Dec. 29 2015, Updated 8:17 p.m. ET
The Real Housewives of Orange County is done for the season but the drama continues online for Tamra Judge! She got into a nasty Instagram fight with a critic who slammed her Christmas, and the RHOC star told RadarOnline.com exclusively what happened.
The Real Housewives of Orange County star, 48, posted a picture on Christmas of her family's loot in front of the tree and was quickly slammed by a follower on her Instagram page.
"Looks like a spoiled mess that no one knows how to appreciate," one critic wrote. And Judge’s followers quickly slammed back.
The reality star dove into the comments too.
She wrote to one fan who slammed the critic: "@smile5362 love you. Calling out a b***h."
Barney further defended her own comment and explained to RadarOnline.com that she was appreciative of the supporter. "I never called a fan a b***h," she said. "Someone wrote something mean and my fans went after that person. All I said was 'nice calling out a b***h.'"
While Judge gushed about her family holiday, however, noticeably absent from any mentions was her estranged daughter, Sidney Barney. As RadarOnline.com reported, Sidney moved in with her father, Simon Barney, full-time during her parents' bitter custody battle.
Barney refused to reveal why they didn't spend the holiday together. "I don't really want to comment," she told RadarOnline.com. "She and I made a deal: No more discussing it, and trying to move forward."
A source close to the situation revealed to RadarOnline.com that Judge and her daughter did contact each other on the holiday, though. "She did communicate with Sidney Christmas morning and she thanked her mom for the presents she sent over. Spencer also thanked his dad via text for the presents he sent over," the insider explained. According to the source, Judge is working to change the relationship with her daughter: "She hopes and prays next year that things are back to normal."
