Tamra Judge isn’t stepping away from The Real Housewives of Orange County after all.
The Bravo star was spotted filming for the Bravo show on Tuesday, March 18, alongside costar Heather Dubrow. According to the Bravo and Cocktails fansite, the pair sat down for a meal at Ospi in Costa Mesa, California.
While Judge, 57, has yet to confirm her official status with the show, the reality star admitted to being in a better space mentally during Tuesday’s episode of iHeartRadio’s “Two T’s in a Pod” podcast.
“I am home now in the OC,” she told cohost Dolores Catania. “I went to [Big Bear, California]. I ate. I slept 12 hours a night. I relaxed. We were snowed in one day, which made it amazing, and just relaxed. That’s all I did. And I’m telling you, I feel so much better.”
Catania, 54, said her friend looked “so much better” and “like the old Tamra.”
While Judge joked that she has some breakouts from some stress in her life, she replied, “I am home now. I feel better.” (Us Weekly has reached out to Bravo for comment regarding her status on the show.)
Earlier this month, Judge made headlines when she seemingly quit The Real Housewives of Orange County after filming a cast trip to New Orleans with Dubrow, 56, Shannon Beador, Katie Ginella, Gina Kirschenheiter, Jennifer Pedranti, Emily Simpson and Gretchen Rossi.
“It was a long run!” she wrote via her Instagram Story on March 9. “When life gives you real problems this reality s— doesn’t make sense. Peace out … I’m out.”
While appearing on her iHeartRadio podcast later in the week, Judge further explained her apparent decision to quit the show.
“I think I just hit a wall. There’s so much going on in my life and it’s just I don’t know,” Judge reflected while admitting that she’s been going to therapy. “I just just hit a wall and I feel like I’m gonna be in a full depressed mode.”
Judge has been part of The Real Housewives of Orange County cast since season 3. She briefly left after season 14 in 2019, but returned as a full-time Housewife on season 17, which premiered in 2023.
While the cast tries to keep storylines under wraps, Dubrow, 56, cryptically told Us in February that season 19 will delight fans.
“All I can tell you is you’re going to love this season,” she said at Cure Addiction Now’s Inaugural Fundraising Evening. “I can’t wait for you to see it.”
A premiere date for The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 has yet to be announced but past episodes are available to stream on Peacock.
