On Her RHOC Return: I DIDN'T KNOW WHO TO TRUST

The OG star reflects on revisiting the series after a two-year break

- TAMRA JUDGE

Tamra Judge admits she had a little bit of trepidation about returning to The Real Housewives of Orange County. "When I got the call to come back, I was like, 'Yes, this is what I've wanted," says the 55-year-old, who was a series regular for 12 seasons before getting the boot in 2020. "Then after I accepted, I thought, 'Oh, s---! What am I doing? I'm going right back into this, but I don't know who my friends are or where my place is." Here, the former fitness club owner and co-host of the podcast Two Ts in a Pod talks to In Touch's Fortune Benatar about figuring out who to trust in Season 17, where she currently stands with her castmates, and how she and husband Eddie keep the romance alive after 10 years of marriage.

What was it like going back to the show?

TJ: It was a little strange. A lot was said about me. A lot of people said they danced on my grave. One person said on their podcast there was no place for me anymore.
