“This wasn’t something I took lightly,” she toldThe Orange County Registerin 2008. “We talked this through. This took me weeks to try to figure out. It wasn’t a rash decision.Once I bailed [my son] Josh out of jail, I just really needed my privacy. It needed to be as much a private matter as possible.”
Peterson added that it “was not [her] intention at all” to leave the show after season 4.
Bravo has yet to recruit aHousewiveskid to become a full-time cast member.
