Tamra Judge made a cryptic post on Instagram suggesting that she may be done with The Real Housewives of Orange County. The 57-year-old reality star shared in an Instagram Story that she feels reality TV doesn’t make sense when facing real problems, hinting that she is leaving the show. Judge has been a part of the RHOC cast since season 3, briefly leaving after season 14 in 2019 but returning as a full-time Housewife for season 17 in 2023.
Photos and videos shared on social media showed the RHOC cast filming a trip in New Orleans over the weekend, although Bravo has not confirmed the final cast for the new season. Judge was spotted in New Orleans with castmates Shannon Beador, Heather Dubrow, Katie Ginella, Gina Kirschenheiter, Jennifer Pedranti, Emily Simpson, and Gretchen Rossi, who is confirmed to return as a “friend” of the group after leaving the show in 2013 after season 8.
In the midst of her possible departure from the show, Tamra Judge has been supporting her friend and podcast cohost Teddi Mellencamp through her recent health issues. Mellencamp announced on February 12 that she was undergoing surgery to remove brain tumors, and Judge tearfully addressed her friend’s health issues on their podcast. Despite successful surgery to remove the tumors, Mellencamp revealed on March 6 that doctors had found five more tumors, three in her brain and two in her lungs. She expressed optimism about the outcome and plans to have the new tumors removed.
The news of Teddi Mellencamp’s health issues comes as Tamra Judge hints at possibly leaving The Real Housewives of Orange County. Judge has been an integral part of the show for many seasons and her departure would be a significant change for the series. It remains to be seen how Judge’s possible exit will impact the upcoming season of the show and how her absence will be addressed by the other cast members.
As the RHOC cast continues to film for the upcoming season, fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation on the final cast members and any changes to the show. With Judge potentially leaving the series and Mellencamp dealing with health issues, there is sure to be a shift in dynamics and storylines for the new season. Viewers will be keeping a close eye on developments in both the show and the personal lives of the cast members.
Both Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp have been dealing with challenges in their personal lives, with Judge possibly leaving the show and Mellencamp facing health issues. Despite these obstacles, both women have shown resilience and strength in handling their respective situations. Their experiences serve as a reminder of the ups and downs of life in the public eye and the importance of support from friends and loved ones during difficult times.
