Another peach is saying goodbye.

Just three days after Cynthia Bailey announced she won't be returning to The Real Housewives of Atlanta after 11 seasons, longtime co-star Porsha Williams also just announced today she's departing the hit Bravo TV series after a decade ahead of season 14.

"After ten life-changing, gratifying, incredible years, it is finally time to begin my next chapter. Next season, I will not be returning to the Real Housewives of Atlanta franchise," Porsha shared via an Instagram statement on Thursday, Sept. 30. "This was a difficult decision to not only make, but also come to terms with. It's one I have put a lot of thought into and because of that, I know it's the right one.

"I want to thank Bravo, Truly Original, and Andy Cohen for this opportunity, and all the show's producers, editors, and assistants, for working tirelessly every day to create our show."

The Bravolebrity continued, "I have so much love and endless gratitude for my Bravo family and supporters. You've made the past decade a truly special one. One where I've dealt with unbelievable highs and unbelievable lows, and I can honestly say I would not have made it through some of them without the unconditional love and support I have gotten from all of you."
