Tamra Judge has had a challenging year! She has been dealing with personal issues and feeling very low and in a funk. Some of her struggles will play out on The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19, despite her initial claim that she would be walking away from the show.

In a recent episode of iHeartRadio's Two Ts in a Pod podcast, which Tamra co-hosts with Teddi Mellencamp, she revealed that filming has finished and that she was not feeling well. "It is what it is, but yeah, very excited to be done," she said. Teddi was not around for much of the show because of her cancer treatments, but she shared that she was excited to watch it. But what are viewers going to see?

Christina Haack is one of HGTV’s most recognizable faces, with multiple shows on the network, such as Christina on the Coast.

With her love life playing out in tabloids and spilling over to her latest show, The Flip Off, some have suggested she join The Real Housewives of Orange County on Bravo.

Haack is based out of Orange County and many fans think she would be a perfect fit for the reality series.

“Informally, yes,” Haack said on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live after a show caller asked if anyone from Rhoc had contacted her to join the series.

Although Bravo fans think the interior designer would be great on the Bravo show, Haack doesn’t think she would make good TV.

“I actually don’t think I would be that good on it because I’m really not into girl drama,” she added. “I feel like it’d...

“Sometimes I’d just watch it and I just see what seeps in. That sounds crazy. And then I don’t even know what’s permeating.”

Bibb noted “a lot of Beverly Hills was happening, and that felt in the right world. Maybe a little Oc. Maybe there’s a little Heather Dubrow in her.”

Tamra Judge’s dramatic announcement about quitting The Real Housewives of Orange County was anti-climactic at best because now she’s back.

The 57-year-old was recently spotted filming a scene with castmate Heather Dubrow.

The women are back in California after filming their New Orleans cast trip and enjoying the city’s Mardi Gras events.

That’s where something happened that got Tamra so upset that she left the cast trip prematurely.

She then posted a message on her Instagram Story that she was done with the show.

Meanwhile, Rhoc fans weren’t exactly crying over the news of Tamra’s exit.

Some people didn’t believe that she was gone for good and the ones that did told the blonde beauty good riddance.

The drama revolving around the Real Housewives franchise never seems to end. While the 19th season of The Real Housewives of Orange County is currently being filmed, a new issue has erupted, leading to the exit of a cast member. Tamra Judge recently posted quite a cryptic message on her Instagram story, leaving fans wondering if she has quit the reality show.

She later commented on a fan page and confirmed that she has left the series but did not offer any more details. As per rumors, a cast dinner saw a feud between the housewives, leading to Tamra taking the decision to quit the show. Andy Cohen, producer of the franchise also addressed it.

Tamra Judge, a somewhat polarizing personality from The Real Housewives of Orange County, (Rhoc) announced on social media that she’s left the Bravo show. She has done that in the past, but the question is, will she be missed? Read on to find out what fans think.

Quitting In New Orleans

Season 19 of the Bravo show was filming in New Orleans and Judge got all worked up and angry. “It was a long run! When life gives you real problems this reality s–t doesn’t make sense. Peace out ✌️ Im out,” she said on Instagram Stories this Sunday night. Naturally, Rhoc fan accounts got hold of the news, which sparked much discussion.

Whatever set her off, clearly made her fume becasue the Rhoc star confirmed it when Taste of Reality shared a screenshot. “Yes” she wrote in answer to a question about her so-called permanent departure.

At first, Tamra Judge was all in with The Real Housewives of Orange County. She was ready to film Season 20 despite getting backlash for her behavior in the last season. Bravo fans called Tamra out for feuding with her friends. Now, she’s coming face-to-face with her enemies.

I Quit!

Rhoc Season 20 is currently in production. Tamra reportedly quit the show in the middle of filming. She had a tense run-in with Gretchen Rossi. As Rhoc fans already know, the two don’t get along. Gretchen returned to the show to confront Tamra.

This week, paparazzi and onlookers caught the cast on a trip to New Orleans. The ladies celebrated Mardi Gras. Tamra attended the event with her fellow co-stars Heather Dubrow, Shannon Beador, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, Jennifer Pedranti, Katie Ginella, and Gretchen. Photos and videos leaked of the cast leaked on social media.

