For four years, The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Tamra Judge and ex-husband Simon Barney have been embattled in a bitter custody dispute over their daughter, Sidney. In March, Tamra and Simon settled on the custody dispute , which gave Simon full custody of their daughter. But the drama is far from over. According to Radar Online, Sidney herself recently spoke to a judge, begging him to stop forcing her to see her mother. Court documents disclose that 16-year-old Sidney appeared at her parents’ most recent court date on August 24 in Orange County. There, Sidney “expressed a desire to speak with the court.” Sidney moved in with her father in October 2013, and he’s been fighting for full custody rights since. The teen was appalled to learn that the court recently ordered Tamra and Sidney to attend therapy together. In fact, she was so distraught over going to therapy with her mother, that Sidney asked the judge to change the decision . As stated in the court documents, Sidney was “extraordinary [sic] reluctant to see and have a relationship with her mother.” Could Simon be putting his daughter up to this??? According to the documents, he had nothing to do with Sidney’s meeting with the judge. The court documents later mention that “it is clear” that Sidney “does NOT wish to participate and will not go to ‘Overcoming Barrios’ [sic] with her mother.” Overcoming Barriers, according to its website, is a single-day family intervention program used “when children resist contact with a parent.” Surprisingly, the judge heard Sidney and decided that “it is not in the best interest” of Sidney to attend the program with Tamra. This isn’t the first time Sidney has been candid about her feeling toward her mother. In April 2014, she vehemently attacked her mother via Twitter. She publicly told her mother to “stop lying about everything” and claimed her father is “a great dad.” That month, explosive texts between the mother and daughter were released. “You treat me like sh*t,” Judge texted her daughter. “What have I done to you that you hate your own mother?” Sidney responded, “Wait, so what you’re saying is you don’t think us kids went through a hard time in the divorce?” “Well, your [sic] acting like your going through such a hard time and we have the easy life. … I can’t talk to you cuz I can’t trust you … Cuz u break promises.” It has been a difficult year for Tamra Barney as she struggles through the stress of parenthood. In addition to her fractured relationship with Sidney, Tamra’s son was arrested on domestic violence charges earlier this year.
