Overview
- During the Season 19 reunion, Judge said Sidney stopped by her house before meeting sister Sophia for lunch.
- Judge recounted a hug and a roughly 30-minute conversation about life, calling the goodbye embrace very emotional.
- She said the encounter felt like progress and that Sidney is “coming around,” without suggesting a full reconciliation.
- The estrangement traces to Judge’s 2011 divorce and custody dispute, with Sidney choosing to live with her father.
- Past attempts to reconnect were complicated by privacy concerns, including Sidney’s 2017 Facebook post criticizing public sharing, a topic Judge has addressed in on-show therapy sessions.
