Tamra Judge Explains Why She Thinks RHOC Will Fail Without Out Her! Plus Tamra Shares An Update On Her Relationship With Former Co-Stars And Claims Andy Cohen Wants Her To Return Full-Time Next Season!

Last week, Tamra Judge appeared on Kelly Dillon’s podcast, Kickin’ Back with Kelly, where she spilled the tea on The Real Housewives of Orange County following her exit from the series and addressed her possible future return.

“[RHOC] has changed so much. It’s so different now [and] we’ve had so many cast members that didn’t work out,” Tamra told Kelly, according to Reality Blurb.

 Tamra revealed that she’s concerned about the show’s future because she believes it’s hard for cast members and viewers to get to know newbies.

“It’s hard for the viewers too. They’re not really invested,” Tamra said. “That’s my concern for the show right now. There’s a lot of new people on the show. A lot.”

Tamra announced her departure from the series after she was only offered a reduced role for the upcoming new season. Judge later revealed that she turned down the offer as she needs to focus on her husband Eddie's ongoing heart condition as well as her ex-husband Simon Barney's cancer battle. If you recall, Barney announced that he was diagnosed with stage 3 throat cancer.

According to Judge, Andy Cohen advised her that she should take “take the year off.”

“If you change your mind about it, you can film. If you don’t want to, you don’t have to. And then next year, you can come back full-time,” he said according to Tamra.

Despite her departure from the series, Tamra has no plans on staying away from reality television.

“Vicki and I have been approached to do a [reality] show together… on another network. It’s a great concept. I’m also talking to someone about doing a renovation show. To me, that is a dream job,” she shared.

As for making a cameo appearance on season 15 of RHOC, Tamra said, “I can’t say I will or I won’t” before revealing that she misses spending time with her former co-stars.

“Now that they are filming, I don’t get to see them as often. [Gina Kirschenheiter] and I would play tennis once a week. [Shannon Beador]’s about 30 minutes from me. I haven’t even seen her new house yet,” Tamra confessed. “In a small way, [I] miss them all. As dysfunctional as we were as friends and the way we called each other out and stuff, we were still friends.”

“Friends that I’ve kept would definitely be Shannon and Gina and Vicki,” Tamra continued. “I don’t really talk to [Emily Simpson]. I’ve never had a close relationship with her and [Kelly Dodd], no, we ended on a bad note. I don’t hate the girl, we’re just different.”
