Tamra Judge: Here"s an Update on My Estranged Daughter!
It doesn’t get much more complex or emotional than tensions and estrangement between parents and their children. Sometimes it’s fueled by confused emotions and hormones, and sometimes it’s caused by grievous wrongdoings.
Tamra Judge is famously feuding with The Real Housewives of Orange County costar Vicki Gunvalson, but she also has a much more important and more personal feud — with her estranged daughter, Sidney. She even spoke about it, emotionally, on the Season 12 premiere of RHOC.
Now Tamra’s saying that things with her daughter are improving … but is she just putting on a brave face?
Tamra Judge split from her ex, Simon.
As so often happens in divorce, especially with older children, the family became fractured.
Young kids might be ferried back and forth between the two, but that wasn’t the case.
Tamra’s 17-year-old son, Spencer, lives with her and calls her new husband, David, “dad.”
Her 11-year-old daughter, Sophia, gets shuttled back and forth between Tamra and Simon.
Sidney, however, has refused to live with Tamra, living instead with her father.
Tamra has lamented not being able to be there for her oldest daughter’s milestones.
But, at least on the surface, they might be inching their way towards reconciliation.
There was something of a family reunion for Sidney’s high school graduation, complete with pictures.
She captioned the photo of photos:
“So many things to be proud of this month. Our family has come a long way and I couldn’t be happier.”
That sounds promising, right?
“Simon and I are so proud of these amazing, smart, funny, beautiful, & crazy kids.”
It’s good that she and her ex can speak as one on a subject as important as their children.
And then Tamra gets a little more personal, bringing it back to her daughter — whom they were all honoring.
“Congrats Sidney! Your smile lightens up the room and your future is so bright.”
But, clearly, there’s still quite a bit of tension.
But Tamra Judge says that her relationship with Sidney is improving, little by little.
“We’re making progress. Every day’s a step forward and we’re just really trying to bring the family back together.”
We don’t know how mutual that is.
Sometimes parents can mistake “working out our issues” with “getting their children to see things their way.” It never ends well.
Publicly, at least, Tamra has nothing but praise for Sidney.
“She’s amazing. She’s doing great. She graduated from high school, going off to college and I’m just really proud of her.”
And she should be.
“It’s still very difficult and we’ve had a long journey and we’re making progress which is good.”
It’s hard to tell if she’s just being optimistic and putting a good face on it, or if her statements reflect reality and her daughter’s actual feelings.
Like, Tamra refers to a facelift as a comeback — she can put a shine on anything.
What we’d really want to do is hear from Sidney, in Sidney’s own words, how things are.
And also why things are the way that they are.
We don’t know if Sidney wants to repair things with her mom or if she privately listens to that Tamra Judge diss track.
Sidney’s entering the adult world and old enough to speak for herself.
Because as long as we’re just hearing from Tamra, we’ll never have the complete story.
Chad Johnson"s Daughter Smashes 800m Record for Age Group
Chad Johnson’s daughter, Cha’iel, straight-up DUSTED the competition in her 800m run Wednesday … where she set a new U.S. record for 12-year-old girls. It all went down at the AAU Track and Field National Club Championships today ……
This Man Got Arrested. Then He Proposed. In Handcuffs.
Getting John Stamos to help you propose is pretty cool.
But not letting a pair of handcuffs or a possible forthcoming jail sentence get in the way of a proposal is downright epic.
On July Fourth of this year, a 35-year old Oklahoma man named Brandon Thompson was celebrating both his birthday and the birthday of this great country.
However, the celebration took a decidedly negative turn after a police officer recognized Thompson as someone with six felony warrants out for his arrest.
The officer and his partner proceeded to arrest Thompson on his driveway, going so far as to handcuff him… before he made an unexpected request.
"I asked the officer if I could propose," Thompson told CNN. "The officer said, "You want to do what?" and I said, "I want to propose to her.""
One of the officers on the scene was wearing a body camera, so this very romantic and wholly stunning proposal was recorded for all to eventually see online.
"It took us by surprise that he asked if he could do it," said officer Lincoln Anderson, who told Thompson the handcuffs had to remain on – but that they could be switched to the front position.
This was good enough for Thompson.
He got down on one knee in front of Leandria Keith (with a cigarette still in his mouth!) and simply said: "I love you. Will you be my wife, please?"
After Keith said yes, and after Thompson was taken into custody before being released on bond and told to appear at a hearing on July 17, the 35-year old explained to CNN:
"When you"re in love with somebody and you know that you want to spend the rest of your life with them, you just want them to know how you feel
"I wanted a new start for me and with the police taking me to jail I didn"t have to worry about my warrants anymore."
Watch the unusual proposal take place below:
