Mellencamp Arroyave replied, “You’ll have to see.”
Richards then explained that it “took some convincing, but whatever.”
“Lots of convincing,” Mellencamp Arroyave added. “But I was there. I don’t know if I’m really allowed to say that, sorry!”
While Richards admitted that she “obviously” misses working with Mellencamp Arroyave, she noted that they’re “together all the time” regardless.

“Of course when I got the news I was sad,” she continued. “It feels like a breakup, almost, because you develop such strong relationships with the cast, with the crew. And you get to do incredible things that you probably never get to experience without the show. That being said, I’m really looking forward to the future and being able to focus on my family, my friends, all in. I really feel like I have some exciting things ahead.”
Mellencamp Arroyave thenrevealed on her podcast the following monththat she learned through the media that her contract with Bravo had ended.
“I think for the last couple of months, I was preparing myself. I filmed so many amazing things that were never shown on the show … it should have been the writing on the wall,” she said during the October episode. “All the things that make me a likable, redeeming human being were not shown on the season. So if you only see a certain part of somebody, it’s really hard to connect with them.”
