Jennifer Pedranti is firing back after seeing that a social media influencer targeted her for mentioning her youngest son, Dominic, whom she adopted with her ex-husband, William Pedranti, at the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion last month.
In a post shared to her Instagram Story on Monday, Jennifer, 48, slammed the woman as a “piece of sh*t” after she suggested that she had mentioned Dominic in a racist manner during her back-and-forth with former friend Katie Ginella, 41.
“Jennifer Pedranti, you can go pluck yourself, you cactus!” the woman, NYC Gal Out, had written in the caption of a video.
She then said in the clip, “Do not bring in your Hispanic child that you adopted because let me tell you, Laura Ingraham is like the biggest racist ever, but she will forever be talking about the kids she adopted from like Mexico or whatever, because that is her permanent ‘I have a Black friend.’”
After seeing the post, Jennifer shared the video on her page with a stern statement.
“Who is this sick piece of sh*t.. you want to attack me? Go for it- you act like my son is my ‘[one] Black friend’ you sick FCK! YOU and this kind of disgusting SHT is the problem with losers like you who have tiny platforms. Are you a mom you sick FCK? I sure hope not. Speak of my son as a token Black friend and you and I will have massive issues. FCKN [LOSER],” she wrote on December 29.
In the full video, which the woman shared on TikTok in November, she defended Katie as she signaled to a clip Jennifer posted on Instagram of herself and Gretchen Rossi, 47, that was deemed culturally inappropriate due to the noises and actions they were making, which seemed to mock Asians.
As fans saw on the reunion, Jennifer mentioned Dominic as she defended herself against allegations of potential racism while also pointing to the many discussions she and Katie, who was also adopted, had about adoption.
However, according to NYC Gal Out, it was only after Andy Cohen, 57, expressed disgust that Jennifer backed down in her defense.
