The Real Housewives of Orange County star Jennifer Pedranti came to the defense of her son after he was slammed for an Easter photo she shared on Instagram.
Jennifer shared a picture with her two sons on Easter, writing, “Happy Easter…🐣 I went to church with the kids this morning (minus Evie, she’s in Hawaii 🌈). Wishing everyone a very Happy Easter! Xoxo 🐰.”
In the picture, one of Jennifer’s sons, Dawson Pedranti, was wearing a ‘Freedom’ shirt that many quickly realized was related to the late conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk.
Many of Jennifer’s followers immediately took issue with the shirt.
“Not Charlie Kirk merch,” one person wrote, while another noted, “A Charlie Kirk shirt….why am I not surprised…”
“Clown a** shirt for a clown a** family lol,” a third person stated.
Still, another noted, “Jesus & a Charlie Kirk shirt don’t belong in the same sentence. Jesus would have stood against everything Charlie stands for.”
Jennifer was quick to show she’s a mama bear and jumped to her son’s defense.
“WARNING!!” she replied to a critic. “Go f*** off! That’s my kid who at 19 years old decided to sign up for the Marines to defend a**holes like you! He can wear whatever he wants.”
“I’d love to see you survive ONE of his days in reconnaissance,” she continued. “Weak a**hole spreading negativity on Easter. What a dirt bag you are!”
Her son’s T-shirt also got some positive comments, with one person writing, “Church and a Freedom Tee. Love it!”
Jennifer responded to that person, revealing her son “wears this T all the time” and “he’s proud.”
Aside from Jennifer’s Easter post, fans were shocked when Tamra Judge shared a photo with her on Good Friday, captioning it, “It’s definitely a very Good Friday.”
While the two were at each other’s throats during the last season of RHOC, it seems the tables have turned, and they now appear to be on good terms.
“Cheeseburgers, fries, drinks.. and one heck of a convo!!! 😂😂😂❤️,” Jennifer commented.
RHOC‘s 20th season is currently filming, and both Jennifer and Tamra will appear on it.
Also back is Vicki Gunvalson, returning to a full-time role for the first time since season 13.
Vicki’s return to the franchise was announced at BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas. While on stage, Andy Cohen invited her to return to the show, which she quickly accepted.
