Forgive us as we’re off to cry in the fish room. <\/p>\n

Bethenny Frankel<\/a><\/strong> is leaving The Real Housewives of New York<\/em> ahead of the 12th season, according to Variety<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“I have decided to leave the Housewives<\/em> franchise to explore my next chapter,” she said in a statement to Variety. “It’s time to move on and focus on my daughter, my philanthropy and my production partnership with Mark Burnett, producing and starring in shows which represent a shift in the conversation for women. With the changes in modern culture, I want to highlight the strength, confidence and unstoppable power that women have. My experience at Bravo has been an incredibly magical ride. I am so grateful to them for highlighting my entrepreneurialism and allowing me to pave the way for many women to achieve their goals. I am excited for my future. The best is yet to come.” <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

A source tells E! News that Bethenny’s castmates are “flabbergasted” and did not see this coming. <\/p>\n

“Filming just started and there was no indication of this…Everyone was under the assumption she would be filming,” the source said. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Bethenny was an original cast member when she show premiered in 2008, left during the third season, and then returned in season seven in 2015. Season 10 was a particularly tough time for Frankel, who was going through a difficult custody battle with ex-husband Jason Hoppy and was dealing with the death of her ex Dennis Shields. Season 10 also found Bethenny having a meltdown<\/a> in Miami in Luann de Lesseps’ face. <\/p>\n

She also has been doing humanitarian work in areas affected by tragedy and natural disasters, and signed a new deal with MGM in March to produce and potentially appear on her own un-scripted shows with Mark Burnett, so Bethenny clearly has a lot on her plate. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The Real Housewives of New York<\/em> will return for season 12 later this year with remaining cast members Luann de Lesseps, Dorinda Medley, Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan, and Tinsley Mortimer. <\/p>\n

E! and Bravo are both part of the NBC Universal family. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
