Tamra Judge Shocks RHOC Fans With Message About Leaving Show

It appears that Tamra Judge is expressing some reservations about the forthcoming 19th season of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

For some time, a well-known Bravo personality left fans guessing after sharing an enigmatic post on social media that appeared to suggest she was stepping down from the reality show.

57-year-old shared on her Instagram Stories (March 9), “That run was exhausting!” Translation: Life can be challenging with its tough issues, but the everyday struggles seem nonsensical. So, I’m taking my leave. Peace.

Despite the co-host of “Two T’s in a Pod” not providing any background information, numerous listeners speculated that her message might be related to the forthcoming season of “Real Housewives of Orange County.

TopMob News has reached out to Bravo for comment but has yet to hear back.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but reminisce about the times Tamra has graced our screens. It wasn’t the first time she took a step back in 2020, following season 14. However, her absence was brief, as she returned to the fold three years later for season 17, reclaiming her role as a full-time Housewife.

A plausible explanation for Tamra’s turmoil in the upcoming season might stem from the reappearance of her age-old adversary, Gretchen Rossi. The longstanding rivals were spotted during filming of the season 19 cast excursion in New Orleans alongside returning cast members Shannon Beador, Heather Dubrow, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, Jennifer Pedranti, and Katie Ginella.

Regarding her experience returning to the camera after a decade-long break, Gretchen shared with TopMob News that she and her partner of 10 years, Slade Smiley, are thrilled about this new chapter in their lives.

She confessed last month, “It feels quite enjoyable not to worry about anything when returning. I am simply being true to myself and that’s the person you’ll see on camera. If viewers appreciate me or not, well, that’s unfortunate for them.

Additionally, Slade mentioned, “Now is the perfect moment. She genuinely maintains friendships with many of the women beyond the influence of filming and production. We have strong connections with numerous ladies, which I look forward to sharing with you.

As a die-hard fan, I, much like Gretchen who left the Real Housewives of Orange County after its eighth season, am eagerly counting down the days until we all get the chance to meet her precious 5-year-old daughter, Skylar.

Speaking with TopMob, the 46-year-old expressed, “This fresh chapter in our lives is particularly exciting because it’s something I’ve longed for – having a child. I believe folks will enjoy seeing me and Slade embracing parenthood together.

As a dedicated follower, I found myself drawn into Bravo’s unlucky endeavor to showcase our nation’s capital, which unexpectedly united four women whose faces may blur in your mind—despite their names being Mary Amons, Lynda Erkiletian, Cat Ommanney, and Stacie Scott Turner. There was one among them who seemed so eager for the limelight that she intruded upon a gathering at the White House. I’ll share more about her in due course.

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.

Utah’s second season Housewife, Jennie, ended her run controversially in January 2022 when she was dismissed following the re-emergence of offensive and racially insensitive comments from her old Facebook posts. In response to the uproar, Jennie expressed regret but the harm had already been inflicted.

Her defining trait was “cougar.”

During season 16, the Orange County doctor was more of a calm presence rather than causing any dramatic stir. Her marital issues with her husband, whom we often see without a shirt (either Ryne or Ryan), were not particularly intriguing. However, who could forget Dr. Jen’s highly memorable incident at the Dubrows’ dinner party, where she got quite tipsy on wine, turning an awkwardly strange gathering into something surprisingly entertaining?

The initial period of work for the nurse anesthetist could be succinctly described as a regrettable episode, which we fervently hope will not recur – let’s just say it was a difficult time that became infamously known as “Esophagus incident.

Katie often discussed her charitable activities, yet didn’t seem very active in front of the camera. She could be described as a one-time appearance kind of person who didn’t add much when they returned to the cast. Cutting a trip short? That’s not something ‘Housewives’ typically do.

During her two seasons as a full-time Housewife, it was evident that Charrisse’s marital issues were prominent features in the show, along with her champagne room, which remain notable aspects of her persona.

A one-and-done Housewife, Shamari was at least fun?

