Real Housewives of Orange County star Jennifer Pedranti calls out Tamra Juddge’s penchant for being nasty and causing drama when she drinks.
Jennifer Pedranti admits that she was hopeful at the start of season 18 that she and Tamra Judge could work through their friendship woes and move forward.
However, by the end of the season, that pipe dream blew up right in Jennifer Pedranti’s face when Tamra Judge brought up her fiance, Ryan Boyajian’s legal drama with the FBI on camera.
“We give it a go. We give it a go, and we have a lot of fun in the beginning. Tamra and I had a lot of fun and I will tell you, it felt great to be in that spot with her, and then patterns repeat themselves,” Jennifer says of her season 18 friendship with Tamra.
“Why do you think she has such a vendetta against your relationship?” the 47-year-old RHOC star was asked in an interview with DECIDER.
“You know, if somebody would answer this question for me, I would be forever grateful. I don’t know. And I don’t care anymore,” Jennifer replied.
The interviewer followed up by noting, “Now, when we talked to Tamara, she said she had no intention of bringing anything up at that dinner, but it all came out after she had, quote, a few too many drinks. Is that a valid excuse for that kind of behavior?”
Jennifer then notes that Tamra’s behavior towards Shannon Beador‘s drinking is quite hypocritical, considering how nasty Tamra gets when she drinks.
“It is an excuse. It’s always the excuse. And that was, that’s what was so hard for me was Shannon, like you talk about Shannon’s drinking problem, [but never acknowledge your own issue],” she said.
She continues, “I get that it’s vastly different, but Tamra has a problem when she drinks. We all suffer the wrath of her when she drinks too much. She will say she has the awareness of it — well then, work on that. Do better.”
“I personally was going through a lot of lows in my life, and I have this girlfriend, Shannon, who’s also going through a really low in her life,” Jennifer added. “And I’m like, this is not the time to leave a friend. This is not when you kick somebody when they’re down.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
