Jennifer Pedranti Fiance Ryan Boyajian Suing Tamra Judge for Defamation
The ongoing feud between Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge and Ryan Boyajian, the fiancé of Jennifer Pedranti, has escalated quickly after Ryan revealed he is suing Tamra.
The drama began when Tamra claimed on a recent episode that Ryan’s home was raided by the FBI as part of an investigation into a scandal involving MLB player Shohei Ohtani, who was allegedly robbed of $16 million by his interpreter.
Tamra took things further during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, implying that Ryan had stolen money from a Dodgers player, possibly referring to Ohtani. “We sell more in a month than what you stole from the Dodgers player,” she said in defense of her businesses.
However, after being served with lawsuit papers from Ryan, Tamra posted an apology on her Instagram, walking back her accusations. She explained, “I misspoke… I didn’t mean to say that Ryan stole the money. I meant Vena made more money than what was stolen from the Dodger player.”
Ryan confirmed on September 28 that he had served Tamra with lawsuit papers the day before, responding to a fan on Instagram: “Facts. I had Tamra served yesterday.” Ryan has hired Geoff Neri, the same attorney who represented Jim Bellino in a defamation lawsuit against Tamra and Shannon Beador years ago.
The lawsuit adds to Tamra’s previous legal woes, as her prior case with Jim Bellino ended in a settlement that cost her hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Ryan Boyajian is currently embroiled in a legal investigation tied to a Major League Baseball (MLB) gambling scandal. Ryan’s name surfaced in connection with the theft of $16 million from MLB star Shohei Ohtani, reportedly orchestrated by Ohtani’s interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, who allegedly used Ohtani’s funds to settle gambling debts. Ryan is alleged to have helped facilitate the transfer of these stolen funds into gambling accounts at Las Vegas casinos.
Although Ryan is cooperating with the FBI investigation, he has not confirmed or denied the allegations. His lawyer has indicated that Ryan is not a bookmaker but was linked to the scheme through an associate.
The Real Housewives of Orange County continues to air on Bravo, keeping viewers glued to this unfolding drama.
