Brynn Whitfield’s time on “The Real Housewives of New York City” has come to an end.
The marketing consultant announced she’s “[walking] away from reality TV … for now” after two seasons on the Bravo show.
“Last week, Hoppy — the dating app I co-founded and proudly serve as Chief Marketing Officer — hit a massive download milestone. I can’t even put into words how surreal it feels. All I want to do now is pour every ounce of energy into building Hoppy into the #1 dating app in the world,” she shared in a statement via Instagram Stories Monday.
Whitfield, 39, went on to thank “every person who gave [her] a chance, cheered [her] on, and afforded [her] love and grace.”
“‘The Real Housewives of New York’ will always be one of the most fun, chaotic, and magical chapters of my life,” she wrote. “It was the honor of a lifetime to help reboot such an iconic franchise. From day one, I’ve believed RHONY is a fan’s show — we’re just temporary custodians of something that truly belongs to the viewers.
“I hope I made you laugh (a lot), cry (a little), and more than anything — I hope there’s a TV in heaven so that Mimi (who LIVED for her shows) could watch me and be proud,” she said, referencing her late grandmother, Darlene, who was her mother figure before passing away in March 2021 at 81.

Whitfield then plugged her “Please See Below” podcast, in which she has “never felt more me,” before announcing the release of her book “later this year.”
She concluded her post by referencing her “RHONY” taglines, saying, “We’re done dating his dad. It’s time to steal his inheritance.”
The marketing executive leaving to focus on her business endeavors isn’t all too surprising, as she constantly shaded her castmates — Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Raquel Chevremont, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons and Jessel Taank — by claiming she’s the only one with a full-time job.
“I’m the only one that works a full-time job on my cast,” she said on the “Trading Secrets” podcast in April.
“We have influencers, we have models, we have art curators [De Silva, Hassan, Chevremont]. We have people that did work at J. Crew three years ago but now they’re just, like, honorary positions [Lyons]. We have, like, a real estate agent that hasn’t sold a house in seven years [Lichy].
The news comes just one month after Bravo boss Andy Cohen denied the rumor that “RHONY” was getting canceled. In fact, he assured that casting was “heavily underway” and Bravo execs had already met with 10 potential new “Housewives.”
