On Sep. 30, 2021, Porsha revealed that she was ready to exit The Real Housewives of Atlanta. She made it clear that she was no longer interested in being a cast member from that point.
On Instagram, she wrote, "After ten life-changing, gratifying, incredible years, it is finally time to begin my next chapter. Next season, I will not be returning to the Real Housewives of Atlanta franchise. This was a difficult decision to not only make but also come to terms with. It's one I have put a lot of thought into and because of that, I know it's the right one."

She ended the caption by saying, "Don't worry though, I’ll be back on your TV very soon. I can’t wait to share all of my exciting endeavors with the world — beginning with the release of my memoir, The Pursuit of Porsha, out on Nov. 16. As for the rest, you’ll have to just wait and see! Love ya!”
After Porsha shared her update, Andy Cohen responded by saying that he hoped that she would one day come back to the program.
"What a run. What an evolution," Andy wrote in a comment on Porsha's Instagram post. "As we discussed, I'm gonna go ahead and consider this more of a PAUSE than a goodbye."
