Following the debut of the teaser, Moore and Whitfield released statements to The Daily Dish , via Bravo TV , confirming they would no longer be seen on the reality series. However, while Moore was rumored to have been fired from the show, she claimed in her statement that it was actually her decision to leave the show and focus on her pregnancy.

As some have heard, rumors regarding a potential spinoff series for Moore have been swirling for the past several months, per All About the Real Housewives .
