“I’m choosing my daughter over drama” – Lindsay Hubbard confirms Summer House exit in emotional reveal as she steps away from reality TV chaos to embrace motherhood and a life beyond the cameras - suong

After seasons of being at the center of emotional firestorms, Lindsay Hubbard has officially confirmed that she will not be returning to Summer House for Season 10. During a candid conversation on Amazon Live, the reality TV star opened up about her decision to step away from the series — and it's not due to scandal or cast feuds, but simply because she's prioritizing what matters most in her new life: motherhood.

“It’s just not realistic to expect me to be a full-time mom while living in a chaotic shared house with cameras rolling every weekend,” Lindsay explained, her voice carrying both exhaustion and certainty. “I can’t split myself in half anymore.”

The decision comes just months after Lindsay welcomed her first child, baby Gemma, with boyfriend Turner Kufe. Although their romantic relationship is currently “on pause,” both Lindsay and Turner remain committed to co-parenting in a supportive, responsible way. Her exit from the show marks a significant shift in the public persona she’s built over nearly a decade — from a well-known “drama queen” to a strong, grounded mother fully reclaiming her narrative.

In the world of Bravo, where drama is the currency of relevance, the departure of a central figure like Lindsay leaves a noticeable void. But rather than turning her new role as a mother into reality TV content, Lindsay is choosing to keep it sacred — at least for now. That alone makes her decision even more noteworthy — not for what she’s walking away from, but for what she’s walking toward: a child, a peaceful home, and a life that’s finally real.

“No one gets to call me boring for staying home instead of partying. And if they do, so what? I’m living for someone bigger than myself,” Lindsay shared in a recent livestream, gently cradling her daughter with a soft, resolved smile.

While producers remain tight-lipped about the future of Summer House and its Season 10 cast, one thing is clear: Lindsay Hubbard will not be returning — at least not right now. And perhaps, for Lindsay, walking away from the spotlight is exactly how she’s finally stepping into the light.
