Jennifer Pedranti is clapping back at Tamra Judge, who slammed her fiance, Ryan Boyajian, as “disgusting” after learning he’d been tied to a $16 million MLB gambling scandal involving Los Angeles Dodgers player Shohei Ohtani.
After Tamra, 56, took to her and Teddi Mellencamp‘s podcast to shade Ryan, 47, who allegedly received a wire transfer from Shohei’s former interpreter, who was accused of stealing millions from the athlete, the 46-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County cast member posted a couple of videos on her Instagram Story.
“You know what is ‘disgusting?’ The conversation that I just had with my daughter,” Jennifer began on May 15. “I was taking a funny video of Everly because she couldn’t be at school today because her back hurts yet she’s home just, like, gaming her face off. And so I’m in there taking — actually, I’m gonna post it. Because this is what is disgusting, this is what is crossing the limit and ruining people’s lives.
According to Jennifer, her 13-year-old daughter Everly asked her about the mob after hearing about it at school — just after Tamra joked that she signed up for RHOC, not Mob Wives.
“She heard it at school today — now that is disgusting,” Jennifer stated.
She then posted a second clip in which she was seen telling her fans and followers that her daughter had hurt her back.
“Okay, mamas, it never ends around here. So someone couldn’t be at school today because her back was killing her,” Jennifer shared as she turned the camera to her child, who asked, “Mom, what is the mob?”

Amid the cast drama, Steven Katzman, Ryan’s criminal attorney, offered a statement to ESPN, confirming his client was cooperating with the authorities.
“Because there is an active investigation and Ryan is working with the authorities, he can’t confirm or deny what is going on,” he stated. “He is not a bookmaker or a sub-bookie.”
While Ryan has not yet addressed the matter himself, insiders have suggested that he’s received immunity in exchange for his testimony against Shohei’s former interpreter.
As for Tamra’s claim about Ryan being “disgusting,” she made it, along with others, on Two Ts in a Pod days ago.
“This is very scandalous,” Tamra admitted of the news. “[It’s] scary to me … I didn’t sign up for Mob Wives. I signed up for The Real Housewives of Orange County. This is dark. This is heavy.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime later this year.
