Why Is Cynthia Bailey Leaving ‘RHOA’? Details on Cynthia’s Exit

Later, Cynthia elaborated on her statement and shared the real reason she exited the series in an interview with E! News’ Daily Pop. According to the reality star, her exit was years in the making. “It was time, it was honestly time. I had been thinking about it for a while — just the whole transition. I knew it wasn’t going to last forever. I knew I didn’t want to do it forever,” she shared.

“Ten years is a good run,” she added. “But that said, with me just thinking about it, then the whole thing happened with us going on hiatus, so it gave me more time to think about it and then I got really used to not going back.”
