Real Housewives of Orange County star Jennifer Pedranti has responded to the backlash she received after a video of herself and fellow castmate Gretchen Rossi stereotyping Asian Americans went viral.
Katie Ginella slammed the woman, taking offense to the video, which was quickly deleted, but Jennifer denies being racist.
“Here’s a little tip. If you go to my Instagram, there is this thing where you can click unfollow. And if you’re one of the people that constantly want to tell me I’m a sh–ty person, I’m racist, I’m a sh–ty mom, and I’m a bad friend, please, by all means, just go to my Instagram, click unfollow, and then guess what? You’ll never see my stuff again,” she said, before addressing Katie’s supporters.
“I know that you feel like I did all the wrong things in my friendship with Katie. Here’s what I’ll tell you. I feel good about my friendship with Katie. I tried in my friendship with Katie. I tried to communicate things with my friendship [with] Katie, and it didn’t work out. We are where we are.”
“I didn’t lie and I believe that everything I said is exactly my truth. So Katie has an Instagram,” she continued. “I’m gonna attach it on here. I think your intent and need to comment is way better served on her Instagram. Build her Instagram up. Please keep telling her how much you love her. There’s also a very long-running thirsty housewife who would love to hear all of this.”
Katie has reportedly stepped away from the show after the controversial lie detector episode, but fans are begging the popular reality star to return.
