Tamra Judge is showing support for her former Real Housewives of Orange County costar Meghan King.
After Us Weekly exclusively reported that King, 41, lost custody of her three children with ex-husband Jim Edmonds following a Child Protective Services investigation, Judge, 58, shared her reaction on social media.
King and Judge were costars on The Real Housewives of Orange County from seasons 10 through 12.

When King announced her departure from the Bravo reality series in January 2018, she reflected on the friendships she had formed, including with Judge.
“I have made soul sisters in Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge, and that can’t be lost,” she wrote on her blog. “They have touched my heart, and I would do anything for them and I know they feel the same way about me. What a gift to have found that on RHOC!”
Although King has not appeared on Bravo in years, she has recently made headlines while living in Missouri.
Multiple sources told Us Weekly that the decision to strip King of physical custody was made in the past few months. She shares her 8-year-old daughter, Aspen, and 7-year-old twins, Hart and Hayes, with ex-husband Jim Edmonds, 55.
King has been granted supervised visitation, while Edmonds has sole physical custody. According to sources, the decision is temporary, with a hearing scheduled in December to determine whether the custody arrangement will become permanent.

King has not publicly addressed the current custody situation.
This is not the first time Judge has offered public support for her former costar.
After Edmonds filed for divorce in October 2019, ending their five-year marriage, King received encouragement from Judge.
“Big hugs,” the Two T’s in a Pod podcast host commented on an Instagram post. “You are a strong woman, Megs. Love you.”
As King navigates another challenging chapter in her life, she is receiving support from fellow costars.
In a TikTok video posted on Wednesday, November 19, Kelly Dodd praised her former costar, calling her “an excellent mother.”
“I just pray that she gets her babies back,” Dodd who appeared on multiple seasons of RHOC with King added. “Everyone, just pray for Meghan and her family. Those boys and that daughter need their mom. They need their mother, and it’s terrible what is going on right now.”

Although King generally keeps her children off social media, she recently shared a glimpse of a special celebration this past summer.
While celebrating Hayes and Hart’s 7th birthday, King posted a family photo that did not include Edmonds.
“This is the third time they’ve had their bday party @epiphanylanes! Birthdays 4, 5, and now 7!” she wrote on Instagram on June 7. “Fun fact: Hayes was born about 45 minutes before Hart. When Hayes arrived, I immediately named him ‘Hart.’ Then Hart arrived, and I said, ‘This one is Hart.’ So I switched their names. They love the story about when they used to have the other one’s name 💞 👥.”
