Ohtani’s ex-interpreter reportedly wired money to ‘Real Housewives’ star to pay gambling debts

A name that might be familiar to regular watchers of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” has come up in connection to the criminal case against Shohei Ohtani’s former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara.

Ryan Boyajian, who appeared in all 17 episodes of the long-running reality series last season as the boyfriend of cast member Jennifer Pedranti, was a middle man between Mizuhara and alleged illegal bookmaker Mathew Bowyer, according to a report from ESPN that cited unnamed sources.

According to ESPN, Boyajian is the person referred to as “Associate 1” in the federal complaint against Mizuhara.
