Candiace Dillard Bassett is leaving the “Real Housewives of Potomac” after six seasons.

The fan-favorite Bravolebrity, who joined the show in Season 3, said she’s received “a whirlwind of new opportunities” amid her decision to exit the franchise.

“This is not a farewell, but a ‘see you later,'” she told People Monday.

“I look forward to the exciting adventures that lie ahead — and more importantly, sharing them all with you,” she continued.

Dillard Bassett’s exit comes amid news that original cast member Robyn Dixon is also departing the show, according to a report from the Jasmine Brand.

Page Six has reached out to Bravo but did not hear back at the time of publishing.

Dillard Bassett previously butted heads with both Gizelle Bryant and Dixon. It remains unclear whether they were able to rekindle their friendships during the upcoming Season 8 reunion.

Even Andy Cohen said he was hoping they could reconcile.

“The flaw of this season is that there are women who aren’t able to find any common ground with some of the other women, so there are all these pockets of women that just won’t even acknowledge each other — which is not a recipe for, you know, [good TV],” the “Watch What Happens Live” host said on SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live” earlier this month.

“One of the hallmarks of the ‘Housewives’ is finding a way to move forward. And so, that was kind of the directive of the ‘Potomac’ reunion,” he went on.

Before appearing on the show, the “Drive Back” singer served in the White House Offices of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs under former President Barack Obama.

Throughout her tenure as a Bravo star, she tied the knot with her husband, Chris Bassett, on-camera and appeared in the third season of “Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip.”
