The former The View co-host, who competed on the second season of Survivor, took to her Instagram Stories over the weekend to address speculation that she was part of the cast for the show’s milestone 50th season.
“No, I’m not doing Survivor. That is funny though. I’m not doing that. I’m gonna be back there with, like, snacks instead,” she told her followers, panning the camera to show a pool behind her.
“I’ll be gardening … and working on some fun projects which I’ll tell you about, but it does not include Fiji or Survivor,” she continued. “I’m not doing that. I wanna be with my family and a burger in the backyard.”
