Why did Luann de Lesseps leave ‘RHONY’?

According to a report by Radar Online, Luann decided to not return as a full-time cast member for 'The Real Housewives of New York City' Season 6.

At that point in time, Bravo shared a picture of the star cast of the sixth season's cast members and the 'RHONY' veteran Luan de Lesseps was nowhere to be seen in the photograph.

While having a chat with E! News, the TV personality said, "The show has been a part of my life for so long. There's a special place in my heart for the show, for the women, I'm really close to the women on the show. I just made the decision to step back so I can spend more time doing my things with business and my family."

She further added, "It's a win-win for me. I'm still on the show. I'm still very much a part of the show, but it's not a fulltime thing. It's very engulfing when you're on it. It takes up all of your mental and physical energy."

During her latest interview with Rolling Stone, Luann talked about having her own dating show.

She told the media outlet, "Wouldn’t it be interesting to see someone charm the socks off of the Countess?"

Luann added. "[I’d say things like], ‘Did you not open the door for me?’ ‘Why did you order that?’ ‘What is that shirt you have?’ It would certainly beat dating online.”
