Throughout season 18 of the Real Housewives of Orange County, Jennifer Pedranti has experienced some embarrassing yet relatable financial issues following her divorce from her ex-husband, William Pedranti.
Jennifer Pedranti was open and honest about the fact that she never learned how to handle any of the financial aspects of her life throughout her marriage. So, when she and her ex-husband split, Jennifer got a crash course in surviving the real world. Ultimately, Jennifer was evicted from her rental home but was able to fall back on her then-boyfriend, now fiancé, Ryan Boyajian, who offered her and her kids to move in with him.
Earlier this season, Gina Kirschenheiter put Jennifer on blast concerning finances and eviction after she put her reputation as a real estate agent on the line to help Jennifer secure her rental home. Gina argued that she looked foolish when Jennifer failed to pay her rent after vouching for the RHOC star.
Likewise, Emily Simpson also questioned Jennifer’s spending habits, noting that nothing adds up. The 47-year-old lawyer wondered if Jennifer’s financial issues were real, considering her continued lavish lifestyle, including vacations, pricey jewelry, two Rolex watches, and more. Emily points out that despite Jennifer’s quote on quote financial issues, the RHOC star has yet to change her spending habits.
Yet, RHOC fans haven’t seen the last of Jennifer’s money woes play out in the series.
Heather Dubrow teases that more about Jennifer Pedranti’s financials will be revealed during season 18.
During a recent Watch What Happens Live After Show, a caller asked about Heather’s take on Emily’s comments concerning Jennifer’s financial situation.
“This happens more. I don’t want to give anything away,” Heather hints, noting that she will make a“comment about something down the road.”
“I think the truth is, we are all questioning what’s going on with her [Jennifer],” she adds.
Just recently, Jennifer admitted that she has not seen a dime from her divorce settlement.
While appearing on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live earlier this month, the RHOC star revealed that her ex has not made payments on their divorce settlement and child support.
“I know everything in my divorce is finalized. Unfortunately, my ex is still in a spot, and so everything when it comes to the lot of the expenses is on me and if I didn’t have the Housewives job, you know, I really don’t know where I would be, so I’m just grateful that I do have that,” the RHOC star explained. “Unfortunately, he has not been able to make those payments.”
In July, Jennifer Pedranti was awarded a six-figure lump sum in her divorce settlement from her ex-husband, William Pedranti.
According to court documents, Jennifer and William will share joint legal and physical custody of their four minor children: Dawson, Greyson, Everleigh, and Dominic.
The children will continue to reside with the 47-year-old Bravo star. William will pay Jennifer $4,674 per month in child support for the four children.
She is also set to receive $1,735 monthly in spousal support from William, but it will terminate if and when she remarries.
Jennifer Pedranti was also awarded two bank accounts, a retirement account, and all interest in her company, Devi Rebel Yoga. William also agreed to pay the RHOC star a one-time lump sum of $267,811 “in order to equalize the divison of the community assets and debts.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
