Prevent display of Widget for listing author for specific users/authors

that about sums it up..... basically i do not want to display the "single listing author" widget AT ALL for a specific author..... I was able to go into the parts folder, and under widget-listing-author.php put in a conditional statement so that the content does not display in listings from that specific user but the (small) empty widget box still shows so is not the ideal solution.... hopefully i can do similar elsewhere to prevent the widget from displaying at all.... and ideally can do it via the functions.php file in my child theme rather than having to copy over and edit additional php files in my child theme but will do if need be....
