In early 2021, when the rumblings about a potential fourth season really picked up steam online and in the press, Lea discussed where things stood with production while appearing as a guest on Jeff Lewis Live.
"I haven't told anyone that I am interested or not interested," she said on the radio show, per People. "I haven't commented to anybody."
Though fans enjoyed seeing Lea Black run her charity, The Blacks' Annual Gala, and feature her unique Star Island home on the first three seasons of RHOM, the former reality star ultimately did not participate in the Peacock reboot.
While Lea has yet to explicitly share exactly why she is not involved in the show anymore, her bicoastal lifestyle could serve as one explanation.
Lea and her husband, Roy Black, are no longer based in Miami full-time. The spouses are, instead, spending several months of the year in the Los Angeles area, which means that filming Season 4 would have been a difficult feat.
