Is Tamra Judge Leaving ‘Real Housewives’? Here’s What Andy Cohen Revealed

Andy Cohen has shared his thoughts on Tamra Judge’s rumored exit from “The Real Housewives of Orange County.”

Though he refrained from confirming or denying her departure, Cohen encouraged fans to reflect on the larger circumstances of her life.

“I learned about last night’s developments. All I can say is that I can’t discuss ongoing filming during this time,” the talk show host and Bravo executive producer stated recently on his SiriusXM show.

“What weighs heavily on my mind is that one of her closest friends, if not her very best friend, is facing a significant health crisis, so perhaps keep that in perspective,” he added. “Beyond that, I don’t have much else to say.”

Cohen, who is 56, seemed to reference Judge’s dear friend, former “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Teddi Mellencamp, 43.

Mellencamp recently disclosed that doctors discovered multiple tumors in her brain and lungs, indicating that her melanoma, initially diagnosed in 2022, has metastasized.

Judge, 57, has been outspoken in her support for Mellencamp during these challenging health issues.

“Please join me in praying for @teddimellencamp as she undergoes surgery today,” Judge posted about Mellencamp, with whom she co-hosts the podcast “Two Ts In A Pod,” on February 12 in an Instagram post.

She expressed that she “can’t imagine” life without Mellencamp, referring to her as “the little sister I never had and the best friend anyone could hope for.”

Earlier this week, Judge appeared to signal her departure from “The Real Housewives of Orange County.”

“It’s been a long ride! When life presents real issues, this reality stuff doesn’t hold up,” she wrote in her Instagram story. “Peace out ✌️ I’m done.”

She also reacted with “Yes!!!” when a fan account inquired on Instagram if she was leaving.

Aside from these remarks, Judge hasn’t explicitly confirmed her exit from the show or clarified her reasons for leaving.

Judge joined “RHOC” during its third season in 2007 and was featured as a main cast member until Season 14. After a break during Seasons 15 and 16, she returned for Season 17.

She and her “RHOC” co-stars were recently seen at a dog parade in New Orleans, suggesting they were filming a cast trip for the show’s upcoming 19th season.

TODAY.com reached out to Bravo for a statement following Judge’s apparent quitting announcement on March 10 but did not receive a response.
