Tamra Judge told Dolores Catania how Teddi Mellencamp‘s health crisis has made her depressed.
On the Two Ts In A Pod podcast, Tammy Sue explained why she ‘quit’ Real Housewives of Orange County during a cast trip in New Orleans.
Dolo addressed Tamra quitting, then allegedly taking it back. “The word on the street is you just need a little break.”
“Yeah,” agreed the controversial RHOC star. When I get like this, my body just shuts down. And I can just sit in one place and just stare at the wall for hours. And that’s how I feel. It’s really hard to film when you feel like that.”
Tamra ‘quit’ RHOC because she was depressed:
“I think I just hit a wall. There’s so much going on in my life. I don’t know.” Despite going to therapy, she is struggling with some “personal things,” explained the longest running Real Housewife of any franchise.
“I feel like I’m gonna be in a full depressed mode.” For Tamra, 2025 hasn’t started well. “I’m just so mad at myself because I feel like I just can’t pull myself out of the funk. Well, I’m usually pretty good of just pulling myself out, and I’ve been saying it for a while now. I just can’t pull myself out of this. 2025 has been a real doozy. It’s just been one thing after another.”
“I went into the season not knowing, not sure, very anxious and just dealing with some stuff through therapy, and you know that really breaks you down to your lowest point. I’m like, ‘Should I just quit? Because it’s just I feel like it’s breaking me down.’”
Teddi talk:
Tamra added that her TWOTS co-star’s health issues have taken a heavy toll on her. Despite the former RHOBH star battling brain cancer, she’s supporting her friend. “Teddi gave me a pep talk and that is like the first time I’ve laughed in so long.”
“We laughed, and she just yelled at me and said, ‘Listen to me, I have to be bald and fat right now and going through this. You get your *ss back over there.’ I just started laughing.”
“So, I think I’m going to see her today. I think that’s gonna put a little bit of spark back into me.”
