Tamra Judge is taking credit for the ratings increase seen amid the recently aired 18th season of The Real Housewives of Orange County.
Following the publication of a report that confirmed the season drew in its biggest audience in five years, Tamra, 57, took to her Instagram Story, where she declared “she’s still got it” and complained that her “back hurts” from carrying the latest season of the Bravo reality show.
At the end of last week, Tamra and producer Alex Baskin shared a joint post in which they included a screenshot of The Wrap’s article about the ratings of RHOC season 18, which featured Tamra, Heather Dubrow, 55, Shannon Beador, 60, Gina Kirschenheiter, 40, Emily Simpson, 48, Jennifer Pedranti, 47, and Katie Ginella, 40, in full-time roles, and Alexis Bellino, 47, as a “friend.”
“She’s still got it!” their post stated as it tagged the full cast.
Then, in a separate post, Tamra reshared a Story from Queens of Bravo that suggested she’d carried the season.
“My back hurts,” Tamra agreed.
Following the sharing of the posts, Jennifer took to her own Story, where she reshared Alex’s message, along with one of her own.
“So proud to be a part of this!!!” she stated, along with a clapping emoji.
As RHOC fans may know, Jennifer began starring on the show in 2023 amid its 17th season. Meanwhile, Tamra first appeared in seasons three through 14 before taking two seasons off and returning in 2023 for season 17.
No word yet on when production will begin on the potential 19th season of The Real Housewives of Orange County.
