“As much as I have learned along the way with this franchise and fans, I was to reprioritize the things that mean the most to me: designing, giving back, supporting women and raising my family,” she continued. “I am truly grateful for the experience, the friendships and the fans that have been part of this RHONY chapter. Time to turn the page.”

Rebecca joined RHONY for season 15 last summer. In an interview from September 2024, Rebecca opened up about why she decided to appear on the Bravo series.
