Mia Thornton has officially announced her departure from Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Potomac, citing a desire to prioritize her family and personal well-being.

A Season of Struggles and Reflection for Mia Thornton

In a heartfelt statement, Thornton shared, “After much reflection and consideration, I’ve decided to step back from The Real Housewives of Potomac to ensure that my family and I are in the best place possible. Family comes first, and this decision is about protecting my loved ones and taking the time to focus on what truly matters.”

Thornton’s decision follows a tumultuous season marked by personal challenges and public scrutiny. Notably, during the season 9 reunion, she exited the taping early after a heated exchange with co-star Gizelle Bryant, who accused her of being a “terrible mother.” This confrontation stemmed from a storyline involving Thornton questioning the paternity of her youngest son, despite a DNA test confirming the child’s father.
