Perspective
Before joining The Real Housewives of Orange County, Judge obtained her manicurist license, attending Covina Beauty College, and worked as a realtor on and off.[7][8] In 2007, it was announced that Judge would be joining the third season of The Real Housewives.[9] Judge stayed as a main cast member for twelve seasons until her departure in 2020 after the fourteenth season.[10] However, in 2022, Judge was announced to be returning to the seventeenth season of the show after a two season hiatus, officially announcing her return on Watch What Happens Live!.[11] Judge is currently tied with Kyle Richards from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as the only full-time cast members to be on their respective shows for 15 seasons.
In 2013, Tamra and her now husband Eddie appeared in the second The Real Housewives spin-off: Tamra's OC Wedding, where in three episodes, their wedding was documented.[12] In 2013, Judge and her husband Eddie founded a fitness studio called CUT Fitness, which was located in Rancho Santa Margarita, California.[13] They closed the fitness studio in 2022 after nearly ten years in business.[13]
In 2020, after her brief departure from The Real Housewives, Judge resumed her real estate career.[14] Along with continuing her career in real estate, she launched 'Vena CBD' with her husband. They began the business after Eddie's struggle with atrial fibrillation. The business title is derived from “Vena Cava,” in reference to the two largest veins in the human body that carry blood to the heart. Judge also started a podcast, named Two Ts In A Pod, with former The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave.[15]
In 2022, Judge appeared in season two as one of eight women on the reality television show The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, along with Taylor Armstrong, Brandi Glanville, Vicki Gunvalson, Eva Marcille, Dorinda Medley, Phaedra Parks and Jill Zarin.[16][17] In 2024, she appeared as a contestant on the second season of Peacock's reality competition series The Traitors.[18][19]
