Regarding Tamra & Her Estranged Daughter
Okay this is obviously a touchy subject and what I'm about to say might not be politically correct for some sensitive people, but I felt the need to reveal some truth to this situation. So here's what I know.
After hearing this topic be mentioned multiple times throughout the show and gossip news sites, I decided to take a closer look into this estrangement. After looking into everything and seeing SO MANY similarities to other families, I felt the need to defend Tamra against all the people that claim "she chose the show over her own daughter."
I have seen this exact situation before and it's really unfair, but it happens. It's rare but it exists.
Tamra is obviously pretty hot for her age. Sidney is more "down to earth" and isn't blonde, tan, and sexy like her mother is. This may change one day, but as of right now.. in the looks department, they are polar opposites. This is where I believe the riff began.
No matter if they're friends, strangers, family, or coworkers.. women are always catty over other females' appearances and normally the hot girls are hated (envied) by those who aren't. All hot girls hang with other hot girls. Homely girls hang out with homely girls.. for the most part.
So I feel that Sidney is actually jealous that her mom is this hot blonde bombshell, while she is quite average (which she could change if she tried; she's cute but not SEXY) and uses her Mother's unconditional love for her as a weapon to hurt Tamra with because she envies what her mother has. She claims if she quit the show, they could reconcile. And people attack Tamra for doing the show and remaining at odds with her daughter.
But this show is TAMRA'S paycheck and essentially her whole career. I think it's so unfair for her daughter to proposition her to basically quit her job for them to have a relationship with one another. No mother would quit their job just for their daughter to talk to her! This is where I believe Tamra was correct in saying that she is spoiled and should appreciate the life she has. And that 30 years ago this behavior would not be tolerated by parents. But this is the present day and because of the laws.. children practically own their parents now. They know they can blackmail their mom & dad if they did spank them or decide to harshly discipline them. That's what I see this as.
Tamra is supposed to quit her job for her daughter to talk to her?? That's selfish and conniving from Sidney and I can see right through her vindictive spitefulness of Tamra. If Sidney was blonde, tan, and hot.. I doubt there would be an estrangement between them.
Basically.. Sidney is jealous of Tamra. Even if they are mother and daughter, the cattiness between women is always there. And she manipulates the situation to look like she's the victim, and Tamra is the selfish, conceited fame wh**e who chooses the show over her own daughter. If it wasn't the show, then it'd be Eddie. etc. etc.
I see you Sidney, you're not fooling anybody
