Tamra Judge leaving ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’

Tamra Judge is leaving "The Real Housewives of Orange County" after 12 seasons, the star of the Bravo series said in an Instagram post Saturday.

"It's been a wild 12 years. But it's time for me to move on," Judge wrote on Instagram. "I'm sad to go but I'm very excited about my future."

Judge is currently the longest-running full-time cast member in "Housewives" history, People reported. She joined the show during its third season in 2007, according to the magazine.

Judge's announcement comes a day after fellow co-star Vicki Gunvalson also announced she was leaving the reality television show, E! Online reported.

Judge said she was looking forward to life after the series.

"It's been a wild ride, and after all these years, I'm looking forward to life away from the cameras," Judge told People. "I was offered a chance to come back to the show in a limited role, but would prefer to walk away on my own terms."

Judge has been part of the show's most memorable moments, including the show's first wine toss, People reported. She also starred in a three-episode spinoff of the series, "Tamra's OC Wedding," which documented her June 2013 wedding to Eddie Judge.

"I want to thank all the fans who have offered me their support over the years," she told People. "It's meant a lot."
