Bethenny Frankel is departing "The Real Housewives of New York City" ahead of the show's 12th season.
"I am so grateful to you for sticking with me through everything. You started this journey with me in my tiny apartment in my late 30s, wondering what would happen to me," she said alongside an early image of herself taken from the series.
" I was broke, single had no family and no idea what the future held."
"I had big dreams and I never stopped, but I honestly didn't know if I would ever get here," Frankel continued before thanking fans for always giving their honest opinions about her life and career.
"I am fortunate to have created a business and career that some people only dream of. I had a beautiful baby girl who is now 9-years-old and she has changed me as a human being," she said."I was able to give back and help people all over the world who have been hit with the worst unforeseen circumstances, which we will all continue together."
Frankel also discussed how fans should strive to achieve their goals.
Frankel joined "The Real Housewives of New York City" in 2008 and departed in 2010 before returning in 2015.
The show chronicled the reality star's life including the death of her on-again, off-again boyfriend Dennis Shields.
