‘RHOC’ Lizzie Rovsek Quits Season 10 after Tamra Barney Bullying? [NEWS]

While Lizzie Rovsek has no problem admitting that she and Tamra Barney Judge had a hard time ending their Season 9 feud even after the reunion finale recap aired, but insists that she and her Real Housewives of Orange County cast mate are actually getting along great. According to the latest gossip news updates, the 2014 rookie has turned down a chance to return as a fulltime costar in Season 10, however -- insisting she chose to take a smaller role to focus on her business.

When Tamra Barney first posted a picture to Instagram of The Real Housewives of Orange County 2015 wrap party sans Lizzie Rovsek, it seemed like the would-be fitness guru was once again not-so subtly picking on the reality TV newcomer again.

"That's a wrap! "Thank you @ozsgrlfitness I love how you did my hair @beblownaway (missing Vicki she had left right before this pic) #rhoc. Airing in June. @meghankedmonds @heatherdubrow @shannonbeador." It turns out that the Tamra's pic more accurately revels the new cast lineup than her caption implies, being that Lizzie Rovsek won't be a part of the show in the same way that Barney and the rest of the girls will. After posting her own wrap party photo to Instagram, Lizzie explained that she declined Bravo's invitation to return as a fulltime Housewife but promised her fans that she'd be in at least a few new episodes in Season 10:

."Yes I will be [returning], but not a full time HW. By choice."

"I love you guys. Don't worry you will still see me this season.

"Your support is everything."

Although it would be easy to point at Tamra Barney Judge constant bullying of Rovsek throughout Season 9 as the obvious cause of Lizzie's leaving the show, the Sunny Kitten swimsuit mogul insists that she and Tamra are closer today than they ever have been (via Enstarz):

"Tamra and I are great.

"We are in a really good place, we have been getting along and having a lot of fun. We had a great time on the trip together.

"Last year was pretty brutal, and we went through a really hard time even after we stopped filming, and, you know, today, I'm happy to say that we are getting along, and things are really good."

Let's just hope that Donald Trump isn't looking for any extra icing on the cake now that he's got Lizzie locked into the Miss America bathing suit deal.
