After joining the show in season 4, which began airing in 2015, Kent, 34, couldn’t help but share some of her “mixed feelings” about the news.

“Sur was a place that became home. I found myself not only sipping on vodka sodas there, but behind a hostess stand. It still to this day is the most intimidating job I’ve ever had,” Kent wrote via Instagram. “A short time later the opportunity to be on a show called Vanderpump Rules landed in front of me. … It’s no secret I do not like change. This is the exception.”

Kent went on to thank everyone “for rocking with us for so many years. This show changed my whole life. I’m unbelievably grateful for every moment.
