MEGHAN KING EDMONDS is hanging up her “Housewives” hat.

On Tuesday, the “Real Housewives of Orange County” star announced that she’s stepping away from the Bravo show after three seasons, explaining her “bittersweet” decision in a lengthy blog post.

“I arrived at this multi-faceted decision after much thought, and then I thought some more,” she said. “As you might suspect filming this show takes a massive emotional toll: I’m literally filming my real life in real time and engaged in situations and circumstances which can be contentious. Then, when the show airs, we relive some trying of the most trying moments in our lives and then endure the public’s reaction; we never come out as winners to every viewer.”

Edmonds, 33, also said the show took a “physical toll” on her as she underwent IVF treatments in season 11, and experienced the busy life of a new mom after welcoming daughter Aspen King Edmonds in season 12.

Edmonds is “sad” to leave her Bravo family, but she said Andy Cohen and the entire production team have been “nothing but understanding and supportive of me and my decisions every step of the way.” (SD-Agencies)
