While filming a segment for Bravo’s upcoming show “Squash That Beef,” Teddi Mellencamp and Vicki Gunvalson got into a heated argument. In addition, Teddi shot back at a BravoCon attendee who questioned why Kyle Richards is constantly “thrusting” Teddi on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast. She also addressed Jeff Lewis’s dubious joke on Teddi’s “All In” weight loss regimen.
Vicki and Teddi are currently at odds, so Teddi shocked Vicki by turning up to a “Squash That Beef” section during a special BravoCon taping of Watch What Happens Live.
“Andy asked Vicki about not letting Teddi come to a ‘Tres Amigas’ show, and things escalated quickly,” said an eyewitness speaking to Us Weekly. “Vicki said she was upset that Teddi joked, ‘Where were you on January 6?’ and Teddi doubled down.”
Per the source, Andy asked the 42-year-old if she truly believed Vicki was at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. [Editor’s Note – There was an attempted insurrection by some of the supporters of President Donald Trump on January 6 after he lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.]
“Things continued to get heated when Teddi said something along the lines of, ‘Vicki is triggered by someone who has real cancer,’” said the source. “Andy said it was clear they weren’t going to squash it and hugged Teddi before she left.”
During a commercial break, Vicki became visibly agitated and engaged in a heated conversation with Andy. The eyewitness reported, “Vicki then asked for a tequila shot and seemed to calm down for the rest of the taping.” Vicki also spoke with castmate Shannon Beador about the matter, who was present during the interview.
In the meantime, a BravoCon attendee questioned Kyle in a video posted on Instagram by @pagesix why she kept “thrusting” Teddi on her RHOBH co-stars.
Teddi responded to the criticism on Instagram, writing, “Anyone who believes that I am not accustomed to this type of statement and that it upsets me is gravely misguided. You can’t stop saying my name, which motivates me to work.
She then boasted that her podcast has “a million downloads from just BravoCon,” and she expressed, “I was there doing my job and did it well.”
At one point in the conference, host Andy Cohen was asked if he ‘hate[s]’ Teddi – to which he responded “no.” Jeff, who was sitting right next to him, joked that he joined Teddi’s “All In” weight loss program, even though “people have died.”
“It was very effective. I lost weight,” he continued the joke in a clip shared by @byewighellodrama on Instagram.
Teddi also shared a clip of this interaction on Instagram, and she claimed she’s “not mad” at Jeff for saying it.
“He loves to make a joke,” she wrote, “and clearly this has no truth to it.”
