“I have a little life update for you: I’ve made the decision not to return to Summer House,” fashion influencer announced via her Instagram Stories on June 5. “Being part of this show has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life — the friendships, the drama, the giggles, all unforgettable.
“You’ve seen me grow up over these last 7 summers,” she continued. “I’ll always be beyond grateful for the memories, the community, and the opportunities this wild ride has brought me. But like all good things (and some bad decisions), it’s time for this chapter to close.”

She went to thank her costars, fans and “my NBCU family.” She added, “I never could’ve imagined what this journey would turn into — and how many of you would be along for the ride. And you haven’t seen the last of me, I promise. So much more to do together, but for now you know you can always find me and Daphne in my bed.”
Wood announced her exit from the series just one day after DeSorbo shared her news.
Wood, 26, announced that she was leaving the series after one season on June 6.

“Well… That wasn’t the summer I signed up for but it definitely taught me a lot,” the model shared on her Instagram Stories. “I stood up for women and for what’s right. Even when it wasn’t easy and I’d do that again in a heartbeat.”
“I’m leaving Summer House with no regrets (well… maybe one 😉),” she continued, referring to her ex and former castmate Jesse Solomon. “I’m proud of the way I handled myself, proud of what I walked away from, and even prouder of what I’m walking toward. Big things are coming! Stay tuned! 💋✨”
