Overview

  • Whitfield announced on June 9 that she will depart the series to devote her energy to her dating app Hoppy, her podcast Please See Below and an upcoming memoir
  • Her Season 15 finale fallout stemmed from a heated clash with co-star Ubah Hassan over an alleged derogatory remark tied to Whitfield’s disclosure of past sexual assault
  • A Page Six insider reports that her exit has brought relief to castmates who had largely distanced themselves during the season’s tensions
  • Rebecca Minkoff, who quit the show in February, said she wasn’t surprised by Whitfield’s decision and voiced support for a refreshed cast dynamic
  • Bravo has reportedly met with more than 10 potential new Housewives and is weighing additions like Summer House star Lindsay Hubbard for the rebooted Season 16
