Stacey Rusch, a former QVC host known for her engaging presentations, announced her departure from the shopping network in April 2024. In a heartfelt message on her QVC Facebook page, Rusch expressed her desire to focus on her family after a fulfilling career at the network. Her decision follows a successful stint as a program host that began in the spring of 2022.
Rusch joined QVC after a background in local television, where she served as a lifestyle reporter in Washington, D.C. Over her two-year tenure at QVC, she connected with viewers through various shows, including her notable role on PM Style, where she showcased a range of fashion from beloved designers. Her charisma and knowledge made her a favorite among fans, who appreciated her clear and informative product presentations.
In her farewell announcement, Rusch stated, “With a heart full of gratitude, I’ve made a major life decision — to leave a job that I love, to focus on the most important job of my life, being a Mom.” She expressed gratitude for her colleagues and the opportunity to connect with viewers, thanking them for their support throughout her journey.
As Rusch transitions from QVC to a new chapter, she is also gaining recognition as a cast member on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Potomac, which premiered its ninth season in October 2024. Her appearances on the reality series have led to a resurgence of interest in her past QVC clips, highlighting her dynamic presentation style. Viewers have taken to social media, sharing their fond memories and appreciation for her work.
Many fans voiced their sadness over her exit from QVC. In the network’s Community Chat, one viewer remarked, “She was a very good host, well informed with the products she presented and she gave very clear information.” Another fan added, “Oh no!!! I LOOOOOVE her, and will miss her poise, CLASS, BEAUTY, and soft-spoken professionalism!” Such comments underscore the impact Rusch had on her audience during her time at QVC.
Rusch’s departure coincided with another significant change at QVC, as fellow host TJ Jones also announced his exit around the same time. In his farewell message, Jones expressed his passion for the network but indicated a desire to explore new opportunities beyond the studio. “Being part of the QVC family helped me realize how much I have to give,” he stated, emphasizing his intention to spread positivity and support to others.
As Rusch continues her journey on The Real Housewives of Potomac, she has expressed gratitude for the opportunity to be part of a legacy show. In an interview with Us Weekly, she shared her excitement about the reception of the latest season, stating, “I’m very, very grateful that you and other people are enjoying season 10. I love it.”
With her departure from QVC and her growing presence on reality television, Rusch’s career is taking a new direction. Fans remain eager to follow her journey both as a television personality and a devoted mother, marking a significant transition in her professional life. Her time at QVC may have come to an end, but her impact on viewers and her new role in reality television are just beginning.