There was one moment when...

Get ready for plenty of drama in Season 19 of The Real Housewives of Orange County because one cast member has already called it quits.

Photos recently leaked of the women filming their cast trip in New Orleans, but something drastic must have happened.

Tamra Judge hinted at the chaos in the camp, posting a message that she was done with the show after 14 seasons as a housewife.

In the post, the blonde beauty said, “Peace out,” adding that she has real-life problems and does have time for this “reality s**t.”

Those real-life problems involve her best friend and podcast co-host, Teddi Mellencamp, who recently underwent brain surgery.

Teddi has temporarily left her co-hosting duties as she recovers from surgery, and Tamra has been urging fans to keep her in their prayers.

However, the Rhobh alum still has tumors in her brain and her lungs, which means she might not...

“It was a long run! When life gives you real problems this reality s–t doesn’t make sense. Peace out Im out,” she Judge penned on her Instagram Story late last night, as you can see below.

After a fan account posted a screenshot of Judge’s message and asked in the caption, “Is Tamra quitting??,” the reality star herself confirmed in the comments section, Yes!!!

So there you have it. No reading between the lines necessary here.

Bravo is the home of one of the most popular reality franchises in the world, The Real Housewives. Though it started as a US-based series only, it was quick to attain success and expand internationally with more adaptations than one can count. The network produces United States-based editions.

Dubai is the only international version that Bravo has ever produced. From the first series decades ago in 2006 to rumors of several new editions being tested for production, the Housewives franchise has come a long way. Here’s the current status of all the popular US-based editions.

In the premiere of The Flip Off, Christina Haack opened up about her difficult divorce from Josh Hall which had a major impact on her personal and professional life. Christina and Josh had only been married for a short time before they announced their split in July 2024. Just weeks after filming for the new HGTV show started.

We got a six-figure settlement, but this is Crazy!” Glanville wrote in the caption. “I’m on my [lymphatic] drainage machine. ⁦@DrDubrow, let’s get this f***er.” Ok so about...

Here’s How Fans Reacted To Gretchen Rossi’s Return In Rhoc (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The Real Housewives of Orange County has begun filming its upcoming 19th season, and fans are beyond excited. The first edition of the franchise, Rhoc, has been a fan-favorite, and the last season saw an increase in viewership, making it one of the top reality series of the year by Bravo. But what has made things interesting is the return of a familiar face in the mix.

Gretchen Rossi is officially returning to the series as a “friend,” which has made things more interesting for the audience, expecting plenty of fireworks between her and housewife Tamra Judge. Here’s what we know and how fans reacted to the news and the reality star’s return.

Gretchen Rossi Returns To The Real Housewives of Orange County

Bravo has officially announced Gretchen’s return. The 46-year-old will...

Gretchen Rossi is set to return to The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19, Deadline has learned.

The reality TV personality will join the cast as a “friend” in a part-time role as filming for the new season begins.

Rossi first joined the Bravo franchise in Season 4, where she held an orange as a full-time housewife for five seasons, leaving the show after Season 8 in 2013.

Rhoc is the longest-running Real Housewives franchise, having premiered in 2006. Season 19 is expected to bring all its main stars back, including Tamra Judge, Heather Dubrow, Shannon Storms Beador, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, Jennifer Pedranti, and Katie Ginella.

Alexis Bellino, a former Rhoc star featured as a “friend” in Season 18, will not return for the new season.

After its well-received, highly rated 18th season on Bravo, which concluded in November, “The Real Housewives of Orange County” will once again add Gretchen Rossi to its ranks — she will appear as a “friend” of the cast. Production on the show’s 19th season began this week, with the entire cast returning, except for former “friend” Alexis Bellino.

Rossi joined the cast of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” — the Og series that kicked of Bravo’s “Real Housewives” franchise — in Season 4, which premiered in November 2008. At the time of filming her first season, Rossi was engaged to Jeff Beitzel, an older man of means, and there were those in the cast who painted her as a golddigger (who “went to Bass Lake!”). By the time the season premiered, Beitzel had died.

