Explosive Showdown: Tamra Judge and Jennifer Pedranti Clash in Epic ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ Reunion Sneak Peek

Tamra Judge's problems with Jennifer Pedranti and her boyfriend Ryan Boyajian are becoming the main focus at the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion. In a sneak peek of part one of the reunion special, set to air on Wednesday, October 4, Tamra, 56, reveals that they had been exchanging text messages for three months while she and Ryan were still together. Tamra confronts Jennifer about the alleged affair Ryan had with another woman during their relationship with the yoga instructor.

Tamra reveals that there was a point in the text messages where Ryan asks Jennifer if she is in a committed relationship, to which she replies negatively. Furthermore, Tamra explains that there was a subsequent conversation between Ryan and Jennifer regarding a risqué picture that she had sent him from their time in the Bahamas.

Jennifer, who is 46 years old, admits to seeing the photo and asserts that Ryan claimed he did not know why he received it. Additionally, Ryan supposedly offered to have a conversation with the woman who sent the picture to clarify the situation. Nevertheless, Jennifer expresses that she is tired of the drama and is ready to move on.

Host Andy Cohen then asks for Shannon Beador's perspective on the ongoing conflict between Tamra and Jennifer, considering her close friendships with both of them.

"In Cancun, I had the opportunity to sit right beside [Tamra] and I couldn't help but intervene, urging her to halt the situation as it was becoming overwhelming," Shannon recalls. "It's already challenging enough to listen to gossip and rumors at a casual brunch setting."

Shannon's thought is being interrupted by Tamra who questions her intentions and accuses her of gossiping about Jennifer and Ryan during a pool party. Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter also claim to have overheard Shannon discussing the drama.

"Jen, believe whatever you want. I've only proven my support to you," Shannon responds, while Gina, 39, advises Jennifer to consider her friend's past actions.

Shannon responds, "Gina, I don't have a history of intentionally harming people, that's you."

As the conversation moves on, Emily, aged 46, decides to shift gears and brings up the topic of Tamra and the incident involving a explicit photo. Jennifer expresses her curiosity about why her fellow cast member had a nude picture of her boyfriend in the first place. Tamra explains that she was with Heather Dubrow when she unintentionally received the photo and took a screenshot.

Jennifer angrily comments, "That is completely messed up! If her husband mistakenly forwarded that message to me, the very first person I would contact is her. Consequently, I would remove it from my phone. It speaks volumes about your character."

"How am I? I didn't send that explicit photo!" Tamra retaliates. "Stop defending this despicable person!"

Jennifer and Ryan's relationship has been the subject of discussion throughout the season of the Bravo series. The RHOC cast members have criticized them for allegedly starting their relationship before Jennifer's divorce from William Pedranti in 2021. In a July episode, Tamra also labeled Ryan as the "promiscuous individual" and accused him of being unfaithful. Tamra later claimed that the couple manipulated the cheating scandal to gain entry onto the show.
