This Is Exactly Why Danielle Olivera Decided Not to Return to 'Summer House' Season 9

Looks like Summer House is mixing things up for Season 9! While Bravo hasn't revealed official cast details yet, long-time Summer House star Danielle Olivera hopped on Instagram to announce that she's done with the show. Ish. As the reality star put it, she's come to a a "heartbreaking decision to not return as a full time house member," which kinda implies she could show up as a guest? But TBD.

"Ultimately, I just need to trust my gut," Danielle wrote in a note to her followers on Instagram. "If I can’t put 100% of myself into filming, genuinely and authentically, it really doesn’t feel right doing it in a full time capacity. The network, production, my cast, and especially all of you deserve that."

So, why is Danielle unable to "put 100 percent" of herself into filming Summer House right now? She's busy focusing on her company, not to mention herself. And after several dramatic summers played out on camera for the world to watch/judge, kinda makes sense.

"Right now I need to protect and prioritize the things that matter most to me—my company, my people, and of course myself," the reality star explained, going on to thank Bravo. But!!! She then added "however I'm involved this summer, you can bet I'm rooting for another incredible season from my Summer House fam," which, again, kinda implies that we could see her pop in as a ~friend~ for a party or two. Stay tuned!
