Tamra Judge poked fun at The Real Housewives of Orange County cast following her early exit from their cast trip to New Orleans.

After announcing her short-lived departure from the Bravo reality series amid an episode earlier this month, Tamra, 57, surfaced on Instagram following last week’s episode to highlight the drama that ensued after she left, which focused on Katie Ginella, 41, and her communication with bloggers, and suggested that the ladies couldn’t carry the show without her.

“Leaving the cast trip in tears… but then watching their alliance crumble,” Tamra wrote in the caption of an August 26 video that saw her covering her eyes with her hand and making a funny face at the camera.

She also included an additional caption, which read, “Being called a liar by liars is almost a compliment,” and she appeared to signal claims led by Gretchen Rossi, 46.

Following the sharing of the post, one fan pointed out that Tamra was very much a part of last week’s episode, despite her temporary departure from the show.

“They couldn’t even hold [one] episode without you. The trip was over the moment you left,” they wrote, prompting Tamra to respond with three crying while laughing emojis.

Stephanie Shojaee, 40, of The Real Housewives of Miami, also weighed in, posting her own crying while laughing emoji.

Meanwhile, others were more critical of Tamra, with another person writing, “You need a better therapist. This one’s not working.”

“My therapist is amazing,” Tamra clapped back.

Someone else agreed with the follower’s concern about Tamra’s therapy and sarcastically said, “I see that therapy is really working for you.”

But Tamra insisted, “Yes, it’s working. Doesn’t mean it takes away my sense of humor.”

Comments on the post have since been limited.

The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
