\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tOn Sunday, March 9, Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge appeared to suggest she\u2019s done with the show \u2014 and she\u2019s not the only cast member who has unexpectedly quit mid-season. \u201cIt was a long run! When life gives you real problems this reality s\u2014 doesn\u2019t make sense. Peace out \u2026 I\u2019m out,\u201d [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Judge explained that this year has not been off to a good start for her recently and she can\u2019t get out of the funk she\u2019s been in despite seeking professional help.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just so mad at myself because I feel like I just can\u2019t pull myself out of the funk. Well, I\u2019m usually pretty good of just pulling myself out, and I\u2019ve been saying it for a while now,\u201d she said. \u201cI just can\u2019t pull myself out of this. I
can\u2019t pull myself out of this. And it was just 2025 has been a real doozy. It\u2019s just been one thing after another.\u201d<\/p>\n
Judge shared that she went into filming this season of RHOC<\/em> amid her personal struggles. However, it all got to be too much for her.<\/p>\n\u201cI went into the season not knowing, not sure, very anxious and just dealing with some stuff through therapy, and
you know that really breaks you down to your lowest point,\u201d she admitted. \u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018Should I just quit?
Because it\u2019s just I feel like it\u2019s breaking me down.’\u201d<\/p>\n
Judge added that Mellencamp\u2019s health issues have also taken a heavy toll on her. However, her podcast cohost has still been by her side through this rough patch.<\/p>\n
\u201cTeddi gave me a pep talk and that is like the first time I\u2019ve laughed in so long. Like, we laughed, and she just yelled at me and said, \u2018Listen to me, I have to be bald and fat right now and going through this. You get your ass back over there,’\u201d she recalled. \u201cI just started laughing. So I think I\u2019m going to see her today. I think that\u2019s gonna pull little bit of spark back into me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Catania then addressed the speculation that Judge had exited RHOC, telling Judge, \u201cThe word on the street is you just need a little break.\u201d<\/p>\n
Judge, for her part, agreed that was the case.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah. When I get like this, my body just shuts down, It just completely shuts down,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I can
just sit in one place and just stare at the wall for hours. And that\u2019s how I feel and it\u2019s really hard to film like that when you feel like that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n![\"Tamra](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Tamra-Judge-Addresses-Her-RHOC-Future-After-Claiming-She-Quit-the-Show-1.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")
