Tamra Judge Allegedly Ambushed Son’s Ex-Girlfriend

As Ryan and Sarah take their drama publicly, it was the latter that made her followers aware that Tamra had ambushed her to take her daughter Ava away.

“So I just got ambushed by Tamra and her mom at my door. She recorded me without my knowledge which is illegal and now she is going to take me to court to get Ava taken away from me,” Rodriguez said.

In a video that Ryan later posted he said that there were police around Sarah’s home that prevented him from taking his daughter. He then also talked about the court order that his ex-girlfriend shared online.

“That’s from when I was working 12-hour days at 4:30 in the morning and my daughter was only a few months old and I didn’t want to wake her up every single morning when I work. She knows what our schedule has been. Everyone around me knows what our schedule has been. I have my daughter every single Wednesday until Thursday. I pick her up again on Fridays and I drop her off on Sundays. It’s been that way for years now,” he explained. 

“She wants to play the game because she’s mad because I posted stuff about her? She’s using my daughter as leverage… I’d call that child abuse,” he added. “All I wanted to do was pick up my daughter on my day off like I always do… The only one that suffers is my daughter.”

What Is Tamra Judge Saying About Feud?

Tamra weighed in on her son’s ordeal with his ex-girlfriend in a deleted Instagram post that said: “My son and his ex have created a public circus. I’m absolutely disgusted and my only concern is Ava. Not my circus. Not my monkeys.”

In a follow-up publication, she posted a quote that seem to fit what her son is going through now.

In a follow-up post, Tamra shared a quote without directing it to anyone in particular. “To anybody who’s reading this, I pray that you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better,” read the quote. “May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life.”

Life-Threatening Text Messages Leak

Earlier in the week, Sarah had published a series of texts messages between her and Ryan that end on a disturbing note.

“You talked sh** about my daughter several times today. She is a child. You are supposed to be a grown up,” Rodriguez wrote in a text she shared in a now-deleted Instagram post. “And she acts like a little b*** just like you, Vieth replied.

The alarming message was the last one where Ryan texted: “Go kill yourself.” In another screenshot, Ryan allegedly said, “this one is for you,” with a picture of a bullet.

Ryan Vieth Has Disturbing Explanation For Bullet Photo

Ryan Vieth is at a disturbing place in his life and set off alarms on Instagram when he shared that the bullet photo Sarah had shared previously that suggested was a threat to her, was actually for himself.

“One person can only take so much, thank you Sarah for always causing chaos in my life by playing the media and show against me. Maybe I’ll end up like your first boyfriend Luke. And for the record, the bullet was for me not for Sarah but [no one] cares to [know the] truth,” he wrote.
