“The Real Housewives of New York City will always be one of the most fun, chaotic, and magical chapters of my life. It was the honor of a lifetime to help reboot such an iconic franchise,” she wrote. “From day one, I’ve believed RHONY is a fan’s show we’re just temporary custodians of something that truly belongs to the viewers. I hope I made you laugh (a lot), cry (a little), and more than anything – I hope there’s a TV in heaven so that Mimi (who LIVED for her shows) could watch me and be proud. To every person who gave me a chance, cheered me on, and afforded me love and grace-thank you. I’m endlessly grateful.”

Brynn Hoppy teases her upcoming book release

“And prepare to laugh, cry, and possibly poop when you read my book coming out later this year. To date, I’ve only shared a fraction of who I am, what I’ve been through and what I’ve learned. It’s the most vulnerable thing I’ve ever written,” she previewed about the book release in her statement.

She closed out her statement as such: “As Sheryl Sandberg said: ‘If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat. Just get on.’ So here we  go… We’re done dating his dad. It’s time to steal his inheritance. Xoxo, Brynnie.”
