“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,” Dillard Bassett, 37, added.

“With … new responsibilities on my plate, I have decided to take a break from RHOP.”

The former Miss United States also thanked her fans for being her “guiding light.”

“The flaw of this season is that there are women who aren’t able to find any common ground with some of the other women, so there are all these pockets of women that just won’t even acknowledge each other — which is not a recipe for, you know, [good TV],” the “Watch What Happens Live” host said on SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live” earlier this month.

“One of the hallmarks of the ‘Housewives’ is finding a way to move forward. And so, that was kind of the directive of the ‘Potomac’ reunion,” he went on.

Before appearing on the show, the “Drive Back” singer served in the White House Offices of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs under former President Barack Obama.

Throughout her tenure as a Bravo star, she tied the knot with her husband, Chris Bassett, on-camera and appeared in the third season of “Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip.”
