While recording the “Two Ts In A Pod” episode, Judge shared that Singer messaged her about not starring in the RHONY spinoff.
“I am not happy that Ramona’s not on it. I feel like Ramona is ‘New York.’ And you know, she actually texted me, and told me life is so easy and simple now and she’s really loving life without the cameras,” said the 55-year-old.
Judge noted she understood Singer’s point of view because she had similar feelings after she left RHOC following season 14.
“I can see that. I felt like that for a long time,” shared the Vena CBD founder.
Arroyave chimed in that she was “fine taking a little break from Ramona.”

“I know this is like an oxymoron, but I really don’t like being recognized. All of the sudden people aren’t bugging me, ‘oh my gosh, I know you are on a date. Can I have a photo?’ I just – I don’t like all the attention. And guess what the men I date don’t like all the attention,” shared Singer.
The mother of one also noted she was upset about the press she has received as a Bravo personality.
“I really don’t like the press, the press stresses me out with all that stuff. That was really, really very hurtful and made me very unhinged,” said Singer.

According to Deadline, Bravo producer Andy Cohen spoke about Singer not joining “RHONY Legacy” while recording a November 2022 episode of his SiriusXM program “Andy Cohen Live.” He noted that fans expressed they were unhappy with the New York native’s departure from Bravo on social media.
“We didn’t talk about Ramona who announced she is not coming back to ‘RHONY Legacy.’ I think people saw that coming,” said the “Watch What Happens Live” host. “It’s interesting, one of those hilarious things of the internet, which is, every time it was mentioned, it was ‘Please, no Ramona.’ You go on Twitter, ‘No Ramona!’ The second Ramona announces she’s leaving, ‘No, Ramona’s a legend!’”
He went on to say he believes “Ramona gave us an incredible, incredible, incredible years of television.”
“I had a great conversation with her about this a few weeks ago and she was… I think she’s very bullish on what she has going on in her life right now. I will say — let me say that. I’m going to leave it there,” said Cohen.
