Tamra Judge was about to walk away from The Real Housewives of Orange County earlier this year.
She even announced her departure.
âIt was a long run!â the 57-year-old wrote on her Instagram story in March. âWhen life gives you real problems this reality s**t doesnât make sense.
âPeace out ⊠Iâm out.â
In an episode of Two Tâs In A Pod later that month, Tamra admitted, âThereâs so much going on in my life and itâs just I donât know.â
âI just just hit a wall and I feel like Iâm gonna be in a full depressed mode,â the mother of four detailed.
In a recent interview with Us Weekly at Alexis Bellinoâs bridal shower, she opened up about her mental state for the events of Season 19.
âGoing into filming, Teddi Mellencamp had just gotten diagnosed [with brain cancer]. I think people donât understand the other side of cancer,â Tamra told the outlet. âWhen your friends or your family member or somebody is diagnosed, you donât know whatâs gonna happen.
âWhen someone says you have stage four brain cancer â youâre having brain tumors removed from your head â itâs scary as hell.â
The podcast host described herself as âdevastatedâ seeing what Teddi Mellencamp was going through.
