Stacey Rusch Exits QVC to Focus on Family Amid Reality TV Rise

Stacey Rusch, a former QVC host known for her engaging presentations, announced her departure from the shopping network in April 2024. This decision comes as Rusch transitions into a prominent role on Bravo’s reality series, The Real Housewives of Potomac, where she has gained significant attention.

Rusch joined QVC in the spring of 2022, relocating from Detroit to West Chester, Pennsylvania. Her background includes experience as a lifestyle reporter and host for various local television stations in Washington, D.C. At QVC, she quickly became a recognizable figure, hosting several popular shows, including the well-received PM Style on QVC2, where she showcased a range of fashion from top designers. Her live broadcasts connected with millions of viewers nationwide.

In her farewell message on her QVC Facebook page, Rusch expressed gratitude for her time at the network. “With a heart full of gratitude, I’ve made a major life decision — to leave a job that I love, to focus on the most important job of my life, being a Mom,” she stated. Rusch praised her colleagues and thanked QVC viewers for their support throughout her journey.

The announcement of Rusch’s exit prompted mixed reactions from fans. Many expressed sadness in the QVC Community Chat, highlighting her professionalism and ability to connect with audiences. Comments reflected her impact: “She was a very good host, well informed with the products she presented,” noted one viewer. Another fan remarked on her charm, stating, “She quickly became a host I looked forward to seeing, and has a very welcoming style of product presentation.”

As Rusch embraces her new role on The Real Housewives of Potomac, which premiered its ninth season in October 2024, her presence on the show has captured the attention of audiences. “I’m very, very grateful that you and other people are enjoying season 10,” she told Us Weekly in October 2025, reflecting on her appreciation for being part of a long-running series.

In addition to her departure, Rusch’s former colleague, TJ Jones, also announced his exit from QVC around the same time. Jones expressed his desire to share his energy and joy beyond the studio, stating, “Being part of the QVC family helped me realize how much I have to give.”

As Rusch continues her journey in reality television, her fans look forward to seeing how her experiences at QVC will influence her new role, while she balances family life and her blossoming career in entertainment.
