“Real Housewives of Orange County” star Jennifer Pedranti commented on her ongoing feud with her co-star Tamra Judge during an August 2023 interview with Access Hollywood’s “Housewives Nightcap.” Pedranti noted that Judge questioned her boyfriend, Ryan Boyajian, in the show’s 17th season. As fans are aware, Judge, who was friends with the couple before filming season 17, alleged that Boyajian had an affair while he was with Pedranti. Pedranti said that her co-star’s claim was false. However, the 46-year-old stated that Boyajian did have a sexual encounter with another person when they “were on a break.”
While speaking to Access Hollywood’s “Housewives Nightcap,” Pedranti stated that she no longer considers Judge a friend following the production of RHOC season 17. The mother of five shared that she feels disheartened about the situation because she “really valued that friendship.” She also suggested that she believed Judge’s reaction to her relationship was not authentic and referenced that she rejoined the RHOC cast for season 17 following a two-year absence.
“I miss my friendship, and I don’t know her this way, this is not how I knew her in my life with her. So I go through all of those – is this for TV? Is this for this, is this for that? Is this her role? And I will say, I think she came back with pressure, I think she had a lot of pressure. And she needed to come back big and I’m grateful that I didn’t have that pressure, so I want to believe that maybe that’s what it is,” said the yoga instructor.
In addition, Pedranti stated she did not expect to have issues with Judge during season 17.
“I certainly didn’t anticipate everything that came at me and don’t understand why those conversations were waited for on camera, why that didn’t happen between Tamra and I years before in our lives, so yeah, that’s hurtful,” said the mother of five.

Pedranti shared similar comments about her friendship with Judge in a July 2023 interview on Hollywood Life’s “Pay Attention Puh-Lease!” podcast. She stated that she was unhappy with the Vena CBD co-founder’s remarks regarding her relationship.
“My friends matter to me. I don’t know — I’m like, ‘Was any of our friendship ever real for her? Did I ever matter? Is everything a moving piece for Tamra? Has she been in this world to long?’ You know, the things Tamra says hurt because it was real for me, she was real for me,” stated the mother of five.
During the August 2023 Access Hollywood’s “Housewives Nightcap” episode, Pedranti suggested she is unsure if she will mend her relationship with Judge. She stated that she attempted to reconcile several times with her castmate while filming RHOC season 17. However, the mother of five said that they were unable to move past their issues. She clarified that she would forgive Judge if she sincerely apologized.
“I am a very forgiving person, truly but truly you have to really – I mean I can’t keep going in this cycle of ‘You’re my friend and now you are dogging everything about my relationship and my partner, which before we were filming, you were great with him.’ I need to move past it, truly. Like she’s going to truly have to move past it — and an apology and I can accept an apology,” said the mother of five.
Jennifer Pedranti Responded to Tamra Judge’s Claims About Her Relationship
In a July 2023 interview on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” alongside her castmate Emily Simpson, Judge stated that Pedranti kept dating Boyajian because she wanted to ensure that she would become a season 17 cast member.
“When Jenn was going through the casting process is when she actually found out that Ryan was cheating on her. And she chose to stay with him because she’s afraid she wouldn’t get cast on the show,” stated the 55-year-old.
Pedranti asserted Judge’s “Watch What Happens Live” allegation was untrue during a July 2023 interview with Us Weekly.
“Like what? What are you even talking about? You think that I’m going to stay in a cheating relationship because I’m worried that I’m not going to get cast? I mean that’s like the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard,” said Pedranti.
