On June 5, the day after the intense season 9 “Summer House” reunion, DeSorbo, who became part of the series in 2019, revealed her decision to depart from the show.

In her Instagram Stories, she stated, “I have a little life update for you: I’ve made the decision not to return to Summer House.” Reflecting on her time on the show, she expressed, “Being part of this show has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life — the friendships, the drama, the giggles, all unforgettable.”

“You’ve seen me grow up over these last 7 summers. I’ll always be beyond grateful for the memories, the community, and the opportunities this wild ride has brought me. But like all good things (and some bad decisions), it’s time for this chapter to close,” the fashion influencer added.

“To my castmates, the fans, and my NBCU family: thank you,” she continued. “I never could’ve imagined what this journey would turn into — and how many of you would be along for the ride. And you haven’t seen the last of me, I promise. So much more to do together, but for now you know you can always find me and Daphne in my bed.”

DeSorbo Was Nervous About Joining ‘Summer House’ In 2019

In an earlier interview with PEOPLE, DeSorbo discussed the many emotions she experienced when deciding whether to join the cast of “Summer House” during its third season in 2019.

According to her, through tears, she called her dad, who encouraged her to dip her toes into the reality TV waters for one year before fully committing to the on-camera lifestyle. “And that’s what put me in the mindset to actually film the first season. And then by the second weekend, I was like, ‘I love it,'” she said.

Fast forward six years, and with seven seasons under her belt, the reality star told Us Weekly she had been contemplating her next career move.

“Reality TV, I wasn’t trying to be on it. I’m not trying to be off it or on it,” she revealed. “I think when it fits in your life, it fits in your life. I’ve been really thankful for ‘Summer House’ because filming is so different than other people’s. We really get away with a lot, it’s just weekends.”

Fans React To DeSorbo’s Shocking Exit

Once @QueensofBravo shared the news of DeSorbo’s shocking exit on their Instagram, many loyal Bravoverse members weighed in to share their opinions about her decision.

“‘Summer House’ will never recover,” a user commented. “Anyway. I’ll be grieving in my [Daphne] set.”

A second user clearly agreed, adding, “I’m emotional, but can’t wait to see her keep thriving.”

Several other users mentioned wanting to see more of DeSorbo, advocating for her own spin-off show. “Paige SPIN OFF,” someone posted. “Give the people what they want.”

Another user offered a different take on DeSorbo’s announcement, though, suggesting a complete cast overhaul and replacing them with “younger people who want to party and have fun.”

“Trying to still do this at ages when you’re marrying and considering families is too much and not fun for the viewers,” they finished.
