Last week, on the Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18, Episode 12, some of the ladies were having dinner with their SOs at Katie Ginella’s home. Unsurprisingly, Tamra Judge got into an alcohol-fueled fight with Jennifer Pedranti’s boyfriend, Ryan Boyajian. We all know Tamra’s not a fan.
In a sneak peek of Episode 13, Tamra totters out to the car, dropping her keys along the way. “I’m done. Get in the car,” she says to herself. Fortunately, she and Eddie Judge have a driver waiting. Eddie stays at the table, sighing, “It doesn’t need to be like this.”
But Jennifer takes the outburst in stride. “She’s Tamra,” she laughs. “That’s what she does.”
Tamra Judge says Ryan’s being investigated by the FBI
Concerned about her guest, Katie follows Tamra to the car. “Girlfriend,” she says, opening the car door. “Why’d you leave?”
“I’m not putting up with that guy,” Tamra says. “She knows he’s a piece of sh*t. Ask her about the FBI … Now there’s an [FBI investigation] going on about illegal gambling … It’s disgusting. He’s a horrible human being.”
In a confessional, Tamra goes on to tell us, “There’s an account on Instagram that broke down everything: what was going on in Las Vegas, things about his partner …”
Instagram user @georgiosays reports, “$595,000 was paid to Ryan and Ryan’s company … and when Ryan was asked where that money was coming from, he just simply ‘couldn’t remember’ — allegedly.”
“Also allegedly,” Tamra adds, “Ryan’s partner’s business address is Ryan’s home address.” Well, that’s a little fishy.
Giving up on Tamra returning to the table, Katie tells Eddie that Tamra’s ready to go. With a sigh, Eddie makes his farewells and heads out to join his wife in the car.
As he says goodbye to Jennifer, she asks him to “Take care of that for me, help me with that,” pointing towards Tamra in the car.
In her own confessional, Jennifer explains, “After how far Tamra and I have come, I would love to sit here and say I’m blindsided by this behavior, but it was a matter of time. It’s hard because I love … and respect [Eddie] tremendously. But Tamra can’t help herself. She’s not loyal to anyone. And certainly not me.”
Emily notes that “Ryan goes to Vegas like it’s his job”
“Tamra’s very upset,” Katie tells the remaining guests. “She just said, ‘Ask him about the FBI.'”
As all eyes turn to Ryan, he responds, “Gosh, that’s so interesting. One of my closest friends is going through something and has been since September. She must be talking about Matt.” I’m just not buying the innocent act.
He adds that his buddy Matt is a professional gambler who also has a bookie business. Apparently, he’s in some trouble, “[But] I’m not able to talk about it.”
That’s when Emily Simpson decides to get to the bottom of the story and starts asking questions. In a confessional, she says, “I’ve heard the rumors about Ryan and the FBI and some partner that he’s involved with being investigated by the FBI. I don’t know details; I don’t know if it’s true … Ryan goes to Vegas like it’s his job. His career is going to Vegas.”
When Katie apologizes to the group for the way the night went, Emily adds, “It’s not your fault. It’s Ryan’s fault!”
