Tamra Judge has confirmed that she will not be returning to 'Real Housewives of Orange County'. The reality star took to her Instagram to share the news.

Tamra posted a throwback picture with her husband, Eddie Judge as she captioned the image, "It's been a wild 12 years. But it's time for me to move on. I'm sad to go but I’m very excited about my future. Love you guys."

Following this announcement, producer, Andy Cohen also broke his silence on this. He wrote, "An unprecedented run from a woman who was always entertaining, surprising and dramatic – and never ever aged. And now she's the queen of CBD!"

Vicki Gunvalson also supported Tamra's decision to walk out of the show. She commented, "We have shared so many great and not so great times together and it has been the ride of our lives. Thelma and Louise ... now, where do you want to go?!"

Meanwhile, fans were upset to see another RHOC member walk out of the show. "So sad! It won't be the same without you!!" read one comment. 

Another added, "So wrong.... unbelievable. The ratings will tank...." However, Tamra is not the only member of the cast who is leaving. Vicki also confirmed on Friday that she would not be part of the show anymore.

Taking to her Instagram she wrote, "I will always be the OG of the OC, but it's time to say goodbye to The Real Housewives of Orange County."

"It's been an incredible ride for 14 years and I want to thank all of you for your support, for your love and for 'whooping it up' with me along the way. I've been working on new projects that will be exciting, empowering and inspirational," she shared.

She further revealed that her podcast would be starting soon, "I hope you will join me with my new journey so please stay tuned. I love all my fans, and I want to thank Bravo and Evolution for this incredible experience which my family and I have will never forget."
