After much speculation and gossip, Robyn Dixon confirms that she will not be returning to RHOP for season 9. Get all the details on her exit!
“Yes, I will not be returning for season 9 of The Real Housewives of Potomac,” the 45-year-old RHOP star said in a statement. “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.”
“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 Dixon said, before thanking Bravo and Truly Original, the production company behind RHOP.“Thank you to the fans who have watched us from day 1,” she continued. “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.”
This confirmation comes just two weeks after reports circulated that Robyn Dixon had been let go from the Potomac Housewives franchise ahead of season 9.
Last month, TheJasmineBrand reported that Robyn Dixon had been fired from the Real Housewives of Potomac amid a cast shakeup ahead of season nine.
Robyn has been a staple on the Real Housewives of Potomac since the franchise’s inception in 2016. Over the years, Bravo fans have watched Robyn and her now-husband, Juan Dixon, navigate their financial issues and rekindle their romantic relationship.
Throughout the years, fans have watched Robyn and Juan’s relationship be their main storyline on the show, which included good and bad moments as well as lots of rumors about cheating.
Since becoming a Bravoleb, Robyn has tapped into her entrepreneurial spirit, creating several businesses, including her hat line Embellished and her and Gizelle’s Reasonably Shady podcast. She also co-founded a skincare line, GLO RX, and opened a GLO30 franchise, a subscription-based skincare studio in Maryland.
Longtime RHOP star Candiace Dillard is also not returning for season 9. The 37-year-old announced her departure from RHOP on March 25 via a statement to PEOPLE.
“As I embark on a new chapter after six remarkable years with The Real Housewives of Potomac, I am filled with gratitude for the enriching friendships, personal growth and moments of introspection that have defined this journey,” Candiace Dillard said in a statement. ”With a whirlwind of new opportunities and responsibilities on my plate, I have decided to take a break from RHOP.”
The RHOP star went on to tease that her exit may only be temporary: “This is not a farewell, but a ‘see you later.’ “
She ended her statement by thanking Bravo fans for their support throughout the years: “Your unwavering support has been my guiding light, and I look forward to the exciting adventures that lie ahead — and more importantly, sharing them all with you!”
The Real Housewives of Potomac is expected to return for season 9 in early 2025.
