Lizzy further strengthened the rumors when she posted a cryptic message on her Instagram story. "When you accept that you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be in this moment and that you have all that you need, miracles happen.” The fashion influencer's decision to remove 'RHONY' from her Instagram bio and later unfollow Bravo, her co-stars Brynn Whitfield and Sai De Silva, left everybody convinced that Lizzy was fired, although there are reports of Lizzie allegedly quitting over experiencing "anti-semitism" backlash since she was announced as the new housewife on 'RHONY' Reboot.
