Real Housewives of Orange County star Peggy Tanous is kissing her fellow cast mates goodbye and announced via Facebook yesterday that she will not be returning for season 7 of the hit show.
Peggy explained that “after months of negotiation and soul searching,” she has “declined their offer to return to the show.”
Peggy continued, “I just felt in my heart that being around the negative energy of certain cast members, being forced to have ‘dramatic’ confrontations and the time it would take me away from my family was just not a healthy path for me.”
What’s next for the ex-Bravo star? “I already have several opportunities to host upcoming TV shows that will empower woman, as well as my husband and I are about to launch our own wine.” Peggy also hints at what she really wants to do: “Who knows, perhaps if many of you want to continue to follow me and my family’s lives, then a new show can be created!”
