With Sophia, we talk all the time, and I tell her that I love her all the time.”*** ***“Unfortunately, Sidney’s on Simon’s side,” ***she added. ***“She doesn’t really speak to any of us. It’s difficult. It’s like your child’s dead, but they’re still alive.”*** As longtime RHOC fans know, [Tamra Judge](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-orange-county/tamra-barney/) and her daughter Sidney have been estranged since around 2015. At the RHOC season 11 reunion in 2016, Tamra revealed that Sidney had taken her dad, [Simon Barney](https://allabouttrh.com/2015/10/26/tamra-judge-tells-ex-simon-barney-shame-on-you-for-allegedly-faking-daughter-sidneys-facebook-post/)'s side in their 2011 divorce and cut her out of her life as a result. ***“My oldest daughter, Sidney, said, ‘I don’t want to live with you anymore. You’ve ruined my dad’s life,’”*** Tamra said at the time. ***“[She] left that day and has not come back.”*** While Tamra and Sidney remain estranged to this day, the Bravo star continues to champion her daughter's success from afar. ![Tamra Judge tosses napkin in fight on RHOC](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Screen-Shot-2023-07-20-at-6.36.52-AM.png)Tamra Judge tosses napkin in fight on RHOC ***“She’s doing amazing and — without crying, guys — that’s all I can wish for as a mom,” ***Tamra Judge said on  [Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast](https://pagesix.com/podcasts/virtual-reali-tea/) following the RHOC season 18 premiere.*** “She’s very successful; she’s in the film industry, as well, behind the camera. So she’s doing amazing things with her life, and that’s all I can really wish for.”*** ***“I mean, I can wish for more,”*** Tamra added, **“but it’s in God’s hands really. God’s timing.”** She also revealed that Sidney recently contacted her siblings, Sophia, 18, and Spencer, 23, which is a step in the right direction for the family. ***“She is reaching out to her brother and sister now, so that’s good news,”*** Tamra shared. ***“So we do have some progress.” *** [The Real Housewives of Orange County ](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-orange-county/)airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET. ## Thoughts on Tamra’s comments?