Soon afterward, in Season 5, Rossi and Slade Smiley — sort of an original cast member, in that he’d...

Love or hate her, Katie Ginella had a stellar freshman season on The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Unsurprisingly, she’s set to return for Rhoc Season 19 alongside Shannon Beador, Heather Dubrow, Tamra Judge, Gina Kirschenheiter, Jennifer Pedranti, and Emily Simpson.

In a new interview with Us Weekly, Katie opened up about her friendship with The Hills alum Audrina Patridge, revealing that they’ve been close friends for 12 years.

Since Audrina had been on reality TV screens since 2006, Katie admitted that her friend was there for her as she navigated the early days of her stint on Rhoc.

“She was so kind and so helpful,” Katie dished, adding that she would like her friend to appear on the Real Housewives.

“She’s super spicy and super sharp, and she’s also got a lot of soul. I would love it, but I don’t think she’s interested. She’s...

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 was a gold-standard season of reality TV.

Now that the cast and viewers have had time to decompress from all the backstabbing, details are beginning to trickle out about what to expect from Rhoc Season 19.

Ok! Magazine has confirmed that Tamra Judge, Heather Dubrow, Shannon Beador, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, Jennifer Pedranti, and Katie Ginella have all been asked back for Season 19.

There are no surprises because the seven cast members brought their A-game and truly put their all into crafting one of the most memorable seasons in Real Housewives history.

Of course, we already know that Alexis Bellino’s time on the show is over, as the controversial cast member recently announced that she had been fired.

In a sense, it feels like producers squandered potential here because maybe, just maybe, Alexis could have looked back at her behavior and come into the next season more self-aware.

With the 19th season of The Real Housewives of Orange County set to start filming this month, fans have been quite excited to figure out what new fights and dynamics will play a role in the upcoming edition. With Alexis Bellino exiting the show, they are wondering what the new drama will be like since she feuded with Shannon Storms Beador last season.

Her exit will not damper the entertainment as there’s a new beef brewing between cast members Katie Ginella and Emily Simpson, and it might reach its boiling point this upcoming season. Here’s what we know about the feud, the reason behind it, and what to expect from the same.

The last season of The Real Housewives of Orange County saw a lot of success, raking in plenty of viewership and increased ratings that were more than what it received in five years. Fans were happy with the dynamic present between the cast group and enjoyed the season’s storylines.

With the new year finally here, viewers have been excited for the Orange County edition to start filming again. Even though production has not officially announced the cast, a source has leaked which names will be returning for season 19. Here’s everything we know about it.

The Real Housewives franchise boasts a lot of popular names, including Kyle Richards, Teresa Giudice, Heather Dubrow, Tamra Judge, Shannon Storms Beador, and more. Ayda Field has often popped up as a potential name to star in the Beverly Hills edition, but nothing concrete comes of it.

Recently, Andy Cohen, the franchise’s executive producer, revealed that Bravo had offered the actress the opportunity to star on the show not one but five times. Here’s what the host disclosed and what the wife of Robbie Williams responded to after Andy’s surprising reveal.

The Real Housewives of Orange County was the first-ever Real Housewives installment to premiere on Bravo back in 2006. Since then, fans have met several beautiful and successful women of Southern California, including most popular housewives, Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, and Heather Dubrow, who have all become household names.

In fact, all four O.C. women mentioned continue to work on the reality TV show today in different capacities (Vicki makes several guest appearances). With Season 18 having concluded in November 2024, the women are back to working their regular day jobs and not being followed by cameras 24/7, for now.

But, what exactly do all the cast members do for work? Fans may be surprised to learn that they aren't just living off their Bravo paychecks and actually have prominent careers.

All of the housewives have money,...

HGTV has released a new preview for their upcoming series, The Flip Off, which stars Christina Haack, Tarek El Moussa, and Heather Rae El Moussa.

The house flipping series was supposed to pit Haack and her husband, Josh Hall, against her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and his new wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, and see which couple could profit more in their respective projects. However, Haack and Hall announced they were splitting amid filming, and cameras seemingly captured tense moments between the two.

“This is a competition. You gotta pull out all stops. Whatever it takes to win, I’ll do it,” Hall tells Haack in the preview, adding, “Hall’s rule!”

