In a recent episode of Two T’s and a Pod, Teddi Mellencamp revealed that Jennifer Pedranti, whom Tamra Judge has been feuding with, reached out to her through direct messages (DMs). This sparked Tamra and Teddi to label Jennifer as “calculated,” a description that the reality TV star was quick to address.
Taking to Instagram, Jennifer Pedranti posted a clip of Tamra and Teddi discussing her, accompanied by a bold response. She wrote, “and she calls me very calculated…. so here are my ‘VERY CALCULATED’ DM’S…and for the record..read it- I was taking ownership for the wording I used in my DM to Erika Jayne and Teddi Mellencamp. Lastly, my message to another woman going through a hard time isn’t calculated it’s called being a HUMAN. #takenotes.”
Jennifer Pedranti wasn’t just defending herself against the “calculated” label, but she also shared the actual DMs exchanged between her and Teddi Mellencamp, offering a more personal look at her intentions. In the messages, Jennifer reached out to Teddi with compassion, writing: “I just wanted to send you a message. Divorce is so hard, I hope you and the kids are doing ok. Sending good thoughts your way.”
Teddi’s response was heartfelt: “Thank you. My heart is broke. I feel very scared and lost and all things aside. I appreciate you reaching out.”
Jennifer’s message wasn’t just sympathetic; it was meant to offer encouragement: “It is scary. I’ll tell you this..you will find an inner strength that you never knew you had. It’s one day at a time. You’ll get through it.”
In an era where reality TV stars often get caught up in drama and controversy, Jennifer’s gesture stands out as one of genuine support, not calculation. Her response to being called “calculated” underscores a clear message: reaching out to another woman in a difficult time isn’t manipulation, it’s simply being human.
Fans quickly came to Jennifer’s defense, slamming Tamra and Teddi for their harsh judgment. Many expressed disappointment at how the two reality stars, who are no strangers to controversy themselves, had the nerve to label Jennifer as “calculated.” Some took to social media, labeling Tamra and Teddi as a “trainwreck” and accusing them of jealousy toward Jennifer’s growing popularity and positive image.
One fan wrote, “Tamra and Teddi are just jealous of Jennifer’s authenticity. It’s so transparent, they’re the ones who are calculated. She’s just being a decent human being.” Another echoed similar sentiments, saying, “Tamra and Teddi need to take a long look in the mirror. Jennifer has nothing but compassion for others, and it’s clear they’re just mad because they can’t handle her light.”
