Tamra Judge Teases Departure from RHOC with Cryptic Message: “I’m Out”
Tamra Judge, the fiery star of “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” has stirred speculation about her future on the show with a recent cryptic Instagram post that seems to hint at her exit. In a candid reflection shared on March 9, Judge wrote, “When life gives you real problems, this reality s— doesn’t make sense,” before signing off with a definitive “Peace out ✌️ I’m out.” This message has left fans buzzing, questioning whether this is the end of her long tenure on the series.
Judge, who has been a cornerstone of RHOC since its third season, has had an eventful journey, including a hiatus from the show in 2020 after season 14, only to make a triumphant comeback this year for season 17. Over her storied career, she has delivered some of the franchise’s most iconic moments, like the infamous wine toss that became emblematic of the series’ drama. She has also starred in her own spin-off, “Tamra’s OC Wedding,” which documented her marriage to husband Eddie Judge in 2013.
Despite the cliffhanger her post presents, sources suggest that Judge is currently filming with her fellow cast members on a trip to New Orleans, indicating that she hasn’t quite said her final goodbye. However, with notable tensions lingering between her and returning cast member Gretchen Rossi, it seems the dynamics are as charged as ever. Rossi, absent from the series since 2013, is now back as a “Friend” of the Housewives, though her relationship with Judge remains complicated.
Adding another layer to the drama, Judge co-hosts the podcast “Two Ts in a Pod” with Teddi Mellencamp, who is currently facing serious health challenges, including melanoma and brain tumors. Mellencamp’s situation has drawn public sympathy and raises questions about the future of their podcast amidst such personal struggles.
As fans wait with bated breath for a clearer answer on Judge’s status, they can catch up on the latest episodes of “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” available for streaming on Peacock. Stay tuned; the drama is far from over.
