Will "The Real Housewives of Orange County" return to Bravo Tv next year without Tamra Judge? According to a new report, the longtime reality star and mother of four, who has been starring on the Bravo TV reality series for the past several seasons, is considering walking away from her television career.
Tamra Judge is "thinking of not coming back,” a source told Page Six on Dec. 6. As the outlet explained, Judge had a rough year on the show due to her estrangement from her oldest daughter, 18-year-old Sidney Barney. As fans will recall, Judge's relationship with Barney became strained after she parted ways with former husband Simon Barney and later married her now-husband, Eddie Judge.
Tamra Judge and her daughter briefly reconciled
During "The Real Housewives of Orange County" Season 13, Tamra Judge and Sidney Barney briefly reconciled and when the teenager graduated from high school this past spring, the reality star was invited to attend the event along with Barney's siblings and her father. On the show, viewers watched as Judge prepared for the event while expressing her frustration at not being able to get ready with her daughter, who hasn't lived with her for the past several years.
Tamra Judge and her daughter posed for a series of photos at the child's graduation, but at first, it didn't appear that the reality star was in attendance because she wasn't seen in any of the images posted on Simon Barney's account.
Then, a short time later, against her daughter's wishes, Judge proved she was in attendance by posting a family photo that featured her daughter and ex-husband on Instagram.
Sidney Barney doesn't want to live her life in the public eye
Since Tamra Judge and her former husband divorced, Sidney Barney has frequently made it clear that she does not want to be seen or spoken about on social media or on "The Real Housewives of Orange County." Unfortunately, Judge has struggled to abide by her daughter's wishes and continued to make their strained relationship a hot topic on the Bravo TV reality show.
They said, the reality star reportedly wants to make amends with their daughter and continues to reach out to her in hopes of making it happen.
If Tamra Judge does decide to return to her full-time role on "The Real Housewives of Orange County" next year, she is expected to rejoin her former co-stars, including Vicki Gunvalson, Shannon Beador, and Kelly Dodd, for Season 13.
