On Saturday morning, Veith, Tamra's son from her first marriage, wrote on his Facebook page:
I am not going to sit here in silence any longer. I will NOT allow this piece of shit simon Barney to do this to my Mother.
I lived with this man growing up, I witnessed first hand what a controlling bastard he is. It's his way or no way! I watched him verbally beat her down many times. He caused so many problem between me and my Mom and now he is doing it with my sister Sidney. He verbally abused both of us their entire relationship. That's why I moved out at 18. Bottom line, He can't stand to see my Mom happy with Eddie.
What he is doing to my brother and sisters is wrong. He doesn't want his kids full time, he just wants to hurt my Mom. He knew exactly what he was doing when he filed those papers. He knew it would become public and destroy our mother. A responsible father that cared about his kids would have brought his "evidence" in front of a judge and not to the press.
I hope the judge throws him in jail where he belongs.
Vieth is accusing Simon of turning Sidney against their mom simply because he can't stand to see The Real Housewives of Orange County star happy with her current husband, Eddie Judge.
In 2010, as RadarOnline.com reported, Simon was arrested for suspected domestic violence after Tamra claimed she threw a dog leash at her. She was granted a temporary restraining order against him and filed for divorce. The D.A. subsequently declined to file charges, citing a lack of evidence.
A few months later Simon filed for bankruptcy.
He has now petitioned the court to give him sole custody of their three children including 15-year-old daughter, Sidney, who moved out of her mother's home and into his late last year.
