This is what nobody knows,” Zarin begins. “This is really the truth: One night… I think I took a sleeping pill and I typed out an email to my [‘Real Housewives’] producer and three out of the five housewives. I said, ‘I’m leaving the show. I want to leave on a high. I’m in a good place right now.'”
She didn’t include the network, Bravo, on the email. “I kind of got cold feet the next day, and I said, ‘Ah, that was stupid, I shouldn’t have sent that email out,'” she says. “So, when I got the phone call from my production company, I knew.”
