 Amanda Frances, you will be missed.

The reality star announced she’s leaving “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” after only one season in a lengthy Instagram post Wednesday, sharing behind-the-scenes pics from filming and noting her time on the Bravo series was “complete.”

“Saying yes to this show was one of the boldest, wildest, most clarifying things I’ve ever done,” she reflected. “And I am genuinely grateful.”

“Grateful for the experience. The women. The viewers who saw me, rooted for me, challenged me, quoted me, misunderstood me, defended me, found my work, bought my books, or simply watched me try to explain metaphysics in a room full of diamonds and side-eyes,” she continued.

Frances, 40, said she was leaving the show to focus on her “already-full life.”

The entrepreneur shared that she’s releasing her memoir, “Holy F–k,” on Aug. 18, as well as planning a larger wedding celebration with her husband, Eddie Tsivislavsky, after they legally tied the knot in a private courthouse ceremony last September.

The couple shares son Canaan and daughter Delilah, and she’s also a stepmom to the Tsivislavsky’s two kids from his previous marriage: son Liam and daughter Shoshana.

Frances wrote, “I am mama-ing my babies. I am creating, teaching, building, and continuing the work I have done for over 15 years: Making sure women that they can have it f–king all.”

“And while this show gave me an incredible platform — A platform is not the same thing as a foundation,” she explained. “And of the greatest gifts of the experience was seeing just how strong my foundation actually is.”

Frances thanked the long-running reality series, which first premiered in 2010.

“I am taking the clarity, the lessons, the plot twists, the spiritual warfare, and the occasional deeply unnecessary dinner party drama into all that God has for me next,” she wrote.

She concluded with an encouraging message to her viewers.

“Your next move does not require anyone’s approval,” she stressed. “Your evolution does not need a permission slip. And you can be grateful for an opportunity and know when it’s time to leave.”

“And obviously… Say it with me: I win in the end. 🤍.”

Frances starred in Season 15 of “RHOBH” alongside Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke, Bozoma Saint John and Rachel Zoe.

She had a rocky rookie season this past year — including having her online manifestation business be questioned by multiple cast members, defending once being part of a cult and clashing with castmate Kemsley on numerous occasions.

Back in May, she shared a screenshot on Threads of Rihanna direct messaging her on Instagram amid rumors that she wasn’t returning for Season 16.

The message from the “Umbrella” singer read, “No, no, NOPE!!! No quitting!!!! You’re gonna have your redemption I promise you!!! We need more of you!”

Frances responded at the time, “Wait… if Rihanna says I have to do a second season, then do i have to do a second season? Ummm… if The Queen says?!”

We hope Rihanna is taking the news well.
