Gigi Hadid is reportedly ready to put her reality television career behind her.

For the last two seasons, Hadid had been seen on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alongside her mother, Yolanda Foster, but in a new interview, the model is revealing plans to step away from the Bravo cameras and start focusing solely on her modeling career.

"I’m not interested in reality TV," Hadid revealed during an interview with Fashion Week Daily. "I want to focus on modeling and get away from all that. I want to be known as a model, not a reality star."

Hadid, 19, began her modeling career after being discovered by Paul Marciano. At just 2-years-old, Hadid landed her first campaign with Baby Guess and continued on with the brand's Guess Kids. Once the campaign wrapped, Hadid put her career on hold in order to focus on horseback riding and school. Then, at the age of 17, Hadid returned to modeling, signing with IMG Models in 2011. In 2012, Hadid was named as the face of Guess and participated in two additional campaigns.

Aside from her ongoing career with Guess, Hadid has walked the runway for Desigual and appeared in several magazines, including Elle, Grazia, Vogue and Sports Illustrated.

As for whether she felt that she was accurately portrayed on the show, Hadid explained, "I don’t think anyone on reality TV is portrayed accurately. Before anyone judges someone on a reality TV show, they should try to get to know them first."
