Selling Sunset is staying on the market. The hit Netflix show, which details the dramatic highs and lows of The Oppenheim Group and the high-end glitz of Los Angeles real estate, has...Glam has been a hot topic of conversation lately. On a recent episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Erika Jayne admitted it’s something she can’t “downsize.” Despite being sued left and right, not to mention the optics, Erika considers her glam “art.” Uber rich cast members like Kyle Richards and Crystal Kung Minkoff expressed how silly it was to spend so much money on unnecessary glam. Like when you’re going to dinner on the beach. But Erika is someone who previously boasted paying $40K a month on glam and clothes.
But not every housewife can afford to do full glam, even with Housewives repping itself as aspirational. See Gina Kirschenheiter who spent her first few seasons on Real Housewives of Orange County rocking some unfortunate extensions. Now former RHOBH cast member Teddi Mellencamp is blaming glam for her demise from the show.
As reported by Reality Blurb, Teddi talked about it on an episode of Melissa Gorga’s podcast On Display. When talk turned to why Teddi thinks she was fired, she provided a surprising response. She shared, “Well, I think my very first season, I started out — this is gonna sound, I’m just gonna be blunt with you, I’m gonna be completely honest — I didn’t have much money.”
Teddi explained, “I dressed differently. I did everything differently. I couldn’t get glammed, none of that stuff, because you know how much you get paid your first season as a Housewife.” Melissa, who is a seasoned veteran chimed in to say “zero.” Teddi reiterated, “Like barely anything.” Melissa then noted, “I’m just gonna say ‘zero’ because after you pay for your first outfit and your first round of hair and makeup…”
Given that Teddi went on to another two full seasons on RHOBH, I’m not sure why she would think glam was the problem. She did step it up in her subsequent seasons. And we have seen plenty of housewives who don’t focus on glam. Bethenny Frankel comes to mind. Sure, she had hair and makeup as the show progressed, but she didn’t make it central to her persona on the show. It was shown as almost an afterthought. Unlike RHOBH, which gives us multiple scenes of the women in hair and makeup for just about every event.
Regardless, Teddi has previously said that she was “surprised” by her firing. She noted back in December, “At the end of my season, I was mad. I texted, the quote I texted was: ‘I’ve trended on Twitter every single week from hate and you aren’t giving me anything else but the negative. Please, I’m doing the work, I’m showing up. I need you to show my life in some other capacity.’ And ultimately, the goodbye happened two weeks later.”

Eight former Housewives are about to rock the Berkshires. Season two of Peacock's Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip (now streaming) is bringing together some of the most beloved...What a sweetheart! Following his breakup with former The Bachelorette Katie Thurston, John Hersey is continuing to support his ex-girlfriend by imploring haters to “speak more kindly.”
After an Internet troll placed the blame on Katie for not being able to “get a guy,” John quickly jumped in to defend her honor, as reported by Us Magazine.
“You will speak a finite number of words throughout your life. I urge you to speak more kindly. Especially about someone you don’t know,” John clapped back in response to the comment. “I have never been so supported or unconditionally loved by a partner. Assuming and implying that Katie is doing anything wrong does not sit right with me.”
John concluded his response with the request, “The Internet can be a mean place — let’s not add to it.”
Katie first hinted at a breakup on Monday, June 20, when she wrote on her Instagram, “Statement: No, we aren’t together.”
John also confirmed the breakup the next day by posting on his Instagram, “I love being able to share special moments with you all — the funny ones. The happy ones. The outrageous, embarrassing, and heartfelt ones. But I don’t know if it will ever get easier to share the sad ones. As Katie stated earlier, we are no longer dating . . . This decision was not made lightly, and it was obviously not an easy one to make.”
He concluded with, “I appreciate every one of you that has supported us throughout this journey. We could not (and would not) be here without you.”
Katie and John first met on Season 17 of The Bachelorette, but the timing apparently wasn’t right for them, as she sent him home on week two.
Katie went on to get engaged to Blake Moynes in the finale, but the two split only three months after the show finished airing (sadly closer to the norm than the exception in Bachelor Nation). At the time of their breakup, Blake implied that Katie had “emotionally cheated on him” with John.
“I really don’t think there was any physical cheating there,” Blake admitted at the time. “But there [was] clearly emotional [cheating] for it to transition as quickly as it did. I feel stupid and foolish for allowing it to happen, to some degree.”
Katie denied that there was ever any overlap between the two relationships.
“We both knew our relationship was not working out,” the former bank marketing manager said of Blake’s reaction. “My relationship with Blake was a very separate situation [from] my relationship with John. There was not overlap. There was nothing but respect. It’s just two different situations.”
John also came to Katie’s defense at the time, claiming that Blake was “capitalizing” off the broken engagement, implying that her ex was just trying to get more attention and publicity.
In Katie‘s defense, John stated, “I watched how much effort she put into that relationship while it was falling apart. And what really pissed me off . . . was when there started to be a narrative get painted that she was putting no effort in, and Blake was the only one putting effort in at the end.”
“And furthermore,” John continued, “that in that time, where she was ‘absent,’ that she was somehow emotionally cheating with me . . . It just pissed me off.”
You tell ’em, John! How many guys out there would defend their ex-girlfriend so vociferously after their breakup? I nominate John to go to Bachelor in Paradise. This guy deserves to find love — and also to get a free Mexican vacation.
