Andy Cohen is addressing speculation surrounding Tamra Judge’s potential departure from The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Andy Cohen Responds to Tamra’s Exit Rumors
“I got the report of what happened last night. All I will say is this, I can’t comment on what’s going on, you know, while we’re filming shows,” Cohen said.
He continued, “I guess the only thing that is at the top of my mind is that one of her best friends, if not her best friend, is going through an incredibly intense health crisis. So maybe keep that in mind, otherwise I really don’t have anything to say on the subject.”
Cohen’s comments came one day after Tamra shared a cryptic message on her Instagram Stories, sparking speculation that she was leaving RHOC.
Tamra’s Emotional Instagram Post
On Sunday, March 9, Tamra posted a message to her Instagram Stories that left fans wondering about her future on the show.
“It was a long run!” she wrote. “When life gives you real problems, this reality s— doesn’t make sense.”
She concluded her message with, “Peace out 
I’m out.”
Tamra has been a staple on RHOC since joining the franchise in 2008. After taking a brief hiatus, she returned for Season 17.
Supporting Teddi Mellencamp Amid Health Battle
Tamra’s Instagram post comes as her close friend and Two T’s in a Pod podcast cohost, Teddi Mellencamp, 43, continues to battle serious health challenges.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star recently revealed that she had been diagnosed with multiple brain tumors and has undergone surgeries to remove them.
“Maybe some of you have seen Teddi’s Instagram Stories,” Tamra said on the February 12 episode of their podcast. “If not, I just want our listeners to know that she will be taking a brief sabbatical to deal with some health stuff. I’ll allow Teddi to tell her story when she’s back, but you all know how much she loves this podcast and wants nothing more than for us to continue on recording.”
Tamra added, “While she focuses on her health, we want to thank you for your continued love and support. It’s been a tough night.”
At the time, Tamra was still filming RHOC Season 19.
Tamra’s Heartfelt Message to Teddi
On the same day, Tamra shared a touching Instagram post dedicated to Teddi.
“Join me in praying for @teddimellencamp as she goes into surgery today,” she wrote alongside an Instagram carousel featuring sentimental images.
The first photo showed the two women sitting together on a sofa, matching in blonde hair and denim jeans, with Teddi kissing Tamra on the cheek. In another image, Tamra posed with her three children—Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 5—whom she shares with her husband, Edwin Arroyave.
Tamra continued, “Please also pray over her beautiful kids. Teddi Jo, I love you so much and can’t imagine my life without you — you’re the little sister I never had and the best friend anyone could ask for. Sending all the love, positive vibes, and healing energy your way.”
Teddi’s Latest Health Update
On Thursday, March 6, Teddi provided another update, revealing that doctors had discovered three additional tumors in her brain and two in her lungs.
Over the past two years, she has had “17 melanoma spots removed.” She shared that she would begin “immunotherapy on Tuesday, March 11,” to continue her treatment.
She concluded her message by saying, “Now, as @bravoandy would say: with all due… f*** off, cancer!”
What’s Next for Tamra?
Tamra has not publicly confirmed whether she is officially leaving RHOC. With her close friend’s health battle weighing on her, fans are left wondering whether she is stepping back to focus on personal matters.
While Cohen remained tight-lipped on the situation, Tamra’s emotional posts have left viewers questioning whether she will return for Season 19 or walk away for good.
