Real Housewives of Orange County alums Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge are reportedly banned from television for a year due to their iron-clad contracts, according to Radar Online. “Vicki and Tamra have a one-year non-compete clause in their contracts,” an insider revealed.
The source told Radar Online, “they will have to get special permission to film any other television shows for the next year.”
However, Judge and Gunvalson deny the report thanks to a screengrab via Reality Blub.
"Lies," Gunvalson responded to the report via Twitter.
Judge also responded to the report via Twitter by simply adding, "Total lie."
Vicki announced her departure from RHOC in a post on Instagram on January 24. "I will always be the OG of the OC, but it’s time to say goodbye to The Real Housewives of Orange County. It’s been an incredible ride for 14 years and I want thank all of you for your support, for your love and for 'whooping it up' with me along the way," she wrote. "I hope you will join me with my new journey so please stay tuned. I love all my fans, and I want to thank Bravo and Evolution for this incredible experience which my family and I will never forget."
The next day after Vicki's announcement, Tamra Judge also confirmed that she will not be returning as to RHOC. “It’s been a wild 12 years,” Tamra wrote in a post on Instagram on January 25. “But it’s time for me to move on. I’m sad to go but I’m very excited about my future.”
According to Us Weekly, Braunwyn Windham-Burke, Emily Simpson, Gina Kirschenheiter, Kelly Dodd and Shannon Beador have all been asked back for Season 15.
The ladies have yet to officially start filming the new season and they will be joined by new cast members.
