It was rumored earlier this week that Brandi Glanville would be leaving Bravo’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ahead of the next season and she is now confirming it on her radio show.

It was reported that she was fired from the show due to not getting along with the rest of the cast-mates but she insisted it was her decision.

"After a lot of careful thought and deliberation, I have decided not to return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” she told her Brandi Glanville: Unfiltered listeners.

She added, “They've been awesome, and Bravo will always be my family. Like Andy [Cohen] said, ‘it's the Mafia. You never really get to leave us.’”

Glanville said she would be open to coming back in a smaller capacity, noting “they've been so great to me, and if I'm available and they need me, they know where to find me."

E! Online reports she also said in a statement that she’s working on another venture, which will “show everyone a more well-rounded side of who I really am."
