Tamra Judge Wraps RHOC Season 19: ‘Roughest Year Ever’

Tamra Judge is relieved that filming for The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 is complete.

“I don’t have to film and now I’m going to feel like s*** for a little bit,” Tamra, 57, said on the Tuesday, May 6, episode of iHeartRadio’s “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast, noting to cohost Teddi Mellencamp that she was feeling under the weather. “It is what it is, but yeah, very excited to be done.”

“I’m not going to tell you anything that happened,” Tamra teased. “But I want you to be totally surprised. Roughest year ever for me.”
