Tamra Judge is a current main cast member on The Real Housewives of Orange County and also starred as an "All Star" during the second season of, The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip.

Casting[]

Judge joined the show in its third season and appeared all the way up until its fourteenth before parting ways with the show upon its conclusion. Judge’s ex-husband, Simon, had been diagnosed with cancer which made her “re-evaluate her life” plus the fact that the network felt Judge’s salary was “too high to continue” which led to a mutual decision upon her exit and departure.

However, after a big decline in ratings and many fans calling for her return, Judge returned for the show’s seventeenth season and is filming for the show’s eighteenth season too.

Tamra has also appeared on The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip, as an “All Star” in the show’s second series - as part of the “Ex-Wives Club” group which was filmed during Judge’s break as a housewife.

Background[]

RHOC[]

Tamra joined The Real Housewives of Orange County in season three. She speaks her mind, even when it's shocking, and is the first to admit that her mouth often gets her in trouble. Recently she picked up part-time work doing real estate short sales, and is also launching a makeup line with her plastic surgeon, Dr. Ambe. Meanwhile, Simon has gone back to work selling luxury cars. Although financially strapped, the Barneys do see a light at the end of the tunnel thanks to hard work and sticking together. Their relationship has its ups and downs, and Tamra is put in the difficult position of having to choose between her marriage and a close friendship. Tamra's oldest son Ryan also continues to put the couple at odds as he tries to find his way, working as a marketing representative for a vitamin company. However, he defaults on a number of traffic violations that get him in trouble with the law – and Simon.

A three-part special, and the first ever RHOC spin-off, premiered in September 2013 which followed Tamra as she prepared and executed her much-anticipated wedding to Eddie Judge.
