Jennifer Pedranti is responding to Emily Simpson’s resentment over their different upbringings and updating viewers on where they stand.

Jennifer Pedranti, a standout on the show, has found herself explaining that her upbringing was simply different from that of Emily Simpson. In a candid statement on the Chanel in the City podcast, she emphasized that the contrast in their backgrounds isn’t something she could control, nor is it a reflection of any personal shortcomings on her part.
“With Emily, I still see a soul. I see pain, I see — I’m not her mom. I had, actually, a very opposite upbringing than she had. And she wants to be mad at me because I have love and I have support and all of the things she did not have, but that’s not my fault. And I think if Emily gave me a shot, what an amazing friend I would love to be to Emily.”

“I feel like she just needs to heal,” Jennifer added. “And instead of healing, she’s just lashing, and that’s not right. I feel like she’s acknowledging that she has growing to do there.”

Having different upbringings doesn't give you the right to lash out because you're triggered. How has she gotten this far in life without getting some sort of professional help? Everything and everyone seems to bother Emily in some way and she needs to get a grip! Kudos to Jennifer for giving her grace.
Amen
Perhaps one of the nicest things I have seen one HW say about another with whom they do not get along.
Good for Jennifer!
I think Emily holds resentment toward anyone who is genuinely happy – because she isn’t . And at her age , to keep whining and excusing her bad behavior due to her mom- is absurd . Grow up ! You’re an attorney , a mother , a wife , an adult . Get a grip and do better already
Emily Rebecca Simpson's history as an atty appears to be sketchy. She's been noncompliant and/or privileges suspended for failure to pay dues. Apparently mommy-in-"law" has cut her off from to time … hence the "party planning" shtick.
Full agreement
Is Jenn for real? Is she actually sucking up to Emily??? Emily is a self centered cry baby who loves to scream victim while being lavishly supported by her husband's parents. I actually feel SORRY for her mother who she insists on publicly persecuting for sympathy. Jennifer Aniston vibes for sure. Adults who whine about their childhoods are disgusting. Grow up and get a life but then I guess Emily wouldn't have a story line. Crying about being fat only works for so many seasons.
I think she really is just a nice non conflict person . We cannot have all aholes , such as Tams , creating havoc constantly . We need one nice girl lol
I see her Soul?? ok Ms. Cleo.
