Mia Thorton of The Real Housewives of Potomac is trading the DMV for ATL, announcing her departure from the hit Bravo series Monday (April 21).
The reality star, 40, took to Instagram to reveal the news, posting a lengthy caption beside a snap of her holding up a newspaper that reads, “Mia Thorton Moves To Atlanta.”
“With every new season comes a new beginning and I have some news to share. My family and I have made the decision to relocate to Atlanta, and with that, I will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Potomac next season.”
She goes on, “The past four seasons have been an unforgettable journey one filled with growth, lessons, and so many incredible memories. I want to thank Truly Original, Bravo, NBCUniversal, and Andy Cohen for believing in me and giving me the space to share my story. To my castmates: thank you for the laughs, the lessons, and the unforgettable moments. And to the amazing fans, your love and support has meant everything to me. I’ll always carry that with me.”
Thorton joined the show during RHOP’s sixth season in 2021, and has appeared on four seasons total. Her final appearance on the show found Mia storming out of the Season 9 reunion and refusing to return when called a “terrible mother” by castmate Gizelle Bryant.
Mia continued of her departure, “This next chapter is already full of exciting opportunities, and I can’t wait to take you all along for the ride. Big things are coming…I don’t just make headlines — I make History. Atlanta, brace yourself. The empire has expanded. #LegacyInTheMaking.”
The news comes just one month after Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais announced her own departure from the West Coast franchise. Check that out below.
