"Sometimes we don't get to control the ending of the chapters in our life. I am leaving what's over without denying its past importance in my life. I believe that every exit is [a] new entry and with that in mind I say goodbye to my @Bravotv Family. Thank you to all the fans for your love and unwavering support these past 4 years. I am grateful for the housewife experience and all it has [taught] me."The 52-year-old cited needing more privacy in her life, and wanting to focus on her family and health issues.
Hadid's struggle with Lyme Disease has been a focal point on the show, with many of the women questioning the severity of her Lyme Disease.
Network Bravo released a statement in response to Hadid:
"Yolanda was a great addition to 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.' Along with our viewers, we have enjoyed and appreciated Yolanda sharing her life events, especially more recently as she struggled with Lyme Disease, We now respect her decision to focus on her health and family. We wish her a full recovery and hope to see her again sometime on the show."Hadid hasn't expressed a desire to return to RHOBH as of yet.
My Two Cents
I'm glad she's leaving the show and focusing on her health and privacy. From one chronic health sufferer to another, nothing is ever more important than your health. You have to pick and choose your battles. Only YOU know how YOU feel. No one can tell you any differently.
People are going to talk about her health until they are blue in the face. The thing about chronic illness is, it's for life. There is no cure. We have our good days and we have our horrible days. Just because you can't see the disease, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
Work on you, Yolanda Hadid. F the haters.
