Tamra Judge opens up to ET’s Brice Sander about season 19 of ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County,’ airing Thursdays on Bravo and streaming on Peacock. The longtime orange-holder explains her decision to briefly quit the show mid-filming in March, while on a cast trip to New Orleans and how her podcast co-host, Teddi Mellencamp (who is battling cancer), encouraged her to stick it out and return. She breaks the fourth wall to defend her perceived attacks on Jenn Pedranti and weighs in on Katie Ginella’s many alleged lies. She also unpacks her reignited feud with Gretchen Rossi, who returned to the series as a ‘friend of’ the cast after 12 years away from ‘RHOC.’
