What happened to Tamra on The Real Housewives of Orange County

According to Radar Online, Tamra Judge left the show because the makers had planned to demote her role and appearance. The report mentioned that Tamra got her to pick up a contract letter last after the other ladies and it also had several major conditions in it. The report said, “She was even more than demoted to a friend role. She’d have very little camera time. And it meant she would earn next to nothing in reality TV terms.” In terms of her income, she would have received a huge pay cut of earning $900,000 a season to $60,000 for a total of three appearances.

This is said to be one of the biggest reasons for Tamra Judge’s exit from the show. In an interview on Radio Andy's Jeff Lewis Live, Tamra Judge had revealed that she was also considering exiting the show as she had just found out about her ex-husband Simon Barney being diagnosed with stage 3 throat cancer. She had revealed that she was a mess and had been crying in the dressing room too. It seems like there were problems behind both professional and personal front behind Tamra Judge’s exit from the show.
