However, another insider tells RadarOnline.com that Acks left on good terms and just chose to pursue other opportunities.
"It's true he is no longer with the show, but he left to pursue other avenues. He just wasn't happy in TV production," the source revealed.
"He didn't leave on bad terms. It was his first job out of college and he's figuring out what he likes. He was a runner on the show, and it just wasn't for him."
RadarOnline.com reached out to Acks for comment, who directed us to the show's publicist, who declined comment.
As previously reported, Frankel accused her staff of leaking negative stories to the press earlier this year and warned them to cut it out.
