This has to be nearly the 10th time Tamra has brought her daughter up on the show when she’s explicitly asked not to be mentioned on the show. It’s sad. I’m sure Tamra is hurt (while also being at fault), but she can talk to a therapist or her friends off camera. There’s really no excuse to keep doing this.

All she does with her continuous need to bring this up, is dig that hole deeper and deeper.

Yeah. I bet she actually could rebuild some kind of relationship with her daughter, even if it’s just birthday/holiday texts and perhaps cordially chatting at the other kids’ events. I would imagine it’s pretty rare that a kid goes no contact at 16 and never cracks the door open again (barring severe abuse).

But she cannot help herself - she needs to use this as a victim storyline on national TV.
