But being one of the most recognizable faces of the show didn’t help Judge to remain a full-time cast member. Before production for season 15 began, Judge was in the same situation as her RHOC co-star and pal, Vicki Gunvalson, in that she was to be given a part-time role in the series. Like Gunvalson, Judge felt left out and decided to exit the show in February, this year.
