Sanya Richards-Ross is leaving The Real Housewives of Atlanta after two seasons on the Bravo reality series. Andy Cohen confirmed Richards-Ross’s exit on his SiriusXM show that aired on March 14.

The track and field Olympic champion joined the show in Season 14 and held a peach through Season 15. Her exit comes amid a cast shakeup ahead of Season 16, which has also seen Kandi Burruss and Marlo Hampton leave the franchise.

Burruss announced she was leaving RHOA after 14 seasons citing the prolonged hiatus the show took between seasons gave her time to rethink her future on the show. “I’ve been going back and forth and I think because they gave us such a long break, I had a lot of time to do other things and I’ve got some big announcements to make coming soon, so yeah,” she told ET on the red carpet. “I mean, I love the girls, they’re my friends, I’m still gonna see them and hang out with them.

And Bravo is my family, I love them as well, but you know.” Hampton has been part of the Atlanta-based show since Season 4 but was made an official housewife the same year Richards-Ross joined the franchise.
