Has Tamra Judge finally had enough drama for one lifetime?
As a connoisseur of life’s finer aspects, I find myself sharing an update on a popular reality TV show, “The Real Housewives of Orange County.” In our latest season, it appears that one of the stars has decided to step away from the series following a shift in dynamics during the Aug. 14 episode, where it seemed all her season 19 co-stars aligned against her.
During the group trip to New Orleans, the tension reached an all-time high when Tamra spread a rumor that Katie Ginelli had told a blogger she had drugged Gretchen Rossi during season four of the show. However, due to their longstanding animosity, it was no surprise that Gretchen took Katie’s word when she vehemently denied Tamra’s unproven accusation.
And Tamra was not happy.
After dinner that evening, Tamra became argumentative towards everyone, leading them to comment on her apparent unbalanced mental state.
As a devoted admirer putting my thoughts into words, let me share that I couldn’t help but notice Gina Kirschenheiter calling out her fellow cast member, Tamra, for her less-than-friendly conduct.
Gina expressed, “Your behavior is disrespectful and you seem intoxicated, Tamra. Your actions are upsetting everyone here at the table. This table belongs to me personally, and I find your actions unacceptable.
Following Tamra’s hasty exit from the eatery, the company pondered whether she might have been under the influence. Gina remarked, “Perhaps she took a tranquilizer like Xanax, had a cocktail, and that accounts for her behavior.
In a confessional moment, Shannon Beador expressed her confusion: “I can’t say for sure how many drinks Tamra had, but when she came into my room with something she called water, it didn’t look like it. I was told just a few hours ago that I won’t ever see her drunk again. So, what’s going on here?
However, no conversation with friend Heather Dubrow seemed capable of soothing Tamra, and in her anger, she chose to leave the dinner and rush off to catch a flight back to Southern California as soon as possible.

In the confession room, Tamra candidly shared, “I wish my friends could offer me their support, and grasp that I’m far from flawless. I’m feeling unloved, unwanted, and I can’t help but doubt if there’s a spot for me within this circle.
But the drama didn’t end there.
In my role as a lifestyle guide, let me share an experience I recently encountered. Received a rather abrupt text from Tamra, which read something like, “Take a hike,” while Heather was greeted with a message stating, “Bailing out. Gina overstepped the mark. No one is being genuine.
Subsequently, Gina came across Tamra’s Instagram Story from March 2025 that appeared to indicate her permanent departure from the reality show.
Within the confines of the confessional, Tamra expressed her feelings honestly: “I wish my friends could offer me support and empathy, as I am far from perfect. I feel unloved and unwanted, and I question if I truly belong in this group.
But the drama didn’t end there.
Later on, Gina got a text from Tamra saying, “Back off,” and Heather received a message stating, “I’ve left. Gina overstepped boundaries. Nobody is genuine.”
In response, Gina was sent a message by Tamra that said, “Keep away,” while Heather got a note saying, “I departed. Gina went too far. No one is sincere.
Subsequently, Gina came across Tamra’s March 2025 Instagram post that appeared to indicate her permanent departure from the reality show.
As Gina read aloud from her phone, “Oh my goodness, she posted on Instagram, ‘What a marathon! When life throws serious challenges at us, this TV drama seems senseless. Farewell. I’m signing off.’
The collective was undeniably taken aback, with everyone but Gretchen seemingly anticipating the turn of events as she nonchalantly thought to herself, “I guess I knew all along she might leave the series.
Regardless of the dramatic revelation made by Tamra, Gina chose to firmly assert her stance and counteract her former friend’s actions.
In a private reflection, she expressed her frustration by saying, “I’ve had enough of Tamra! You keep talking about improving yourself, managing your anger, and fostering personal development, but this kind of conduct is utterly unacceptable. She even said ‘screw you’ to the wrong individual.
Tamra then told the camera while driving away, “I’m out. I don’t need this. Bye!”

Bravo’s unsuccessful endeavor to showcase notable women representing our nation’s capital instead united four rather forgettable individuals, whose names are Mary Amons, Lynda Erkiletian, Cat Ommanney, and Stacie Scott Turner. Another woman, eager for recognition, even crashed a White House party. We will delve deeper into her story later on.
Who?
Vaguely familiar, but…
Once upon a time, DeShawn starred on the same TV show as NeNe Leakes. Surprising, we know.
This one-season Housewife brought nothing to the Orange County table.
In the second season of Utah’s Housewives, Jennie made an abrupt exit following a controversial incident. In January 2022, her previous racially insensitive comments on Facebook were brought back to light, leading to her termination. Afterwards, she expressed remorse but the harm had already been inflicted.
Her defining trait was “cougar.”
During season 16, the doctor from Orange County was not a focal point of drama. Her temporary marital issues with her husband, often seen without a shirt (either Ryne or Ryan), were unremarkable. Yet, one event that will forever stand out is when Dr. Jen overindulged in wine at the Dubrows’ incredibly awkward yet entertaining dinner party, getting quite tipsy.
The initial period of practice for the anesthesia nurse could be encapsulated with a term that we fervently wish to forget – the unfortunate incident known as “Esophagus-affair.
