Team Monique. I love you all, thank you all. But when you exceed certain limits, there is no turning back. For me my family is that line. My family and my kids’ opinions and what they think of everything I do is more valuable to me than anyone’s opinion, so I’m over it. “
Describing the season five reunion show on Sunday as “very exhausting,” Samuels stated that she had decided to leave the show to protect her family from drama.

“When my kids get older and say they saw everything and they saw the show, what answer can I give them? What would that satisfy? “She added.” I wanted to represent real black love and show people something that was outside of the stereotype on TV. Unfortunately, I’ve played with that exact stereotype this season … I’ve been working overtime to really check myself out because this is exactly the opposite of what I want to show on a TV show and especially in real life. I will always be a good example and role model for my children and you have to know when enough is enough. And enough is enough. “
The fifth season of Real Housewives of Potomac centered on Samuels’ marriage to former NFL player Chris Samuels and on rumors of the paternity of their 2-year-old son Chase.

Samuels, who was on the show on season two, thanked Bravo, “a network that’s so amazing,” and thanked her for “having the platform to talk to so many people every week. I am so blessed and thankful. “
Samuels is the last to leave the franchise, after Teddi Mellencamp of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Denise Richards, Dorinda Medley of New York City and NeNe Leakes of Atlanta.
