Monique told radio listeners Monday that the rumors of her departure were true.

"Chris and I were planning to be a part of the season," said Monique while recapping the recent headlines surrounding her family. "The main reason we didn't start filming was because of contract issues. We never even started filming."

"Yes, it is true, Chris and I will not be returning," she added. "I think at this point we're just done with reality TV."

The host also said that she won't be "devalued" and added that the [reality TV] paperwork has to be "straight" but this time it was "crooked."

Before ending her announcement, Monique also made a point to note that there's no bad blood between her and Love & Marriage D.C. creator Carlos King.

"I saw Carlos King at Porsha's wedding," said Monique. "There are no hard feelings."

King has not spoken on Monique confirming her #LAMDC exit.
