Since announcing that she's not returning to The Real Housewives of Orange County over the weekend, Tamra Judge has been laying relatively low — until she and Andy Cohen caught up in an Instagram Live chat. In addition to discussing why she’s stepping away (“I just need a little bit of privacy”) and addressing the fact that she unfollowed Andy on Instagram (“It was my instinct”), Tamra also revealed what she’s up to now.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Thursdays at 9/8c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

“I’m just sitting at home studying my real estate because I need a new career,” she joked during their conversation, which was broadcast live on Instagram. “You are so funny, you’re the queen of CBD, what do you mean you need a new career?” responded Andy.

“No, I’ve been renewing my real estate license for like, I don’t know, three months, I’m just bored now, Andy, I don’t have a job!”

Ever the pragmatist, Andy kept it real, offering Tamra some sage advice: “Here’s the thing, if you went back to real estate I feel like it would be, like, a s--t ton of fans who were, like, you know, trying to get you to hang out with them."

And, yep, Tamra agreed — but explained why she’s even considering it in the first place. “I’m probably not going back to real estate, but I have to renew my license every four years and I always do it 'cause I’m always looking for a backup plan!”

Andy’s response: “ You know what, you’re smart!”

That she is, that she is. And whether she’ll be delving further into her CBD business, continuing working with Cut Fitness, or re-launching her real estate career — or doing all three — we’ll be watching.
