After three seasons on the hit show Real Housewives of New York City, Heather Thomson, 45, decides to call it quits.

Sounds like the reality star wants to spend more time on her women’s shapewear company and spending time with her family instead of getting caught up in unnecessary drama with her co-stars on the show.

Thomson’s role on the show has evolved over the years and she doesn’t see the advantages of staying any longer. “The cons of doing the show far outweigh the pros at this point, and what the show has become don’t fit what she wants to be doing,” the source reportedly adds. “She did it to promote her business and it devolved into ridiculous fights over the ridiculous antics of some unstable women.”

Although she initially joined the show to promote her business and then to be with her best friend, Carole Radziwill, she ended up continuously fighting with Bethenny Frankel and Sonja Morgan. The insider states, “It is no longer a good fit with where she sees her life going so she is making the choice to walk away.”
