RHOC Star Jennifer Pedranti Addresses Ryan’s MLB Scandal, Rental Drama With Gina, and Relationship With Tamra, Plus Her Yoga Income, If Shannon Changed After DUI, and Alexis and John - suong

Jennifer also played a game in which she was asked to say nice things about Gina, including her decision to live separately from her boyfriend, Travis Mullen.

“I didn’t understand in the beginning but when Gina explained it, she’s like taking care of business, and for whatever reason, she feels like this is best for her and her kids,” Jennifer noted, proceeding to applaud Gina for her successful career in real estate.

“She hustles,” Jennifer shared, adding that she’s jealous that Gina “owns a home and [is] established in her career.”

“I feel bad about that because I do have a good work ethic, but she’s just, look at her, look where she’s at. Look where I’m at,” Jennifer continued of Gina’s hard-working habits.

When a caller wanted to know why she gave Tamra a clean slate after she targeted her and Ryan throughout season 17, Jennifer admitted it is “easier to be on Tamra’s good side.”

“[And] you have to remember I’ve known her for so long, and so that was a friendship that mattered, and [Eddie Judge] mattered. I spent a lot of time with Eddie so I’m kind of a sucker,” Jennifer confessed.

As for her finances, and Tamra telling Eddie she should get off her butt and work, Jennifer admitted her yoga classes weren’t paying the bills.

“I own the business so I’m constantly trying to build the business so I feel like I’m always working. I think people don’t understand [RHOC] is a job too, so I’m working, but when you’re filming you don’t talk about that,” she explained. “Everybody’s like, ‘Does she just teach a couple classes for $50?’ I own the studio, and so you’re constantly trying to build and grow, but as it sits right now, it’s not enough.”

According to Jennifer, she believes that despite claims to the contrary, Shannon has changed in the months since her DUI and hit-and-run arrest.

“100 percent yes. She looks amazing, she talks so open and honest about it … I do think she is [a changed woman],” Jennifer stated.

While Jennifer has grown close to Shannon in recent months, she said she believed Alexis, 47, and John would make it down the aisle.

“They 100 percent are end game and I do think they are going to marry. And I like Shannon. And I’ve been around John and Shannon, and the dynamic with John and Alexis is different,” she explained. “[Alexis] rides hard for him. She does.”
