Mary’s decision to leave the franchise was confirmed by Page Six who was told by a source: “Mary will not be back. She did not enjoy her time on the show or form any strong bonds with the ladies.”
The spiritual leader starred on the series during both of it’s two seasons in production.
While she has yet to publicly address her departure, Mary did share a telling Instagram post earlier this week thanking fans for their “support,” alongside a photo of her at the season one reunion special.
The TV star opted to ditch the taping for the season two reunion, leaving fans to question if her time on the show was coming to an end.
The Sun exclusively shared that multiple sources confirmed Mary, 49, was missing from the reunion and completely bailed despite the production team expecting her attendance.
The insider revealed: “She definitely didn’t go. Production planned on Mary being there.

“Andy [Cohen] had a very long list of questions for her, but she bailed. She’s been MIA so no one knows why, but with the backlash and scandals going on involving her, it’s not too hard to figure out.”
The insider speculated: “Yes, this pretty much secures the chance that Mary will be fired from the show.
“You don’t pull moves like this, we’ve seen what happens when people do and she was already in hot water.”
After production wrapped for season three later that month, PEOPLE reported that the TV star had “not filmed anything,” escalating chatter about her fait on the series.
Her co-star Meredith Marks also boosted speculation when she mentioned Mary on Sunday night’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, saying she was “no longer on the show.”
‘RACIST’ REMARKS
Last month, an insider claimed her reasoning for bailing on the reunion was she “did not want to confront the controversy surrounding her this season.”
The reality star was already in deep with the network after she was accused of running an alleged cult by her former Faith temple members, and for making “racist” remarks towards two of her co-stars.
In lieu of her reunion absence, a source told Page Six: “She was terrified of getting grilled about her ‘racist’ comments made toward Jennie [Nguyen] and Jen [Shah].
“She also did not want to discuss the accusations that she runs a cult.”
Her no-show means she could be fired from the Bravo series.
The source added: “Skipping out on the reunion is a big no-no for ‘Housewives.”
“This was the kiss of death for Mary. She hardly has any alliances left in the cast, who hoped she would have shown up to the reunion to take accountability for her behavior and the allegations about her church.”
During the January 2 episode when Mary first came under fire for her comments, Jennie, 44, confronted her co-star explaining: “You’re an adult, take some responsibility. Right now, there is a lot of Asian hate. Take responsibility for your words.”
Mary eventually apologized and said: “I will never walk down that road. I apologize.”
JENNIE’S OUT
Meanwhile, Bravo announced that they released Jennie from her contract last month after her past “racist” remarks resurfaced.
The network took to their official Instagram to reveal: “Bravo has ceased filming with Jennie Nguyen and she will no longer be a cast member of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.”
The statement continued: “We recognize we failed to take appropriate action once her social media posts were brought to our attention.
“Moving forward, we will work to improve our processes to ensure we make better informed and more thoughtful cast decisions.”
Following her firing, Jennie was quick to share an apology to her fans on social media.
“I want to acknowledge and apologize for my deleted Facebook posts from 2020 that resurfaced today,” she began.
“At the time, I thought I was speaking out against violence, but I have since learned how offensive and hurtful my words were.”
The now former RHOSLC star continued: “It’s why I deactivated that account more than a year ago and why I continue to try to learn about perspectives different from my own.
“I regret those posts and am sincerely sorry for the pain they caused.”
