"After a wild season of ups and downs, I will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Orange County," she said in her statement on Friday, July 8 about her exit. "Thank you to all of the fans for all of the love and support during quite possibly the hardest year of my life. I am looking forward to brighter skies ahead, and can’t wait to share what’s next."

Noella first joined the cast in the most recent Season 16 and during her time on the show, viewers followed her journey, which included her tensions within the group (especially with Heather Dubrow), dealing with the loss of her father, her issues in her marriage, and her eventually finding love again after her divorce, which she confirmed at the Season 16 reunion, more on that below (it should be noted, she has since confirmed her split from Bobby).
