The departure was short-lived, though, and she posted a photo of herself in an airplane wearing a mask two days later.
‘Hey guys, I made a mistake and have made a decision to be in this with you. When I get afraid, I tend to hide and revert,’ the star, who has an MBA from Northeastern University, explained.

Kelly came to fame as a model who worked for Elle and Harper’s Bazaar.
In 2009 she was cast on RHONY with Bethenny Frankel and Ramona Singer but left after season four.
After leaving the show she began to write books, one is called The Bikini Book, and she also is one of the editors of Hamptons magazine.
She is known for her fit figure and has said it is all thanks to exercise and eating well.
‘I started going to classes with her and my body started changing,’ she told Us Weekly. ‘By amping up my exercise routine, my body started changing.

‘I think a lot of women exhaust themselves and they age a lot quicker,’ she went on, adding that she was hitting the gym three times a week at the time.
In 2012, she told The Washingtonian that she was doing a more traditional workout at the gym, citing squats and lunges as her favorite exercises for legs.
‘They just really tone up the inner and outer thighs and lift the buttocks, as well. When your butt muscles are toned, your legs look leaner,’ she said.
As for overall fitness, though, she was favoring running at the time.
‘There are so many great opportunities to work out now. But for me, I’ve always turned to running because it’s super easy,’ she said.
‘It doesn’t cost anything — you just put on your shoes and go. I also spent a lot of time as a swimmer, and swimming is such a good overall workout.’
