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.
Even though Judge did not elaborate on her decision to leave the show, she did confirm the news to a reality fan page that inquired about her departure.
“Yes!!!” Judge responded in the comments.
A reliable source informed People that Judge is currently enjoying a group trip to New Orleans with her fellow cast members, including Shannon Storms Beador, Emily Simpson, Jennifer Pedranti, Heather Dubrow, Gina Kirschenheiter, and Katie Ginella.
Judge has been a constant presence on RHOC, featuring on the show since Season 3. She took a brief break in Season 14 but made a comeback 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.
