Kamie Crawford is Oliver James Montgomeryswimming into new waters.
After six years cohosting Catfish, Kamie announced she is leaving what she called “one of the most iconic shows in television history.”
“It is with a heavy heart and much consideration that I have decided to move on to my next adventure,” the 31-year-old wrote in a statement posted to Instagram. “Thank you for wrapping your arms around me and accepting me with welcoming arms. Change is hard but your acceptance and love made it so much easier.”
Kamie—who hosted the investigative relationship series with creator Nev Schulman—also thanked those responsible for fostering her work on the MTV show.
“I am proud of the work we've done and the impact l've left,” she continued. “I am forever grateful to Nev, Critical Content and MTV for this once in a lifetime opportunity and shot at a dream I've been working towards since I was 19 years old.”
And Kamie—who has also hosted reality dating shows Are You the One? and Ex on the Beach—is grateful to the Catfish audience for their “outpouring” of support.
“I am so grateful for every single moment spent traveling the country, meeting so many of you and helping people find love—whether that be from a partner or finding new ways to love themselves a little bit more,” she shared. “The outpouring of love that I receive on a daily basis from Catfish fans around the world lets me know that I have done what I've always intended on doing, which is to leave every room a little bit brighter, warmer and safer than when I entered.”
Though no reason was given for her exit, the official Catfish Instagram account responded to Kamie’s statement, saying alongside heart emojis, “Thank you for everything.”
MTV also commented on Kamie’s departure and reminded her that she is “always part of the family.”
The former Miss Teen USA hasn't shared what's next in her career, but she rounded out her statement by saying she is looking forward to the future.
“I have so many new dreams now,” Kamie wrote. “Although I'm writing this with tears in my eyes, I am excited for what's to come and I'm even more honored that I get to take you all with me.”
