“With a heart full of gratitude, I’ve made a major life decision, to leave a job that I love, to focus on the most important job of my life, being a Mom! It is bittersweet. I’m so proud to have worked alongside an incredible group of Hosts and Teammates, who are all so wildly passionate and talented. But most of all, I’m so thankful for the privilege of shopping with our viewers in their homes every night. Thank you @qvc fam for this wonderful journey! I will see you soon!”
Stacey has also appeared as a reporter and host on FOX5’s Morning News, Good Day DC, and ABC7’s Good Morning Washington.
The 37-year-old will star on season 9 of RHOP alongside returning cast members Karen Huger, Gizelle Bryant, Mia Thornton, Ashley Darby, Wendy Osefo.
The season 9 cast will be rounded out by Keiarna Stewart, who is reprotedly being upgraded from a friend to a full-time Housewife.
Bravo recently shook things up in Potomac by firing OG castmember Robyn Dixon. Candiace Dillard also exited the series ahead of season 9.
It seems that season 8 newbie Nneka Ihim has also been fired but neither Nneka nor the network have made that announcement just yet.
The Real Housewives of Potomac is expected to return for season 9 in early 2025.
