Darn, just when we thought we were rid of Tamra Judge and bringing fresh blood into the “Real Housewives of Orange County”. Creator of the franchise, Andy Cohen is confirming that Tamra Judge will be on the next season of the popular reality show. After 12 seasons on the show, Tamra decided to quit (according to her) because Andy wanted to demote her to friend of the show. To be honest, she is lucky she wasn’t fired altogether. Reality shows are known for shaking up their cast, they go where the drama goes and sometimes the producers even listen to the audience to guide how their show will continue.
In this case, they listened for about five seconds. Fans rejoiced when Tamra announced she was quitting the show she basically threw a tantrum for being demoted. It looks like Tamra got what she wanted, while appearing on “Jeff Lewis Live”, Tamra confirmed that Andy told her she will be filming for this upcoming fifteenth season of the show. She must have a fulltime role because Andy told her to not sign any new contracts meaning he doesn’t want anything in the way of him getting those juicy scenes.

“It was a job to me,” said Tamra on the SiriusXM show. “When this job ended, I never thought, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m going to get another show,’ because I don’t have agents.” Show host Jeff Lewis offered up a reason as to why Tamra was possibly fired from the show in the first place and it had nothing to do with the demotion. He believes it’s all about money and cutting cost. “I think it’s all about money [and] that advertisers are not paying what they used to,” Said Jeff. “I don’t think it’s as profitable as it was and I think they have to go through and they have to cost-cut.”

Tamra stated that during the reunion she had a “feeling in her guy” that this would be the last season for her. “You can tell my behavior at the reunion was very subdued,” Judge said during a an interview with “People.” “I didn’t want to fight with anybody. My mind was not there at all. I hadn’t told production about Simon, so they didn’t fully understand what was wrong with me. But I told Shannon [Beador], ‘I feel like this is my last season.’ In my gut, I knew I wouldn’t come back.

The “Cut Fitness” owner now has to eat her words. It isn’t sure yet in what capacity she will return but we can assume it is as more than friend of the show since that was one of the reasons why she quit. Tamra is now claiming that the other reason why she supposedly quit the show is because her ex-husband and father of some of her kids Simon Barney was diagnosed with throat cancer. She wants to be able to be there full-time for her kids while they go through this battle with their father.
