“I’ve reflected on numerous reasons for my gratitude…for my existence, for the disorder, for the advantages, and particularly for all of you,” Kelly penned. “I appreciate your understanding as I navigated various issues during this intermission.

She further stated, “That sentiment remains unaltered. In fact, it resonates even more profoundly today. This platform has proven to be precisely what I required. It has been extraordinarily beneficial for me and, more significantly…for my loved ones.”

She continued, “Presently, partly for my mental well-being and given that it's also mid-season, there have been alterations concerning this podcast. I believe I need to pause and determine the course of action. I am not indicating an end to this venture. I simply require a moment.”

The podcast's break occurred only weeks after cohost Hank Winchester, 51, who became part of the podcast in 2023, was exonerated in an inquiry into sexual misconduct allegations.
“I am extremely grateful to have emerged from this completely unblemished. No accusations filed,” Winchester stated on the August 18 installment of “The Morning After.” “The facts were self-evident. However, I must convey, it was an emotionally draining experience.”
