REAL Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge is reportedly in talks of coming back to the show as a “friend” after being fired last month.
A source close to the show’s production said that executives want Tamra to “spice things up.”
An informant exclusively talked to RadarOnline.com about how Tamra had been offered three episodes for the upcoming season, but she rejected them.
However, Tamra and the producers are coming to a compromise. The source said: “Tamra is working out a deal that would bring her back for more than three episodes for between $20-25,000,000 each.”
“She didn’t like just being on three episodes. She was being phased out and she knew it and wanted to control the narrative.”
The informant also talked about how Tamra was being considered for the show again after filming with the current housewives wasn’t going so great.
The source said: “They need her to spice it up.”
Tamra has been one of the wildest housewives in the past couple of scenes.
Fans have seen her skinny-dip in Mexico multiple times, fall into some bushes after downing a couple of tequila shots, and even kissed on some of the other housewives.
News of Tamra quitting the show came in January, just a couple of hours after Vicki Gunvalson announced she was quitting.
It was late revealed that the gym owner was actually fired over her high salary.
She told her ex-boss Andy Cohen: “I’m not cheap Andy, and that’s why I got fired!”
Tamra admitted that she didn’t take the news well and said: “It’s kind of like a death. I’ve been in the Bravo family for 12 years. I’m a red-headed stepchild now. It is what it is. It’s a very long run.
“I’ve been crying for three days. I haven’t slept or eaten. But I’ll be alright.”

The Sun reported executives attempted to demote her because her salary was too high for her stale storyline.
The insider said: “She was making too much money after so many seasons.
“It wasn’t worth it to them anymore to keep her full-time.”
She also recently revealed that ex-husband Simon Barney’s cancer diagnosis also played a role in her leaving the show, as she wanted to focus on bigger things.
