Olivera cited her reason for stepping away from the show as her "need to protect and prioritize the things that matter most to me - my company, my people, and of course myself."
"Ultimately, I just need to trust my gut," Olivera stated in her Instagram post. "If I can't put 100% of myself into filming, genuinely and authentically, it really doesn't feel right doing it in a full time capacity."
