As the youngest of the Barney children, Sophia Barney (pictured above) has had the toughest time accepting her dad is sick. Simon Barney explained to People how the teen “doesn’t want to talk about it” and “doesn’t want to see” him ill, which are heartbreaking details. Despite Sophia’s struggles, however, she’s thriving in a myriad of ways. “I’m so proud of the strong, driven, kind young lady you’ve become,” Tamra Judge penned to her daughter in September 2019. “Keep reaching for the stars and never give up on your music & passion for fashion (she’s working on her own clothing line).”
In those moments when Sophia needs a shoulder to lean on, Judge will be by her side to see her through the tough times. The mom even revealed how being there for her kids was a big factor in her decision to part ways with RHOC. “In my mind, I knew there was going to be a phone call during filming where someone needed me — where Simon was in the hospital, or one of my kids were upset — and I’d need to handle all that stuff, away from the cameras,” she told People.
