Tamra Judge’s Shocking RHOC Exit: Andy Cohen Weighs In Amid Personal Struggles and Teddi Mellencamp’s Health Crisis – All About The Real Housewives
1
In a stunning turn of events, Tamra Judge revealed on March 9th that she’s leaving The Real Housewives of Orange County. Taking to Instagram, the longtime cast member shared a brief but powerful message: “It was a long run! When life gives you real problems this reality sh*t doesn’t make sense. Peace out ?? Im out.” The cryptic post, dropped with little explanation, left fans speculating about her reasons for stepping away. However, the timing of her exit is far from ordinary.
On Andy Cohen Live later the next day on Sirius XM, Andy Cohen responded to the news, offering a perspective that hints at deeper, more personal reasons behind Tamra’s decision. “I got the report of what happened last night. All I will say is this, I can’t comment on what’s going on, in you know while we’re filming shows,” Cohen said. “I guess the only thing that, the 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. So maybe keep that in mind, otherwise I really don’t have anything to say on the subject.”
Cohen’s remarks point to the serious health struggles that Tamra’s close friend, Teddi Mellencamp, is currently facing. Teddi, a former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, revealed just days earlier that she her cancer has spread, a battle that has understandably taken a toll on her and her loved ones.
As Tamra confirmed her departure from RHOC to a fan account, she also posted a photo of herself at the airport on March 10th, leaving New Orleans while the rest of the cast remained behind to continue filming the show’s 19th season.
Tamra also added a “mental health is health,” to the photo indicating she is putting her mental health first and sharing that with her social media following.
