A day after The Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson bowed out of Season 15, another shock came for fans. The second-longest cast member, Tamra Judge, is also done with the reality show before filming a new season even starts.

Bravo exec Andy Cohen DID promise cast shake-ups, but long-time viewers never expected to be a shake-up like this. TV Shows Ace reported speculation last week that Tamra had started filming Season 15 after being spotted with a camera crew.

However, now it turns out the Cut Fitness owner must have been filming something else.
