Robyn Dixon will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Potomac.
Robyn Dixon will not be included in the cast for Season 9 of The Real Housewives of Potomac when it returns.
The original cast member officially announced her departure on the Monday, April 15 episode of her podcast "Reasonably Shady." She stated that it was not her decision to leave RHOP.
“I will not be returning to season 9 of The Real Housewives of Potomac,” she shared. “The network did not invite me back. I was fired, for lack of better words.”
During her talk with fellow RHOP cast member Gizelle Bryant, Dixon became emotional as she discussed her departure.
“I hope that I inspired you, the viewers, the fans, to live your life, you know, authentically, not feel pressure to change for anyone or for society or to impress people and just to be yourself,” she said.
Dixon has been a member of the Maryland spinoff since it began in 2016, along with other cast members such as Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, Karen Huger, Charrisse Jackson-Jordan, and Katie Rost.
“I had a very long run on the show,” she continued on the podcast. “I just really appreciate the time and the opportunity that I had on the show. I just want to say thank you to the network.”
Even though the situation was difficult, the reality star was thankful for the chance to be on the Bravo show.
“I just want to say thank you to the network. Bravo, Truly Original, the production company, the executives there. The people who gave me the opportunity to be on the show, who saw something in me in 2015,” she stated.
Dixon finished her remarks by thanking the show's fans.
“I do want to especially thank all of the fans and viewers who have supported me, showed loved to me,” she said. “Whether you directly sent me love or you prayed for me or you have positive energy or positive thoughts around me, I appreciate you.”
Her announcement was made the day after the season 8 reunion of the show ended, which was split into three parts.
During the season, viewers witnessed Dixon and Candiace Dillard Bassett having conflicts.
Candiace announced her departure on March 25.
“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,” she said in a statement to People magazine. “With a whirlwind of new opportunities and responsibilities on my plate, I have decided to take a break from RHOP.“
