Getty Tamra Judge in 2014
During a recent interview, former Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge finally broke her silence about potentially returning to the franchise. Although Judge was fired from the franchise ahead of Season 15, some fans have voiced that they would like to see her return. So, would she ever come back?
“It’s not one of those things where I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m dying to go back.’ And it depends on the cast,” Judge revealed recently to Us Weekly. “If it’s a good cast, then yeah, but if it’s a really bad cast, it can really change things and make it not fun and not worth the stress. But, I mean, I would love to see Heather [Dubrow] come back. I would like to come back with Heather and get rid of some of the people that are currently on the show that just have been played out.”
Judge was a member of The Real Housewives of Orange County during Seasons 3-14. Judge first announced her departure in January 2020, telling People at the time, “It’s been a wild ride, and after all these years, I’m looking forward to life away from the cameras. I was offered a chance to come back to the show in a limited role, but would prefer to walk away on my own terms.”
Tamra Judge Doesn’t Want to See the Series End
Even though Judge may not be on the show anymore, it doesn’t mean that she wants to see the franchise come to an end anytime soon. “I heard so many rumors that they’re going to recast the show, that they’re going to cancel it,” Judge said to Us Weekly. “They’re going to delay it. So, I really don’t know. I don’t have any inside information, that’s for sure. I don’t want to see Orange County get canceled.”
Judge continued, “I was a big part of that show being successful and I’m hoping that they can carry that on, whatever that means. People keep going, ‘You’re going back, you’re going back,’ and I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t know if I’ll be asked back.”
