The PR guru, who is one of the stand out stars of the show, says she won't be returning after things 'turned nasty'.
Real Housewives of Jersey star Tessa Hartmann says she is quitting the "toxic" reality show after just two seasons.
The 52-year-old was branded "a bitch" by fellow Scottish contestant and millionaire property agent Margaret Thompson, said most of the cast have sided against her.
The mum of four, who has called Margaret "irrelevant", said: "The whole series is based around me liking a tweet that said Margaret was boring.
"You get a prize if you find that tweet.
"It has never been produced on the show."Given what I know now, I think they made the whole thing up.
"It's a crock of s**t but that's reality TV for you.
"I've never liked a malicious tweet about another woman in my life. Why would I start now?
"I couldn't do another series with the cast the way it is at the moment as it's just too toxic and not what I'm about."
The spin-off of the US franchise was a TV hit but Tessa said Margaret and the other stars, including charity fundraiser Kate Taylor, property boss Sarha Courtnay and mum-of-three Ashley Cairney, were out to get her.
She said: "I didn't enjoy series two at all. It was too intense and nasty.
"From day one, it was definitely me and them. I was made to feel like an outcast.
"I think the women decided they had it in for me and that was it.
"They went out of their way to make me feel uncomfortable.
"Not a lot of what they said to me was shown so it looked like I was getting upset over something trivial, which wasn’t the case."
Tessa has no intention of burying the hatchet with fellow Glaswegian Margaret.
She added: "Margaret and I were never really friends.
"We were acquaintances in Jersey's business community and that was all."She used me for her storyline and it got so out of hand the whole show was based around conversations about me being mean with nothing to back it up.
"So many of the horrible things Margaret said about me were cut out.
"She had a go at my family and slagged off my daughters, especially Tallia.
"It was dreadful. I sleep very well at night. Does she?

"There is always going to be a Margaret having a go – that's life.
"But she's irrelevant. My main focus is my family and business.
"I don't have any malice towards anyone as they are making a TV show and have no idea how these women are going to behave.
"I loved season one. Jersey looked amazing and it had the ingredients – glamour and women having a bit of banter.
"I have no regrets but won't be returning. Who wants to turn on and see women having the same argument over and over?"
