Tamra Judge Unleashes Truth Bomb on Liz McGraw's Shocking Exit from 'RHORI'

Tamra Judge ripped into the real reason Liz McGraw vanished from "The Real Housewives of Rhode Island" after just one season.

Judge expressed her discontent over McGraw's unexpected exit during an appearance on a talk show, stating, "I don’t like it at all. I think she brought a lot [to the show]." The 58-year-old reality star revealed that McGraw struggled with intense social media backlash.

Judge, no stranger to public criticism herself, slammed the online trolls: "People need to chill. It’s TV. It’s entertainment. You don’t need to go for their children and their businesses and write bad Yelp reviews and send death threats."

McGraw, aged 56, announced her decision to step back from the series earlier this month, citing a need to focus on her family, work, and passions.

In her Instagram farewell, she praised the "RHORI" cast as an "amazing group of women who have created something special," vowing to support the franchise in its future seasons.

Speculation swirled around McGraw's exit due to legal troubles involving her close friend Dino Guilmette, who faces eight drug-related charges stemming from a March 2022 arrest.

McGraw quickly dismissed rumors linking her departure to Guilmette's issues, stating, "It’s fascinating to me how everyone assumes my reason for leaving involves being afraid of ‘skeletons’ …’jail,’ etc." This came just hours after she announced her exit.

She further clarified, "This is not new gossip … it has been the local slander for YEARS. If there were even an ounce of validity to it, I’d not have ever gone on a show! I realize that for some, it feels good to speculate, hate and defame my character, but I have never been investigated, nor involved in ANY criminal case. It’s preposterous and people should know how utterly ridiculous it sounds."

"The Real Housewives of Rhode Island" secured a renewal for Season 2 shortly after its debut season aired. The upcoming season is set to film this summer and features Jo-Ellen Tiberi, "Bachelor" alum Ashley Iaconetti, Rosie DiMare, Rulla Nehme Pontarelli, Alicia Carmody, and Kelsey Swanson.

The first season of "The Real Housewives of Rhode Island" is currently available for streaming.