Haack doesn’t seem too excited about Team Hall, and her now estranged husband tells her, “You’re supposed to say it with me or repeat it or something that shows that you’re with me. Remember, you’re a Hall now.

The Real Housewives of Orange County was the first show in The Real Housewives franchise, debuting in 2006. Across 18 seasons, the Rhoc has had numerous cast mates, friends, and guests come and go. The Rhoc has also introduced audiences to various romantic partners, children, and other relatives.

None of the original members of the Rhoc's cast have lasted all 18 seasons and, during its long run, notable housewives like Tamra Judge and Heather Dubrow have come and gone — only to return. For the Rhoc stars who haven't reemerged, it's natural to be curious about what happened to them after they left the show.

Here are all the former cast mates and what they're up to now.

Vicki Gunvalson

Via Bravo TV

Vicki Gunderson was married to Don Gunvalson when she joined The Real Housewives of Orange County and had a close relationship with her son, Michael, and her daughter, Briana. Vicki and Don later divorced.

Season 18 of The Real Housewives of Orange County ended weeks ago but the drama continues.

First, we learned that Alexis Bellino was fired after her dramatic return to the show, and Bravo fans popped their champagnes and celebrated the good news.

However, that’s not the only interesting development happening among the cast.

Despite their tight friendship last season, the relationship between Alexis and Tamra Judge has taken a turn for the worse.

Tamra explained their fallout during an episode of her podcast and affirmed that she’s been a good friend to the 47-year-old.

No one understood how the two even became friends after their years-long rivalry, with Tamra dubbing her Jesus Jugs during a heated altercation at the Season 7 reunion.

Viewers believed that Tamra joined forces with the blonde beauty to take down Shannon Beador, but did she jump ship when that plan backfired?

Rhoc’s Tamra Judge...

Former ‘Real Housewives of Orange County‘ star Tamra Judge recently opened up about her interactions with Alexis Bellino following the latter’s departure from the show. In a candid discussion on her “Two Ts In A Pod” podcast, Judge revealed details about their off-camera conversations, including a heated exchange after the season 17 reunion.

Judge also took aim at her former co-star Vicki Gunvalson, criticizing her recent comments about the “Two Ts In A Pod” podcast and dismissing Gunvalson’s podcast ratings as “ridiculous.”

Judge confirmed that she was aware of Bellino’s decision to leave “Rhoc” prior to the official announcement. “Obviously, I knew that,” Judge revealed, acknowledging that she wasn’t at liberty to discuss it publicly until the news became official.

Judge expressed her agreement with former Bravo producer Carlos King’s assessment of Bellino’s exit,...

Now that the dust is settling on The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18, all eyes are on what the long-running Bravo series does next to keep viewers entertained.

As Monsters and Critics previously reported, Alexis Bellino was fired after one season back.

While Rhoc’s avid fan base has celebrated the news, Alexis’ actions were nothing compared to Tamra Judge’s, who is expected to remain on the show into Season 19.

There’s no debate about whether Alexis was a bust during Season 18. Still, she brought plenty of drama for a friend of the housewives as she made it her mission to discredit everything Shannon Beador had to say about John Janssen.

If anything, producers failed Alexis because they had to know how this would go.

They brought Alexis back to challenge the more vulnerable Shannon and allowed the returning star to show up to every party with a...

Real Housewives Of Orange County star Alexis Bellino will not be returning for Season 19 — which we speculated might very well be the case back on December 7.

As we reported at the time, it appeared Alexis had long since worn out her welcome with Rhoc fans – who had a lot to say about it – and her self-framing as a reality TV "villain" wasn't doing her any favors:

"After a disastrous reunion, it was clear that Alexis Bellino was the source of conflict, which was proved when Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge quickly left their issues behind and hugged, despite having spent most of the season throwing shade at each other (every fan remembers the Tres Amigas debacle) ...

" ... While there's no official information yet about whether she will leave the show or not, one thing's clear: it will take a lot for her to get back on the audience's good side."

Official confirmation came on Friday,...

