'Real Housewives Of Orange County' Season 15 Cast Update: Here's Who Made The Cut

It seems like the dust has settled when it comes to the cast of "The Real Housewives of Orange County."

After some cryptic comments and two major cast exits, fans now know who made the cut for Season 15 of the series. According to an Us Weekly insider, Emily Simpson, Shannon Beador, Gina Kirschenheiter, Kelly Dodd and Braunwyn Windham-Burke were all asked back.

Longtime cast members Vicki Gunvalson (The OG of the OC) and Tamra Judge announced their departures from the show over the weekend on social media.

Tamra revealed that she was actually a bit distraught about the casting shake-up in a candid conversation on Instagram Live with Bravo producer Andy Cohen on Jan. 27.

"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," she said. "I’ve been crying for three days. I haven’t slept or eaten. But I’ll be alright."

The exit of these two iconic "RHOC" ladies leaves some big shoes to fill for any potential new "Housewives." While there has been no official word on who will take on the challenge, a few names have been thrown around in speculation.

Season 15 of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" should air later this year.
