Tamra Judge Hints At Possible ‘RHOC’ Exit: “I’m Out”

It looks like Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge is once again leaving the Bravo series.

The star shared a cryptic message to her Instagram story Sunday (March 9) teasing her exit while reportedly on a cast trip.

“It was a long run! When life gives you real problems this reality shit doesn’t make sense. Peace out Im out,” she wrote in her story.

Though Judge didn’t offer any additional explanation about her decision to resign from the show, she did confirm the news to a reality fan page that asked, “Is Tamra quitting??”

“Yes!!!” Judge responded in the comments.

A source confirmed to People that Judge is currently on a cast trip to New Orleans with her cast mates, Shannon Storms Beador, Emily Simpson, Jennifer Pedranti, Heather Dubrow, Gina Kirschenheiter and Katie Ginella.

Judge has become a mainstay on RHOC, having starred on the series since Season 3. She briefly exited in Season 14 before returning to the cast in Season 17.

The housewife also starred in The Traitors Season 2 and The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip.

Judge did not specify what spurred her second resignation from the show. But she has been supporting her close friend and longtime cast mate Teddi Mellencamp, who is dealing with her own health journey after doctor recently found “multiple” tumors in her brain and lungs.

Judge’s exit also comes just as production on Season 19 is ramping up, this time with former star Gretchen Rossi back on the show as a friend of the cast.

Rossi and Judge famously had a massive falling out on the show in Season 18, but the pair seemed to have made amends since then. Judge welcomed Rossi back on the show in January. “I guess it’s time to dust off those friendship bracelets… my bestie’s back,” she wrote in a social media post regarding Rossi’s return.

Decider reached out to Bravo for confirmation. A new season of Real Housewives of Orange County will premiere on Bravo later this year.
