Jennifer Pedranti hosted a Q&A on her Instagram Story over the weekend, during which she answered a series of questions about her Real Housewives of Orange County castmates.
In addition to responding to Tamra Judge, 57, claiming that she had a tummy tuck and has no belly button and offering an update on her post-reunion relationship with Emily Simpson, 48, Jennifer, 47, explained her status between Shannon Beador, 60, and Alexis Bellino, 47, and confirmed Teresa Giudice, 52, and her husband, Luis Ruelas, 50, reached out to her amid Tamra’s drama with her fiance, Ryan Boyajian, 46.
“Why did Tamra say that you had a tummy tuck and have no belly button?” a fan asked Jennifer during the November 10 chat.
“I don’t know,” Jennifer admitted. “Tamra [texted] saying I was her ‘inspo pic’ I don’t think I’ll ever understand. I want to [uplift] women. Not tear them apart. She looks amazing and also has a GREAT surgeon…”
Along with her response, Jennifer included a screenshot of text messages sent back and forth with Tamra, in which Tamra informed her she was going to her own pre-op appointment and using Jennifer’s photo as inspiration.
A second fan asked, “How is your relationship with Emily after the reunion?”
“I talked to [Emily Simpson] just last week,” Jennifer replied. “She has an ‘attorney mind’ … You can’t fault her for the questions. I’m hoping to put all of this behind us and move forward.”
As RHOC fans will recall, Emily pulled Jennifer’s finances and decision-making into question throughout season 18, especially due to her spending habits post-eviction. And during the reunion, her comments continued.
“Where are you at with Shannon today? How do you juggle your relationships with [Alexis and Shannon]?” wondered a third IG user, signaling the ongoing drama between Shannon and Alexis, much of which has to do with Alexis’ relationship with John Janssen, 62, and John’s lawsuit against Shannon.
“I met Alexis this year. She has been a great friend to me. I love Shannon. I’m NOT getting in the middle of this,” Jennifer stated. “I would love this to be over for ALL of them. Alexis is happy, Shannon is THRIVING! No mean girl BS here. Wishing the best for my friends … That’s it.”
Also during the Q&A, another fan wanted to know, “Do you talk to Teresa [from The Real Housewives of New Jersey]?”
“I haven’t talked to her in a minute … But when all the crap with Ryan and Tamra happened her and [Luis Ruelas] reached out in support,” Jennifer revealed. “I don’t forget stuff like that.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 reunion continues with part two this Thursday, November 14, at 9/8c on Bravo.
