The doctor became a one-season wonder when Bravo kicked her to the curb ahead of season 17 of RHOC. She recently chatted with David Yontef on his [Behind the Velvet Rope](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dr-jen-armstrong-on-the-truth-about-her-rhoc-exit/id1496557812?i=1000570291082)* *podcast, where she dished about her RHOC exit as well as her time on the show. *"Probably the first feeling was relief. Cause it's just like, I mean, I think they're starting to film like now. Surprisingly, the COVID people actually reached out to me to test today to start filming. I think that this may have been more of a last-minute decision,"* Jen said of not being asked back for season 17. *"I couldn't even imagine starting to film right now. I just moved into a new house,"* she continued. *"Relief was my first feeling. And then, of course, you're sad, right?"* she admitted.* "Because it's exciting, you do new things, and you're like nobody wants to be dumped, right. You want to do the dumping."* Jen claims she was in talks to return as a friend of the Housewives, noting that she didn't believe she could balance her career and being a full-time cast member. *"I was going to have that conversation with the producer and talk about being, coming back as a friend role because I don't know if I could keep up that much production again for another year,"* she explained. *“Filming five days a week and working five days a week, it was a lot."* She adds that she didn't love the editing of her on the show. As for fellow newbie,  Noella Bergener, who also got fired, Jen said that she *"sucked the oxygen out of the room."* Jen also claims that Noella was often *"acting"* during scenes to spice things up. *"I found it exhausting. And then I think we all just gave up at the end,"* she said. When it comes to Tamra Judge's rumored return, Jen said: *"It was hard to watch Tamra; I don't like that behavior. I don't even know what I would do if I was like cast with her."* RHOC is set to return for season 17 in late 2022 or early 2023. ## Thoughts on this all?
