Tamera Mowry-Housley announced Monday that she’s leaving her talk show, The Real, after seven years. The actress turned host was an original cast member of the Emmy Award-winning daytime talk show.
Mowry-Housley noted that she was forced to prematurely make the announcement of her departure due to a potential leak. While she was mourning the sudden death of her friend, Naya Rivera, whose body was recovered after she was reported missing from a boating trip with her 4-year old-son, the information of her departure hit the internet.
“I had NO intention to talk about this today, especially in light of the news of my dear friend Naya, but now some reports are coming out and I’d rather you hear it from me first,” Mowry-Housley wrote in the caption for her Instagram post.

“For seven years, my home and heart has been at The Real,” she continued. “The friendships I’ve made there will last a lifetime, and the people that I’ve been blessed to interview have changed my life for the better.”
“I’m so proud of what all the ladies and I have accomplished there, including two well-deserved NAACP Image Awards and a Daytime Emmy,” Mowry-Housley added. “However, all good things must come to an end, and it’s with a bittersweet smile that I announce that I am moving on from The Real.”
