Valerie went on Instagram to talk about how she felt about not being asked back to the show. "It really hurt my feelings. I know it's not supposed to, logically, I know that. It's business. Budget cuts, right?" she told her audience.
Referring to the episodes she shot in the summer of 2022, she talks about how difficult of a year it was for her and how the show saved her life.
