Tamra Judge has finally revealed all about the estrangement from her daughter, Sidney Barney in a heartbreaking new clip from the show, ‘Real Housewives of Orange County.’
In the same clip, Tamra also revealed that her daughter was not the only person she was ‘alienated’ from in her life, explaining, “I wasn’t alienated, but when my parents got divorced, I chose sides. I chose my mom’s side. I just kind of walked away from my dad. My dad was my hero.”
However, she also reveals that unlike the relationship with her daughter, she and her father were able to regain a semblance of a normal relationship, explaining, “My dad drove 10 hours to be here — and my mom didn’t show up. It hurts my feelings that my mom didn’t think it was important enough to show up.”
She also goes into detail on the depths of pain she’s feeling as a mother who has lost the most important relationship in her life – the relationship with her daughter. Tamra Judge reveals in the clip that others often tell her that her daughter, Sidney Barney, will be back in her life before she knows it, tearfully stating, “People tell you all the time, ‘Don’t worry. She’ll be back. She’ll figure it out. Every time someone tells me that I want to punch them in the throat and say, ‘Don’t worry. It won’t hurt long.’ And then I gotta punch them again.”
For those who haven’t been following the story carefully, Tamra first became estranged from her daughter after her divorce from Simon Barney (Sidney’s father) in 2011, although the two reconciled for two brief moments – once at the end of the Season 11 reunion, and then again for Sidney’s high school graduation.
However, it does seem like Tamra is holding out faith that before long, Sidney will return to her, explaining at the end of the clip, “I do believe that my daughter will be back one day, just like I believe your children will all be back one day. Love your children more than you hate your ex. Kids deserve to have both parents in their life.”
She also goes into detail over her divorce being one of the main causes of the estrangement, explaining that all of the important relationship troubles in her life could be traced back to divorce as the root cause. And at the end of the day, whatever the reason, she does seem genuinely distraught over the estrangement from her daughter, despite her cautious optimism that it will work itself out in the end. How much of that is exaggerated for the cameras and for The Real Housewives of Orange County, and how much is real, we can only guess at.
