Tamra Judge just admitted she partied a little too hard, and production wasn’t amused.
While appearing on Jeff Lewis Live, the Real Housewives of Orange County veteran revealed she was originally supposed to appear in the Ultimate Girls Trip season finale… until she wasn’t.
And according to Tamra, the reason was her own behavior.
“I filmed Ultimate Girls Trip. The first party, the 80’s party, and I was like, I’m on fire. I got jazz hands, like let’s go,” she said. “So I was maybe a little bit… because then I got pulled from the season finale.”
She trailed off, but the implication was clear: Tamra overdid it.
She went on to insinuate that production made the call to bench her from the finale even though she was physically in New York and ready to film. In Housewives terms, that’s not a small decision. Being removed from a finale isn’t scheduling drama — it’s a production intervention.
Tamra didn’t spell out exactly what crossed the line, but longtime viewers know her brand has always walked the edge between entertaining chaos and total derailment. The 80’s party apparently tipped the scale.
It’s not the first time Tamra’s energy has dominated a cast trip, but this is one of the rare times she’s openly admitting production stepped in. And that says a lot.
Ultimate Girls Trip is supposed to be a celebration series — iconic Housewives, nostalgia, fun, big personalities. For production to pull someone from the finale suggests things got messy enough that they didn’t want the chaos closing the season.
Tamra, of course, laughed it off in the retelling. But behind the humor is a reminder of the tightrope Housewives walk: be wild enough to make good TV, but not so wild that you become a liability.
Apparently, jazz hands crossed the line.
