LeeAnne Locken did not return for The Real Housewives of Dallas season 5 after having a tough time appearing on the show. In 2020, LeeAnne Locken was called out by her co-stars and RHOD fans for making racially insensitive comments towards Kary Brittingham while on their trip to Thailand. She went off on Kary when she and Kameron Westcott left the other women who were watching a ping pong show, which normally takes place in a gentlemen's club.

After calling Kary a few insensitive comments, LeeAnne was ultimately fired from RHOD. She announced her departure from the show in February 2020. Even though LeeAnne was a RHOD staple, it was her time to go. However, now everyone wants to know what the former Dallas housewife is up to since exiting the show.

Aside from getting back into her career as an actress, the 55-year-old is earning extra cash working as an influencer. LeeAnne has posted ads to her social media for companies such as Mind Plus Beauty, VannaBelt, and Mystic Tan. Besides using her notoriety from RHOD to make a living, LeeAnne, who felt set up on RHOD, has been using her time to become more involved in her philanthropic work.

In 2020, LeeAnne appeared on the cover of ReStyled Magazine, which uses fashion to help children who are in need. The magazine has featured other Bravo reality stars, such as The Real Housewives Of New Jersey's Melissa Gorga and Summer House's Paige DeSorbo. LeeAnne's new business ventures have allowed her to realize she needed to leave RHOD. LeeAnne furthered this notion in a 2020 interview with The Daily Mail, admitting that she doesn't miss the show. "You don't realize how deep in it you are until you remove yourself from it," she said, adding that "[it's] kind of like a bad relationship." LeeAnne, who made up with Brandi Redmond, noticed that she felt much happier once she left the show.

Since leaving RHOD, LeeAnne appears to be in a much better place emotionally and mentally. On social media, the former reality star has focused on her health and well-being while also spending much-needed time with her husband, Rich Emberlin. Even though LeeAnne is no longer on The Real Housewives of Dallas, the show did not succeed without her as Bravo announced RHOD's cancelation in August 2021. However, fans will always have streaming available to them to rewatch old episodes.
