Gunvalson said her approach to the delicate family situation would have been very different.
“I don’t care about my money or my stuff; I care about my family, my daughter, the people in my life, that’s the problem,” Gunvalson said. “If my daughter didn’t talk to me, I’d be on a crazy plane right now, knocking on her door, begging her to forgive me, and I don’t even care what I did.”
Tamra, who is recovering from a cosmetic surgery procedure, is also mother to son Ryan, 38, with ex-husband Darren Vieth, and son Spencer, 23, and daughter Sophia, 18, with ex-husband Simon Barney.
In her response, a tearful Tamra admitted she was hurt by Gunvalson’s comments about her relationship with her daughter.
“I’m trying so hard not to listen to what Vicki said about me,” Tamra said, “and I keep getting bombarded with it.”
Tamra said she couldn’t believe this woman could stoop so low by commenting on the emotional situation.
“I can’t believe it,” Tamra said. “Do you know what it’s like to lose a child? Do you know what that feels like? It’s the most painful thing in the world.”
Tamra said of Gunvalson’s insinuation that her situation with Sidney was due to her participation in the reality show: “No, it’s not that.”
On Tuesday, Tamra took a more combative stance toward Gunvalson in a post on the platform.

Tamra said: ‘She goes after my family and all that, that’s what she does. I don’t know why she does it. Maybe she needs some attention, maybe someone needs to pet her like a puppy, but I’m not going to do that.’
Tamra said her situation with Sidney was still “very tragic and sad” and suggested Gunvalson drop the subject.
—Vicki, go away, leave me alone, Tamra said. I’m going to ask you one last time: leave me alone. No one cares what you have to say, ever. Go away.
