Why Lisa Nicole Cloud Really Left Married To Medicine

While Lisa Nicole Cloud's marriage to Dr. Darren Naugles frequently came under fire during her time on "Married to Medicine," that wasn't the reason she left the show in 2017. Instead, she told TMZ she was stepping away to focus on her business endeavors.

"My clothing line is really growing and I really need to focus and spend some time with that," Cloud explained. "You know when momentum hits you gotta be ready to ride the momentum wave."

At the time, Cloud noted she was open to making appearances on the show – and now she is back as a "friend" on "Married to Medicine's" current season – and already clashing with castmate Dr. Heavenly Kimes. "Heavenly is the one that has not been very welcoming of my return, and I don't think we were ever in competition cause I don't compete against Heavenly. Let's be for real," Cloud told All About The Tea.

And while Cloud is still married to her husband, with whom she shares two children, don't expect him to make an appearance on the show. "I supported her going back on the show with an understanding of me not filming," he explained, according to Urban Belle. "My personal choice."
