Jennifer Pedranti revealed which two of her Real Housewives of Orange County castmates didn’t reach out to her amid Ryan Boyajian‘s MLB scandal on Thursday’s Watch What Happens Live.
As she also reacted to Tamra Judge‘s claims of vindication and statement about being on the autism spectrum, Jennifer, 47, confirmed if she’d be signing a prenup, revealed when she and Ryan, 46, will wed, and shared where she stands with Alexis Bellino, 47, amid her messy feud with Shannon Beador, 60.
Looking back at the cast’s reaction to Ryan’s ties to the MLB case on the October 31 episode of WWHL, Jennifer explained what surprised her most.
“I think what was surprising for me is when this actually happened, I had gone to lunch with [Gina Kirschenheiter] and [Emily Simpson] and I had told them, like, ‘We knew this article was coming out.’ We knew it was coming, and then the article did come out, and Ryan and I, it was shocking the way it read when it came out,” she noted. “I think what was surprising was I heard from everyone … and Tamra and Emily were the two that I didn’t hear from.”
“I just felt like, ‘Wow,'” she added. “With everything going on, right or wrong, or if we are involved or not involved, you still check on someone.”
After Tamra, 57, declared that she was “right” about Ryan on Thursday’s episode of RHOC, Jennifer described her reaction as “sad.”
“I’ve known her for so long. Why didn’t you reach out and say, ‘I can’t stand him, but are you good?’ I could’ve used a friend in that moment,” she stated.
Moving on to her future with Ryan following their engagement earlier this year, Jennifer looked to Ryan, who was in the audience, and asked, “Will there be a prenup?”
“There won’t be on my end. Jenn and I ride together. There’s no prenup,” Ryan replied.
Regarding Tamra’s spectrum announcement, Jennifer admitted she wasn’t a fan of her co-star going public.
“If I was her friend, I would probably say, ‘Not a good move.’ I would say, ‘I don’t know how you come up with that in one therapy session,’ and to that, I do hope that [therapy is] something she’s actually looking into,” Jennifer said. “I think she could benefit from it.”
Jennifer was then asked about her kids, specifically her son Dawson.
“Dawson is doing great. And Dawson and I are doing great. He’s going to the military. He’s gonna do the Marines. He goes June 23,” she shared. “As a mom, you go through all the emotions of that, but I’m super proud of Dawson.”
Speaking of kids, Jennifer was also questioned about Katie Ginella‘s daughter telling Emily’s kids that Heather Dubrow, 55, was “mean,” which was discussed on Thursday’s show.
“With the kids and the babysitting and all that, I’m with all the girls. I feel like the kids should just be left out of it. Kids say what kids say, and for me, I wouldn’t even involve the kids,” she noted.
As she looks ahead to a summer 2025 wedding in the Bahamas, Jennifer said she plans to invite the entire RHOC cast.
“I would invite everybody. I would hope that if you show up to our wedding it’s to love and support us, and if you can’t do that, then I hope you just would not come,” she explained.
“We go [to the Bahamas at the] beginning of June. We haven’t set the actual date, but it will be that trip,” she continued. “It will be the kids, the Bahamas, on the sand.”
Also on the live show, Jennifer was asked how ex-husband William Pedranti, 52, feels about her upcoming wedding.
“I don’t have any idea. I wish I knew. I’m so sick of saying this. I’m almost gonna give it up,” she admitted. “I don’t know at what point I quit trying to bridge that gap and just let it be.”
Later, while appearing on the WWHL: After Show, Jennifer offered an update on her relationship with Alexis.
“Alexis is the first time I’ve ever been kicked out of someone’s home — well, there was the eviction, but other than that, other than that — [but] Alexis and I are fine,” she confirmed. “I’ve said it this whole season, trying to navigate the two of them is such a tough spot. I love Shannon. I feel for both of those women, and I’m just trying to love them both. Not easy.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 reunion begins Thursday, November 7, at 9/8c on Bravo.
