Jennifer Pedranti hosted a Q&A session on her Instagram Story on Wednesday night amid the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, offering an update on her relationships with Tamra Judge and Gina Kirschenheiter.

As she and Tamra, 55, continue to feud on the show, mainly due to the questions Tamra has posed about Jennifer’s boyfriend, Ryan Boyajian, and their relationship, Jennifer, 46, signaled to her former friend’s manipulations as she discussed their future friendship, confirmed where she stands with Gina, 39, and discussed her potential return for season 18.

“Not a question, but hope you come back season 18,” a fan wrote to Jennifer on August 23.

And along with a photo of herself filming the opening credits of season 17 and a crossed-fingers emoji, Jennifer replied, “SO DO I!!!!!!”

Someone else had a couple of questions for Jennifer.

“Are you and Tamra friends? Also how do you feel about Gina after watching the show?” they wrote.

“You guys got to see [Gina Kirschenheiter] and I go through a tough spot. Gina and I talked, we both said we wanted to move forward.. and that’s exactly what we did!” Jennifer revealed, along with her and Gina posing with their RHOC castmates in cowboy hats.

Also on her Instagram Story, Jennifer responded to a follower who wanted to know if there was still hope for a reconciliation between her and Tamra.

“Do you see a path to friendship with Tamra again? I want y’all to work it out,” the person wrote.

“Thank you, it has not been easy … I don’t even know how to begin an answer to this question. I do think about it, but NONE of it adds up for me. I never dreamed it would be like this,” Jennifer replied.

And that wasn’t all she said about Tamra. Jennifer also shared a telling photo, which included a message that stated, “An apology without change is just manipulation.”

Although Jennifer joined the RHOC cast as a friend of Tamra’s, the two of them quickly suffered a falling out as Tamra accused Ryan of sending a d*ck pic to other women — and claimed he told someone he was going to “f*ck” her.

Tamra has also alleged that while Ryan cheated on Jennifer, she chose to remain committed to the relationship in an effort to secure her role on the Bravo series.
