Tamra Judge Reveals Shocking Firing from RHOC: “Go f— yourself”
UPDATE: In a startling revelation, Tamra Judge opened up about her firing from The Real Housewives of Orange County (RHOC), delivering a raw account of her emotions during the shocking moment. Judge’s candid remarks came during a recent episode of Vicki Gunvalson’s podcast, where both reality stars discussed their unexpected exits from the popular series.
Just announced: Judge recounted her abrupt dismissal ahead of Season 15 in early 2020, stating she received a call that producers had “decided to go in another direction.” Her reaction was anything but subdued. “And you know what I said? ‘Go f— yourself,’” Judge revealed, highlighting the intense emotions tied to the moment.
Meanwhile, Gunvalson shared her own devastating experience of being let go after Season 14 in 2019. She received the news while attending an insurance conference in Las Vegas with her then-fiancé, Steve Lodge. “It was horrible,” Gunvalson recalled, bursting into tears on the balcony, unsure if the call was meant for her. “I think I just got fired, but I think they have the wrong number,” she added, illustrating her shock.
Both women reflected on how sudden and painful their firings were, touching on the emotional toll it took on them. Gunvalson, a pioneer of the franchise, was later welcomed back to RHOC as a full-time cast member, a move that has sparked renewed interest in the series’ original dynamics.
Tamra Judge, too, made her return in Season 17, reigniting the infamous rivalry with Gretchen Rossi, which has captivated fans for years. Judge previously described her feelings about being fired during a panel at BravoCon 2022, revealing, “I was like, ‘Oh s—.’ Like, really? This is happening?” She candidly shared that in the aftermath, she was left “in a fetal position crying,” overwhelmed by the abrupt change in her reality.
The emotional journeys of both stars resonate with fans, as they grapple with the complexities of fame and personal loss in the spotlight. Their stories serve as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of reality television, where careers can change in an instant, leaving lasting impacts on those involved.
As the drama unfolds, fans are eager to see how these developments will influence future seasons of RHOC and the ongoing dynamics among the cast. Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving story, as these beloved personalities navigate the tumultuous waters of reality TV fame.
