- On Monday, Sept. 2, Vicki Gunvalson spoke about Tamra Judge's estranged relationship with her eldest daughter amid the two Real Housewives of Orange County stars' current rift

- But on Wednesday, Sept. 4, Judge tearfully told Gunvalson to leave her family alone
Tamra Judge is responding to Vicki Gunvalson’s recent comments about Judge’s estranged relationship with her daughter, Sidney Barney.
Judge, 57, who is currently recovering from recent cosmetic procedures, posted on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Sept. 4, in response to Gunvalson’s comments on the Monday, Sept. 2 episode of My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast.
“I've tried so hard not to listen to what Vicki had said about me, and I just keep getting bombarded with it,” Judge tearfully began.
“I'm in just disbelief, in such disbelief, this woman would go so low. Do you know what it's like to lose a child? Do you know what it's like? It's the most painful thing in the world [and] to insinuate it was because I was on [The Real Housewives of Orange County]. No, that's not what it is.”
“You win, Vicki. I don't know what you want from me, but you got it. You win. Okay? You kick me when I'm down. You hurt me all the time. I can't do it anymore,” she said.
“You can have my spot on the show. You can have whatever you want. Just please leave my family alone! Please!” Judge concluded.

Judge’s emotional plea was seemingly in response Gunvalson’s comments that Judge’s eldest daughter, Sidney — with whom she remains estranged — wants her mother “off” of RHOC. Judge shares three children, Sophia, 18, Spencer, 23, and Sydney, 25, with ex-husband Simon Barney. She also shares Ryan Vieth, 38, with ex-husband Darren Vieth.
“If my daughter didn’t talk to me, I’d be on a flipping plane right now, knocking on her door, begging her for forgiveness, and I don’t even care what I did! Sidney has a very strong opinion of Tamra,” Gunvalson, 62, said during the Sept. 2 episode of My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast.
Gunvalson, who currently appears as a "friend" on RHOC, said that Judge’s eldest daughter wants her mother to depart the Bravo show and “stop embarrassing the family.”
“That shows Sidney, ‘I’m not important to you,' ” she continued. “Reconcile with your daughter! It’s pretty simple.”

Just one day prior on Tuesday, Sept. 3, Judge declared on Instagram Stories that she didn’t “give a s—,” about Gunvalson's comments. Her post was archived Bravo fan Instagram account, Bravohousewives.
“This woman is disgusting in every sense of the word. To go after my family and everything, that’s what she does,” Judge said. “I don’t know why she’s doing it.”
Judge added that she didn't want parenting advice “from a woman that chose her boyfriend, Brooks [Ayers], over her own daughter." Gunvalson shares childrenBriana Culberson, 37, and Michael Wolfsmith Jr., 38, with ex-husband Michael Wolfsmith.
In 2015, Gunvalson and Ayers broke up after four years following the drama that played out on RHOC season 10. Ayers claimed on the show that he had stage 3 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He later confessed that he forged medical documents but maintained that he was diagnosed with cancer. At the time, both Culberson and Judge warned Gunvalson about Ayers.

In her Wednesday post, Judge also brought up the time Ayers instructed Culberson's husband Ryan to “beat his wife to keep her in line.” (During the season 8 reunion, Culberson confronted Ayers and revealed that Ayers previously told Ryan to hit her.)
“So Vicki, go away, leave me alone,” Judge concluded the Sept. 3 Instagram Stories post. "Nobody cares what you have to say, ever. Go away.”
