“I think Yolanda is a very warm, down-to-earth, wonderful woman. And I think right now she just needs to take a break,” Singer told Us Weekly. “She needs time for herself.”
“She went through a lot of health issues, a lot of relationship issues,” she continued . “And I think she just wants to spend time with herself and just take care of herself and her family.”
The Life on the Ramona Coaster author understands why Hadid would want to step away from the spotlight.
“I can understand that because the show is — it can be very all-encompassing and overwhelming,” Singer explained.
As we previously reported, Hadid announced on Wednesday, June 15, that she's leaving RHOBH. The former model, who has been battling Lyme disease for the last several years, shared the news via Instagram.
"I would have loved a more graceful exit then "Season 6" but sometimes we don't get to control the ending of the chapters in our life.............. I am leaving what's over without denying its past importance in my life. I believe that every exit is an new entry and with that in mind I say goodbye to my @Bravotv Family as I continue to focus on a my recovery, my children and bring back the privacy within our Home........... Thank you to all the fans for your love and unwavering support these past 4 years. I am grateful for the housewife experience and all it has thought me. I'am excited about this CHOICE and look forward to the next chapter of my life.................. #RHOBH," wrote Hadid.
