Real Housewives of Orange County released Reunion Part 1 on November 7, 2024, on Bravo, and brought all the heat from the season to the table. The housewives were eager to unload all the drama, accusations, and various conflicts from the season.
Andy Cohen hosted the Housewives of Season 18 and welcomed them announcing that their season was the 100th season of the franchise. As he went to have a one-to-one conversation with all the ladies, they shared their life updates with him. Emily Simpson who is an attorney by profession, pointed out that Ryan Boyajian, Jennifer Pedranti's fiance wanted her to maintain distance from Emily because of her profession.
Emily also claimed that she had "read" about Ryan's legal issues making some waves. This matter escalated as Jennifer did not shy away from clapping back at Emily and accusing her that "her lifestyle is funded by her in-laws".
Emily decided to avoid the claim at that point, however, she responded to the claim via her Instagram story after the reunion aired. She said:
"If my in-laws ‘funded our lifestyle’ I’d be living WAY larger than I am right now. I’d be on private jets with Heather Dubrow. They do not.”
Real Housewives of Orange County Reunion Part 1: Jennifer and Emily clash over financial accusations
Real Housewives of Orange County star Jennifer Pedranti was asked about her marriage during the Reunion Part 1 episode by Andy Cohen, and the audience got to know that the couple would be tying the knot in 2025 during summer time. Jenifer got engaged to Ryan Boyajian in April 2024, who was mentioned several times in Season 18 due to his involvement in a financial feud with Tamra Judge.
In Reunion, episode 18, Emily Simpson brought the topic up, telling Jennifer that she should be more cautious of Ryan's involvement in the financial scandal. Jennifer had her man's back and claimed that he was innocent and had been granted immunity as well. Emily Simpson answered back to Jennifer during the reunion, saying:
"That’s not true. I’m telling you everything I’ve read, he is involved. And for order to him to have immunity, he testifies."
This made Jennifer question back Emily's research skills and her source of information as she asked her:
"I don’t know where everyone gets that."
However, Emily justified her claims by pressing on the fact that she was an attorney and had the skill to look into the legalities of issues and seek their authenticity. She also told Jennifer that rather than being accountable or holding Ryan accountable, she was being the "Tammy Wynette's Stand by Your Man thing".
Other castmates of Real Housewives of Orange County sided with Emily and suggested Jennifer to not take Ryan's side. However, Jennifer maintained that he was not indicted as all those scandal news were rumors and he was granted full immunity in the case as well.
Real Housewives of Orange County star Jennifer also mentioned that she found herself guilty because of her involvement in the show as a celebrity, Ryan had to receive unnecessary spotlight, and the matter got aired more. She said:
"I knew this article was coming, we were told. When it came out, I felt like, ‘This is on me,’ because if I wasn’t sitting on this couch, he wouldn’t have been mentioned.”
