Jennifer Pedranti Claps Back at Erika Jayne and Teddi Mellencamp Over Tamra Judge Drama
Jennifer Pedranti has fired back at Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars, Erika Jayne and Teddi Mellencamp, after they criticized her for calling Tamra Judge “trash.”
Following a recent episode of Two Ts In A Pod, where Teddi and Erika criticized Jennifer for calling Tamra Judge “trash,” the Real Housewives of Orange County newbie defended her choice of words and fired back at her critics.
Jennifer Responds to “Trash” Comment Backlash
In an Instagram post, Jennifer directly addressed Teddi and Erika’s disapproval of her “trash” remark, acknowledging that while the term may not sit well with them, she stands by it. “I completely understand the statement of calling her ‘trash’ doesn’t sit well with you. It’s not my nature either,” Jennifer began. “BUT — I apologize — I can’t think of another name for her.”
Jennifer went on to explain that Tamra’s behavior, including some outrageous antics, led to her strong statement.
“She has ZERO class, peeing like a dog on my back patio, sticking her finger in Emily’s butt, peeing in Katie’s driveway, crying in Big Bear that she’s mad at God,” Jennifer listed off Tamra’s behavior, adding, “screaming at Shannon that she’s an alcoholic (when we ALL know Tamra uses alcohol as LIQUID COURAGE).”
Jennifer didn’t stop there, accusing Tamra of making baseless claims against her partner, Ryan Boyajian, 46, adding, “She made BIG allegations against Ryan. She will be hearing about it.”
Jennifer Defends Her Relationship With Tamra
Erika and Teddi had commented on Jennifer’s labeling of Tamra on the podcast, with Erika calling it inappropriate. But Jennifer shot back, saying she wasn’t going to take the bashing quietly. “I have so much respect for you [Erika],” she shared, noting that while Tamra has been on RHOC for a long time, Jennifer wouldn’t stay silent.
“I certainly understand I am new and Tamra has been around for a long time. That doesn’t mean that me, my partner, or my family take her bashing quietly,” Jennifer said.
Teddi’s Loyalty to Tamra Questioned
In her post, Jennifer also addressed Teddi Mellencamp’s comments directly, accusing her of siding with Tamra out of loyalty rather than any personal stance. “Teddi, I enjoyed you at the Traitors party,” Jennifer wrote. “It feels like you are one of those girls that likes whoever your BF [best friend] likes and hates on whoever your BF hates.”
Jennifer explained that she’s different, but understands Teddi’s close relationship with Tamra. “I was once [Tamra’s friend] as well… let’s not forget that.”
Tamra’s Ongoing Feud With Jennifer
The conflict between Jennifer and Tamra heated up earlier in the season when Tamra made bold accusations against Ryan during a drunken confrontation. Tamra had implied that Ryan’s home was raided by the FBI and that he was involved in an MLB-related gambling scheme. Ryan has since filed a lawsuit against Tamra over the claims, which only escalated the feud.
As the drama continues to unfold on The Real Housewives of Orange County, fans are keeping a close eye on the dynamic between Tamra, Jennifer, and the other cast members. With tensions running high, it’s clear that this battle is far from over.
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 airs Thursdays, at 9/8c, on Bravo.
