Mary Bonnet has confirmed her departure from Selling Sunset, saying she made the decision to leave because she wasn't happy with the "direction" the reality show was going in.

The 45-year-old has been an important cast member of the Netflix show that follows the real estate agents at The Oppenheim Group in Los Angeles since the first season in 2019.

It was reported earlier this year that Mary was one of the faces who wouldn't be returning for season 10 of the show - alongside Emma Hernan, Chelsea Lazkani and Sandra Vergara, according to TMZ - and now she's confirmed the sad news.

Explaining the decision to People, Mary said: "At the end of season 9, you can see that I'm not, I'm not okay with the direction that the office is going, that the show is going.

"I signed up for the show, I thought it was gonna be woman empowerment. I thought it was going to be a very positive thing for women and for the real estate industry and I think it's kind of taken a turn from that."

Mary added that another reason she's decided to leave is because of the "extremely unfair" editing of season 9, which she said made her look like she "was just overreacting the whole season".

She sighed: "There was so much taken of our context it painted a picture that I think is extremely damaging and I'm just not gonna be involved in that."

While Mary won't be involved in season 10, she did hint that she might make an appearance in a future series during the chat with People.

She also stressed that while she won't be in the show, she is still vice president of The Oppenheim Group.

She said: "My job is still the same, and the market is pretty slow right now. So that does give me a little bit of extra time to do work on some of these other projects that I'm excited about."

The exact cast for season 10 of Selling Sunset has yet to be confirmed by Netflix bosses.

However, in the wake of TMZ's report about the mass cull of cast members, both Chrishell Stause and sworn enemy Nicole Young confirmed they also won't be back for the next episodes.

Speaking to Bustle about her departure, Chrishell said: "I've gotten to a place where I don't need the show financially. I'm lucky to have other forms of employment, because it's no longer good for my mental health.

"I have no ill will toward the show. The show has given me so many opportunities, and I don't want to be bitter about it, even though I'm leaving not in the way that I would've loved."