Here’s Why Alexis Bellino Is Leaving The Real Housewives of Orange County (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The Real Housewives of Orange County’s recent 18th season enjoyed a significant spike in viewership, its most prominent in the last five years. Fans enjoyed the cast dynamic of Heather Dubrow, Tamra Judge, Shannon Storms Beador, Emily Simpson, Gina Kirschenheiter, Jennifer Pedranti, and Katie Ginella.

With the season wrapping up last month, the preparations for the filming of season 19 are already on. Fans are excited to see which of them will be making their return. Amidst all of it, there is one face that will not be returning as a friend next season: Alexis Bellino. Here’s what the reality star revealed about her exit from the next season of Rhoc.

Former Rhoc star-turned-friend, Alexis Bellino is moving on from the hit Bravo reality series. She had been a regular from Seasons 5 through 8 and then exited. Alexis then returned for Season 18 as a friend of Heather Dubrow and Tamra Judge. She also had some drama to stir up. Now, she will not be returning but what is the reason? Keep reading for more details.

Alexis Bellino Moving On From Bravo Series

When Alexis Bellino first joined Rhoc, she was married to a very controlling man who put their faith first and their family came after that. She had three children and was all about flaunting her body and searching for a career. Alexis attempted news anchoring, acting, and designing a dress line. Much of the cast felt she was fake and disingenuous but she held true to who she was. After Season 8, Alexis and her family departed. She got a divorce...

The Real Housewives of Orange County fans are popping their champagne after getting major news about the upcoming season.

Producers have listened to the outcry of outraged viewers to fire last season’s biggest villain, Alexis Bellino.

The blonde beauty confirmed that she was “not asked back” but wasn’t surprised by the decision given where things left off at the reunion.

However, when she announced the news to former Housewives producer Carlos King, he was surprised.

Nonetheless, Alexis is bidding goodbye to the franchise and a new season is set to film early in early 2025.

As for who’s returning, Shannon Beador, Katie Ginella, and Jennifer Pedranti seemingly had their contracts renewed as the duo teased their return in a recent post.

In an interview with Carlos on the Going Rogue podcast, the returning Rhoc star admitted she is done with the show.

The Real Housewives of Orange County fans are excited about Season 19 because it seems contracts have been sent out.

Shannon Beador, Jennifer Pedranti, and Katie Ginella posted a photo together, and the caption hinted that they are returning next season.

It’s no secret that they were Rhoc fan favorites, all for different reasons.

Shannon was dealing with the aftermath of her DUI arrest, her friendship fallout with Tamra Judge, and her messy split from John Janssen.

Adding insult to injury was the return of Alexis Bellino—John’s now-fiancee who made it her job to go after the mom of four.

However, viewers rallied around Shannon, and she came out winning by the end of the season.

Jennifer gave so much in her second season, finally finding her footing after being a deer in the headlights the first time around.

As for Katie, she made some mistakes during her first season,...

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 may be over, but fans still wonder why Tamra Judge got away with such bad behavior.

In recent months, Tamra has been desperately trying to regain fans’ support, but there are still skeptics.

The 57-year-old recently shared a photo with Og American Idol Judge Paula Abdul, leading to speculation the pair are friends.

However, the more likely scenario is that they met at a recent event because Bravolebrities tend to break bread with those we least expect them to.

Tamra’s photo with Paula came out of the left field because she’s pretty much been on a social media hiatus amid all the recent hate she’s received for her actions on Rhoc.

Take a look at the photo below. It’s filled with some festive cheer and pearly white smiles.

The third and final part of The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 reunion ended with a shocker involving a new scene.

It’s rare for the cameras to pick back up post-reunion, but the intent seemed to be to put a pin in the ongoing friction between Shannon Beador and some of her friends.

Of course, the reunion found Heather Dubrow and Tamra Judge trying to play nice with Shannon in the wake of harsh criticism from both viewers and their co-stars.

The additional scene in question revealed that Heather and Tamra learned that John Janssen heard Shannon crashing her car the night of her DUI arrest.

While the scene unified the women as they headed into Season 19, viewers took to social media to express their concerns.

Given that there was no prior indication that an additional scene had been filmed, it’s perfectly valid to question why it...
