She just posted this on her Facebook page:

Thank you. If you don’t read beyond this point... you’ll at least know I’m grateful!

June 2012 was pivotal. That’s when I emailed Shawn Killinger with a wordy note about who I was, where I was from, my experience, and above all, my dream: I had looked and looked for months about how to get in the door at QVC, but hadn’t cracked the code. I asked her if she’d be willing to help. She immediately wrote back! Shawn gave me the name of QVC’s casting director, and it was just the spark I needed. After auditioning three times in five years, I made it!

This journey wasn’t just about a job. I had loved shopping at QVC for years because of the hosts. They were genuine, knowledgeable and entertaining! I always felt like, by shopping at the Q, I was part of something more meaningful. Now that I’ve had a chance to be on the other side, I know how true that is.

The desire to be with family and friends has always been great, but in recent months, that feeling has amplified. Arriving at this moment is bittersweet... but mostly sweet. I’m grateful for the last two-and-a-half years! How amazing that a girl from eastern Kentucky, raised in a hollow, could lay the sort of bricks in life that lead to Studio Park! I’ll take all of the good from this experience and apply it somehow in the future. That is TBD. For now, it’s about acknowledging that life is too short to not be where your heart is.

My last day is September 23rd. If you’d like to keep up with my DIY shenanigans after that, please follow @home_sweet_homaha on IG and @homesweethomaha on Twitter.

I thank you dearly for your faith, encouragement, kindness, and friendship.

*sigh*

Damn.

Three auditions in five years to get the job, and then she quits (or is quietly released) after two and a half years?

Something's not right, here.

Alex Butler - Gone
Cathy Pedrayes - Gone
Mary Nelson - Gone

Only Courtney Khondabi and Kristine Zell remain from this group. I barely see Kristine, but Courtney K is everywhere. She even hosts full shows by herself on QVC1. I could see her being the one they keep around.

I thought Mary had potential and Cathy was getting to be a decent host. Its weird to see someone leave a job that they've tried so hard to get over 5 years.

For whatever season, she was let so and not allowed to say why. The writing is clear.

Lol, not even...Alberti the clown is on more than anyone...and they're constantly re-airing his shows on q2 when it isn't live. I pretty much don't bother anymore because he's always on....I disliked Brett less...(and that's reaching, Brett was an instant channel changer lmao)
