Diana Jenkins may have hinted at her exit from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in a post shared to her Instagram page on Sunday, just two days after appearing virtually at the season 12 reunion amid claims of a COVID-19 diagnosis.
After a number of fans questioned Diana’s health after she failed to appear in person after being spotted at an aquarium with her daughter, the season 12 newbie spoke of “endings” on her Instagram page and waved to her fans and followers as Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge discussed the matter on their podcast.
“Sunsets are proof that endings can be beautiful too,” Diana wrote in the caption of her September 11 photo, also including a praying hands emoji, an orange heart emoji, and a waving emoji.
Following the sharing of the post, a number of fans and followers of Diana suspected her post was an indicator of the end of her run on RHOBH.
“Are you cryptically saying that you are not returning to RHOBH?” one person asked.
“Is that a subtle hint … orange heart and waving??? Are you leaving the show?” wondered another.
“Let’s hope the ending you’re talking about is your time on Housewives,” noted a third.
Others were excited about her potential exit, saying things like, “Don’t let the door hit you in the a– on the way out.” However, others weren’t sold on the idea that she was actually done with the show.
“A message about your departure?” someone wrote.
Meanwhile, on a recent episode of their podcast, Two T’s in a Pod, Teddi and Tamra agreed that a Diana return seems out of reach for season 13.
“If she’s not even bothering to show up to the reunion, whether she has COVID or not, like we can assume like in this world there’s a chance somebody isn’t feeling well, who knows, but she wants to end the show — I would assume she’s done,” Teddi said, via Heavy.
“I would suspect too,” Tamra agreed. “I mean she has not once been on Watch What Happens Live, she doesn’t do any press. She’s not on the After Shows.”
Teddi then asked, “Allegedly, if she hasn’t shown up to the reunion, even though she is zooming in, if she doesn’t have COVID, do you think she deserves to be fired like any other Housewife?”
“[I do] think they should be fired if they don’t show up to the reunion,” Tamra replied. “If you’re not showing up, you need to go.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12 airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
