“She’s still very good friends with Shannon (Beador) and wishes her the very best. She’s ‘done’ for now and enjoying focusing on her Coto Insurance business and her clients, planning trips to see her grandsons in North Carolina and getting ready to close escrow on her new home in Puerto Vallarta. She’ll be focused on her new podcast Whoop it Up with Vicki and excited to see what life will be like without RHOC. She’s excited for what’s to come. She was filming with Tamra on a secret project and is excited to share with you what that will be in a few months.”
“Production hasn’t been informed of Tamra’s potential plans to film here and there for this season,” the insider revealed. “She hasn’t notified them of anything nor has she signed anything yet. It’s all still up in the air.”
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.