In the twelfth season of the show, it was refreshing to observe some diversity among the predominantly white cast of O.C., but Peggy turned out to be a source of irritation. The disputes she initiated were peculiar, frequently revolving around someone employing a term she failed to comprehend. Additionally, her choice to seclude herself in her room for an entire day during the Iceland trip demonstrated that she wasn’t well-suited for the lifestyle portrayed on Real Housewives.

During her debut season, instead of developing camaraderie with fellow Nigerian co-star Wendy Osefo, Nneka’s narrative primarily revolved around an alleged accusation that Wendy’s mother was a witch (believe it or not). It would have been more rewarding to watch them connect over their shared cultural background instead of engaging in conflict without resolution.

In Season 16, Noella whirled around as a whirlwind of frenetic enthusiasm. Although her own tribulations (her husband James abruptly departed the country and filed for divorce just before filming began) added an element of intrigue, it was her ongoing disputes with Heather Dubrow that prevented her from sinking too low in the rankings. Perhaps given more time and another season, we might grow fonder of Mrs. Bergener.

In her debut season, she was known as a peacemaker, but by her final season, she switched to constant complaints over a supposedly thrown cake and baseless accusations of anti-Semitism. It’s hard to recall a faster descent from grace on “Real Housewives” than this particular case.

Everything Amber and her spouse Jim appeared to be filled with urgency or panic. Additionally, it seemed that he was more entangled in the drama compared to her, which certainly didn’t present an appealing image.

What stands out most about Karen is that she was a dentist, and it appeared as though none of her colleagues held her in high regard. Onward!

This was a real person with a show on Bravo. We promise.

Among the more recent temporary cast members on “RHONY”, Jules didn’t stay long enough for a top spot. Nevertheless, she certainly brought a lot of drama during her time.

So unnecessary they couldn’t even get individual taglines.

Similar to Sara Al Madani, Nina represented a multi-faceted, prosperous Arab woman who seamlessly combined contemporary lifestyle with age-old cultural customs. For the most part, she managed to steer clear of the first season’s drama and occasionally found herself playing second fiddle to her co-stars whose larger-than-life personalities often stole the spotlight.

Taleen proved to be a pleasant newcomer during the second season of RHODubai, however, with just one season under our belt, it’s challenging to make a comprehensive assessment of her performance.

In seasons 11 and 12 of “America’s Next Top Model,” the veteran contestant selected a peach, yet failed to leave a lasting impact on the realm of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” beyond being pregnant throughout her stint. However, she did earn points for her memorable reading of Marlo Hampton during their time in Tokyo.

Normally, we require multiple seasons to rank a new Housewife higher, but Katie made an impressive debut in the 18th season of Real Housewives of Orange County, directly challenging veteran Housewife Heather Dubrow. It takes courage to challenge someone as high-profile as Ms. Fancypants.

Sara’s upbeat, insightful perspective on life was generally agreeable, yet lacked significant dramatic moments (apart from when she gave Caroline Brooks some somewhat controversial parenting advice). Nevertheless, this tech entrepreneur broke barriers and challenged assumptions about what it signifies to be a contemporary Muslim woman in the Middle East, and for that, we celebrate her.

In the 13th season of Real Housewives of New Jersey, the newcomers indeed embodied the usual characteristics of a Jersey housewife and were soon entangled in a prolonged argument over an insignificant matter, which Andy Cohen labeled as unnecessary at the reunion. Unfortunately, these former friends didn’t add much depth during season 14.

Larsa didn’t leave a strong mark during the first season of the show before departing. When RHOM returned for its fourth season in 2021, her narrative was centered around her past friendship with Kim Kardashian, along with her endeavors like selling suggestive foot photos on OnlyFans.

After appearing as a Bravolebrity for one season, she participated in the twelfth season of ‘Next Food Network Star’ in the year 2016. Unfortunately, she also didn’t advance in that competition.

Unfortunately, she seemed to serve as a frequent target for Brandi Glanville. Moreover, her catchphrase, which glorified the disturbing idea that one can never be too thin, was distasteful.
