Jennifer Pedranti addressed recent reports suggesting that her fiance, Ryan Boyajian, is suing Tamra Judge on Jeff Lewis‘ radio show this week.
After Tamra, 57, falsely claimed that their home was raided by the FBI on The Real Housewives of Orange County and alleged that Ryan, 46, had stolen money from Los Angeles Dodgers player Shohei Ohtani, 30, on Watch What Happens Live, Jennifer, 47, revealed Ryan’s stance, reacted to Tamra’s public apology, and shared her thoughts on rekindling her friendship with Tamra and Eddie Judge, 51.
“[He’s] not suing [Tamra]. [He] doesn’t have any interest in suing Tamra,” Jennifer confirmed on SiriusXM Radio’s Jeff Lewis Live, via It’s a Bravo World on Instagram.
According to Jennifer, she and Ryan both know what they signed up for in agreeing to share their lives on RHOC. However, during season 18, they felt that Tamra crossed a line.
“Ryan’s like, ‘Let her say that I sleep with donkeys and married women and my jackets have too much splattered pain. I don’t care.’ But the allegations of our home with seven children living in it was raided by the FBI or the fact that Ryan stole, or had any part of the Shohei Ohtani situation, he’s like, ‘That’s just too much,'” Jennifer explained. “That affects his life, my life, and his businesses. And so, he said, ‘You know what, I’d love her to retract those statements, and if I see her next week and we work together, great.’ And that’s exactly what happened.”
Following a series of public apologies from Tamra, in which she admitted to misspeaking about Ryan and his situation, Jennifer said she’s “truly grateful” that her co-star set the record straight.
“She did retract both statements and Ryan’s great with it,” Jennifer noted.
As for whether they will be able to make amends with Tamra and Eddie, Jennifer first said, “No,” before adding, “I don’t really know.”
“That relationship has so much repair, and that’s gonna take time. [But these] two men were friends. They were friends before this ever happened, and so it’s so unfortunate. Tamra, we were all friends,” Jennifer shared. “And so the dramatic change that happened when we started filming was shocking for Ryan.”
Looking back at Katie Ginella‘s dinner party, where Tamra’s claims about the FBI were made, Jennifer said she expected for Eddie to cut Tamra off with the booze after she appeared to be overserved.
“Eddie’s a good man. He’s a good guy, and I expected nothing less from Eddie than to stand up. I think we needed Tamra to exit. She had had too much to drink, and then when she did, you saw what happened,” Jennifer stated.
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
