In a surprising announcement, Danielle Olivera has revealed that she will not be returning as a full-time cast member for the upcoming ninth season of the hit Bravo reality series, "Summer House." Olivera, who has been a part of the show for seven years, shared her decision in an emotional statement on Instagram.

The 35-year-old Bravolebrity expressed that her choice was not made lightly and required a great deal of contemplation. In her statement, she explained that she needed to trust her gut instincts and acknowledged that she wouldn't be able to give 100% of herself to filming in a genuine and authentic manner.

Olivera, who is also the founder and CEO of the Donne fashion app, further added that she needed to prioritize the things that mattered most to her at this point in her life - her company, her loved ones, and herself. She thanked NBCUniversal, Bravo, and Truly Original for understanding and supporting her decision.

Having joined "Summer House" as a full-time cast member in Season 2 back in 2018, Olivera emphasized that she had previously taken a step back during Season 4, which turned out to be a positive experience for her. She also hinted that fans might still see her in some capacity, assuring them that she would be cheering on her "Summer House fam" for another incredible season.

Olivera's departure comes after an eventful Season 8, where she and her best friend Lindsay Hubbard faced a major falling out.

In an interview with Page Six, Olivera discussed the challenges of living together in a shared weekend house, suggesting that they may need time apart.
