While the two women have had an up-and-down relationship on The Real Housewives of Orange County, Gunvalson put their differences aside this week on social media, and defended Barney against the claims of her ex-husband, Simon Barney.

“I’ve known you as a mother and it’s beyond terrible,” Gunvalson wrote to Barney, according to a report by Real Mr. Housewife on Wednesday. “I know how much you love your children and because Simon couldn’t have you he went to the next closest person to control is your daughter. Lifting you up in prayers. Keep fighting the fight- she needs you.”

Earlier this month, after being accused of alienating daughter Sidney, 16, from her mother, Simon Barney released the following statement, via Radar Online:

“Not only does my daughter have to read and hear about what her mother says about her father on the internet and various talk-shows, she is forced to relive it over and over from her ‘friends and classmates," Simon wrote. "The not so classy moments her mother is so famous for on the show which she is a main cast member, i.e., bathtub scene, talking about anal sex, talking about having sex with her husband, being topless, grabbing other women’s body parts, trash talking, throwing wine, drunk, having her private parts in a man’s face, having a male stripper’s private parts in her face and being overall abusive.”
