Following Hannah Berner‘s exit from Summer House after Season 5, fans wonder if she was fired or decided to leave the show. Berner played a major role in the Bravo series since Season 3 and up until Season 5. However, she had issues with many of her castmates and has become a controversial figure.
So did Hannah Berner leave Summer House or was she fired? Why did Hannah Berner quit Summer House? Here’s your answer.
Was Hannah Berner fired from Summer House or did she leave?
Hannah Berner left Summer House after Season 5.
However, Kate Chastain believed that Hannah Berner got fired. She put up a cryptic tweet on X (formerly Twitter). It reads, “Tell me you’re fired without telling me you’re fired #summerhouse.” This was on the same day Berner had addressed her exit from the show on Instagram. Thus, fans think Chastain’s tweet was likely an indirect jibe at Berner.
Berner established a negative reputation on the show. Previously, she made some inappropriate comments about Luke Gulbranson’s mental health issues on the Puddles with Andrew Collin podcast in 2020, according to People.
Furthermore, Carl Radke called her out for accusing him of taking drugs. Radke clarified on the Everything with Danny Pellegrino podcast, as per Reality Tea. However, Berner took to Instagram later to apologize for her insensitive comments about mental health.
Additionally, Berner was dropped by her sponsors Better Help after they caught wind of her insensitive remarks regarding mental health. According to Confessional News, this was reported by X user Sophie Ross.
Why did Hannah Berner quit Summer House?
Hannah Berner quit Summer House to focus on new career ventures. This included her career as a stand-up comedian.
The former Summer House cast member addressed this on a May 15, 2021, Instagram post where she also expressed gratitude to the show for giving her a platform and said it changed her life.
However, Berner also addressed another reason for her exit in a People interview in November 2021. That reason was to work on her relationship with her then-fiancé and now-husband Des Bishop.
She said, “I feel like reality TV gave me this limelight that I loved, but it took away the privacy that I didn’t know was important to me until I got into a relationship that I cared about.” “I realized that I have to protect certain things in my life and I had to basically let go of this fabulous reality TV lifestyle for love,” she concluded.
