During The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 episode 6, Emily Simpson admits she “wasn’t nice” to her co-star Jen Pedranti. Despite going in on Jen in what seemed to be a very money-related fight, Emily tells Heather Dubrow how she actually was taking issue with her co-star’s “integrity.”
Jen Pedranti is relatively new to the Real Housewives of Orange County. Emily was once a RHOC newbie just like her but the lawyer is not letting anything slide when it comes to Jen’s life. The ladies go for a group dinner during season 18 where “all hell breaks loose,” as Tamra Judge calls Shannon Beador “an alcoholic” and Emily holds nothing back with Jen.
RHOC’s Emily goes in on Jen
As the RHOC ladies attempt to wind down from their explosive dinner in a nice way, Emily lets a snarky comment slip: “Jen needs to pay her bills.”
The whole group is shocked at Emily’s remark but she actually digs even more of a hole adding: “If you wanna walk around with a Rolex on while you owe all of Orange County money…”
Jen claps back: “I’m not selling my watch. I love my watch.”
However, Emily takes things up another notch, adding: “You’re so f***ing stupid. Sell it, and pay back some of your bills.”
Heather Dubrow is shocked
Although Heather has her own fair share of drama to deal with in season 18, it doesn’t stop her giving her five cents on Emily and Jen’s beef.
The Bravo star tells Emily: “You went so hard on her.”
But, Emily continues to defend her comments, telling Heather: “If you owe a bunch of people money, why are you rolling around with a Rolex? Either hide it or sell it… it tells me that you’re stupid.”
As tensions rise, Heather says: “OK, don’t yell at someone because they’re dumb.”
Emily’s roasting of Jen keeps going as she says: “I mean she moves into a house she can’t afford. You know you owe this woman $20,000 or $30,000, whatever, you’re rolling around in your car not paying your car payment with a Rolex on.”
Heather tells her friend: “I mean, she’s clearly not good with money.”
Mom of three, Emily, tells cameras she “had way too many espresso martinis” that night she was “screaming across the table.”
However, her savage comments about Jen don’t stop there as she tells of how the Rolex “didn’t work.”
“I asked her what time it was and she was like ‘Oh, I don’t know it’s broken, it doesn’t work’,” says Emily.
Jen asks if she’s ‘less than’
During the same episode, Jen meets with Tamra Judge at the beach – her “happy place.”
She tells Tamra how she “doesn’t understand” Emily saying “Go pay people back, like, who do I owe money? What is that even insinuating? I owe people money?”
Speaking in a confessional, Jen asks: “Why do you keep taking these digs at me? Like is it funny to you? Am I less than?”
Judging by more of Jen’s confessional moments, she’s no stranger to being on the receiving end of feisty friends.
She tells the cameras she can relate to Shannon Beador: “I’ve been on the receiving end of Tamra, it’s hard, and honestly, the harder Tamra goes, the further it’s going to push Shannon away. It pushed me away at the time…”
Jen was also called a “ding dong” by co-star Gina Kirschenheiter. Speaking on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Gina said she “felt bad” and “apologized” to Jen for calling her “stupid multiple times.”
In July, Jen explained how she “respects” and “looks up to Emily as a woman,” per an interview with Page Six. She said: “I find her to be very smart and successful. To look up to someone and to be so cut because I don’t have what you have or because I’m not in such a great spot, it doesn’t make me dumb. It doesn’t make me less than a woman…”
