Real Housewives Of Dallas star Tiffany Moon is not leaving the Bravo reality series after castmates Kameron and Court Westcott’s racist attacks despite a change in her Instagram profile saying otherwise.
The 36-year-old reality television star is staying put after her first season on the show even though she changed her social media on Friday to ‘Previous cast member of RHOD.’
‘The rumors of her leaving the show are not true,’ her publicist told Entertainment Tonight, shutting down fan speculation that she called it quits.

The doctor also fueled the rumor mill with a photo added to her Twitter account including the caption: ‘Good morning everyone. It’s time for a change. Have a wonderful day!’
She then shared a black and white snap on Instagram with the equally cryptic message: ‘Do not let the darkness of others dim your light.’
However, the mother-of-two changed her profile back to reading ‘Season 5 Cast Member RHOD’ hours later, leaving fans confused.
Bravo has yet to comment on the matter, but the back-and-forth came days after the show’s fifth season reunion finished airing.

The two-part special saw things get heated between Tiffany and her costar Kameron Westcott, 38.
Their pointed exchanges included accusations of racism on both sides.
Kameron’s family has also been accused of tweeting, and in some cases deleting, offensive comments directly aimed the anesthesiologist.
One removed message that sparked a large response online claimed that anti-racism was a form of racism.

Tiffany responded to the comments with a lengthy statement from her lawyer: ‘The insinuations the Westcotts made in those tweets are reckless, defamatory and appalling.’
‘Dr. Moon is a professional in every sense of the word and is deserving of the excellent reputation that she’s earned as a physician and as a hard working mother,’ Andrew B. Brettler of Lavely & Singer told ET.
‘These attacks on her character will not be tolerated. The Westcotts would be well advised to keep mentions of Dr. Moon out of their social media feeds.’
Meanwhile, Bravo has come to Tiffany’s defense in the matter, posting a statement on their Instagram account on Friday.

‘Bravo strongly supports the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. Anti-racism is, in fact, not a form of racism and the network stands by Dr. Tiffany Moon and her advocacy against racism and violence,’ read the message, which was also shared on the channel’s Stories.
The latest developments come after original cast member Brandi Redmond announced that she was leaving the series following a controversial video she posted in 2017 that seemingly mocked the Asian community.
She broke the news on Instagram in February after facing endless backlash for the resurfaced clip.
Her costar Stephanie Hollman told the outlet that same month that she thought the incident would be the final straw for Brandi.

‘I was surprised she came back this year at some points because she struggled with it. Like, “Do I come back? Do I walk away?” It’s a hard thing, I think, for her to put out there, and she knew it would bring up a lot of things and it was a tough decision for her to make to come back,’ she said.
‘I don’t know if she’s always glad she did, but I think she’s glad she stared it in the face and was at least able to apologize to the audience and people she offended,’ Stephanie added.
As for Tiffany, she previously told People that she had yet to decide if she would sign on for a second season of the hit program.
‘Something would have to change… I cannot do the show if everything is exactly the same as it was this year. I am still working four days a week. My children are now a little bit more demanding than they were when they were younger. Something’s gonna have to give. Like, I only have 24 hours in a day,’ she explained.