Katie often enjoyed discussing her charitable endeavors, but she wasn’t very active on-screen. She was more like a one-time appearance, and when she returned as a friend, she didn’t contribute much. Cutting the cast trip short? That’s not a good move for a ‘Housewife’.
During the two seasons she was a regular Housewife, Charrisse’s marital issues were openly visible, making them quite memorable about her. Additionally, her time spent in the champagne room is another significant point often recalled regarding Charrisse.
A one-and-done Housewife, Shamari was at least fun?
In my expert opinion as a lifestyle enthusiast, I must admit that it was refreshing to witness a bit of diversity in the traditionally homogeneous O.C., but unfortunately, Peggy’s presence in season 12 was more aggravating than enlightening. Her peculiar choice of conflicts, frequently involving misunderstandings due to an unfamiliar word, left me scratching my head. Moreover, her decision to seclude herself in her room for a full day during our Iceland getaway suggested that the fast-paced and dynamic lifestyle of a Real Housewife was simply not her cup of tea.
During her debut season, instead of developing camaraderie with Nigerian costar Wendy Osefo as one might expect, Nneka’s storyline primarily revolved around an alleged claim that Wendy’s mother was a witch. Unfortunately, the audience missed out on opportunities to witness the two women connecting over their shared heritage, and instead, were left watching their conflict without resolution.
In the 16th season, Noella whirled about with an intense, whirlwind energy. Despite the intrigue surrounding her personal issues (her husband, James, departed overseas just before filming began, asking for a divorce), it was her ongoing turmoil with Heather Dubrow that kept her from languishing at the bottom. Perhaps given more time and another season, we’ll grow fonder of Noella Bergener.
In her debut season, she was known as the peacemaker, but by her second and final season, she went from making complaints about a carelessly thrown cake to accusations of anti-Semitism that were unsubstantiated. This sudden decline in reputation among the Real Housewives may be one of the most rapid we’ve ever witnessed.
In my perspective, everything that Amber and her spouse, Jim, undertook appeared incredibly desperate. Interestingly, it seemed like he found himself deeper within the drama compared to Amber. It’s certainly not an appealing image.
What stands out about Karen is primarily her profession as a dentist, and it appears none of her fellow cast members held her in high regard. Moving on!
This was a real person with a show on Bravo. We promise.
In the group of more recent cast members on “Real Housewives of New York,” Jules had a short stint that didn’t allow for a higher ranking. Yet, she certainly brought plenty of drama during her time on the show.
So unnecessary they couldn’t even get individual taglines.
In a similar vein to Sara Al Madani, Nina represented a multifaceted, accomplished Arab woman skillfully balancing contemporary life with age-old cultural customs. She largely steered clear of the first season’s turmoil and at times found herself eclipsed by her co-stars’ more prominent, boisterous personas.
Taleen proved to be a pleasant newcomer during the second season of RHODubai, however, since we’ve only seen one season from her, it’s challenging to make a comprehensive evaluation.
In those seasons 11 and 12, a longtime contestant on “America’s Next Top Model” chose a peach, but didn’t leave a significant mark on the realm of “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” except for being pregnant throughout her term. However, she did earn kudos for that striking rebuke of Marlo Hampton during their time in Tokyo.
Typically, we require multiple seasons to rank a new Housewife higher in our list. However, Katie made an impressive debut during the 18th season of RHOC, right away confronting long-time Housewife Heather Dubrow. It takes quite a bold woman to question someone like ‘Ms. Fancypants’.
Sara’s upbeat, insightful perspective on life was pleasantly refreshing, yet lacked the usual dose of drama (except for when she provided unsolicited parenting advice to co-star Caroline Brooks). However, this tech entrepreneur broke through stereotypes about what it means to be a contemporary Muslim woman in the Middle East, and we commend her for that.
The newcomers on Season 13 of RHONJ certainly embody the stereotypical Jersey Housewife and spent their entire season bickering over trivial matters, a conflict that even Andy Cohen deemed useless at the reunion. Sadly, these former friends didn’t add much more depth during Season 14.
In the initial season, Larsa didn’t leave a significant mark before departing the show. When the Real Housewives of Miami was rebooted for its fourth season in 2021 on Peacock, however, her entire narrative centered around her past friendship with Kim Kardashian and her ventures, such as selling foot photos on OnlyFans.
In my expertise, I’d rephrase that as: After my brief stint as a Bravolebrity, I decided to challenge myself further by participating in season 12 of “Next Food Network Star” in the year 2016. Unfortunately, the journey didn’t lead me to victory there either.
This version maintains the original information while adopting a first-person perspective and a more conversational tone, making it easier for readers to connect with the content.
Unfortunately, Brandi Glanville treated her as if she were merely a target for insults, and her catchphrase, which seemed to glorify an unpleasant idea that one can never be too thin, was distasteful.
Brandi Glanville repeatedly attacked her, making her feel like a victim of verbal abuse. Moreover, her slogan promoting the idea that being excessively thin is something to aspire to was off-putting and inappropriate.
