“Working that dynamic the entire season was so hard because I like Alexis. I can see how hard it is for Shannon, and being within that dynamic, you’re constantly caught in the middle,” Jennifer Pedranti told Us Weekly. “I’m either pissing Shannon off by being sweet with Alexis, or I’m pissing Alexis off by being friendly with Shannon, and it’s just this battle that goes on for us the entire season.”
Ahead of the RHOC season 18 premiere, Jennifer isn’t sure if fans will end up siding with one OC Housewife over the other.
“I think everybody has compassion for Shannon, for sure,” she said. “And I think everybody wants Alexis to be happy. It is a weird spot.”
While the relationship dynamics on RHOC remain rocky, Jennifer admits her bond with fiancé Ryan Boyajian is stronger than ever.
“The bond between Ryan and me is truly — as cheesy as this sounds — unbreakable,” she said. “It is my forever. It is my other half. It is my soulmate. I know what that means now, and I have a best friend and a soulmate all in one man. Nothing, not one person, not one thing will ever ever ever come between Ryan and me.”
Earlier this year, Ryan was caught up in the $16 million gambling scandal surrounding the former interpreter for Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani. Ryan was the bookmaker’s associate and was the person interpreter Ippei Mizuhara wired money to pay his gambling debts.
After the news of Ryan’s alleged involvement in the gambling scandal broke in the press, the RHOC cast resumed filming for season 18 in order to capture the drama on camera.
Season 18 of The Real Housewives of Orange County premieres on Bravo Thursday, July 11, at 9 p.m. ET.
