Andy Cohen is playing coy about Tamra Judge’s future on The Real Housewives of Orange County.
“I got the report of what happened last night,” Cohen, 56, said on the Monday, March 10, episode of SiriusXM’s Radio Andy. “All I will say is this. I can’t comment on what’s going on while we’re filming shows.”
On Sunday, March 9, Judge, 57, seemingly announced she was quitting The Real Housewives of Orange County while filming a cast trip in New Orleans.
“It was a long run!” she wrote via her Instagram Story. “When life gives you real problems this reality s— doesn’t make sense. Peace out … I’m out.”

Tamra Judge has a message for fans following Teddi Mellencamp’s recent brain tumor diagnosis. “Before we begin, maybe some of you have seen Teddi’s Instagram Stories. If not, I just want our listeners to know that she will be taking a brief sabbatical to deal with some health stuff,” Judge, 57, tearfully said on the […]
The next day, Judge posted a selfie from an undisclosed airport with the message, “Mental health is health.” (Us Weekly has reached out to Bravo for comment.)
Cohen was quick to remind listeners that Judge’s close friend, Teddi Mellencamp, is going through a serious health scare, which could have an impact on her outlook on filming season 19.
“I guess the only thing that is at the top of my mind is that one of her best friends, if not her best friend, is going through an incredibly intense health crisis,” he shared. “So maybe keep that in mind, otherwise I really don’t have anything to say on the subject.”
Although Bravo hasn’t confirmed the final cast for the new season, Judge has been spotted in New Orleans with castmates including Shannon Beador, Heather Dubrow, Katie Ginella, Gina Kirschenheiter, Jennifer Pedranti and Emily Simpson.
Gretchen Rossi, who was previously confirmed to return to the Real Housewives of Orange County as a “friend” of the group, was also photographed with the ladies attending the New Orleans Dog Parade.
In the middle of filming season 19, Judge learned Mellencamp, 43, was going to have surgery to remove brain tumors.
While the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star continues to recover from surgery at home, Judge is vowing not to share any personal updates about her close friend.

My heart goes out to her, the children, [her estranged husband] Edwin [Arroyave], everybody,” Gunvalson, 62, shared on the Tuesday, February 18, episode of the “My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast” […]
“You know, a lot of people are reaching out to me and they want me to get them an update,” Judge said during the February 19 episode of iHeartRadio’s “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast. “It’s not my place. What do you guys want me to do? Do you want me to take pictures from the hospital and post them? I’m not doing that.”
While speaking through tears, Judge added, “All I can do is pray on her and love her like all of her friends are doing. And that’s it.”
Fans first met Judge when she joined The Real Housewives of Orange County for its third season in 2008. The Vena CBD cofounder remained a main cast member on the reality series for 12 seasons until her exit in 2020, but she returned to the show in 2022 for season 17.
