“I want to start by clearing some things up as my mother continues to talk about me despite me requesting her to stop speaking of me publicly [sic] as I don’t want to be associated with her or the show,” she wrote on Monday, August 7. “I actually chose my mothers side when my parents separated. This was due to the fact that my mother, the true parent alienator, would constantly talk negatively about my father in front of me and my siblings, putting us kids in the middle of my parents arguments. She even called us Simon or ‘mini Simon’ when we did something bad or told us that we were ‘acting like your father.’”

She added: “This parent alienation caused me to resent my father and take her side. However as I got older I realized what she was doing along with other things that were toxic.”
