Teddi Mellencamp has no plans to ever return to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She held a diamond on Seasons 8 through 10 but was let go in 2020.

While recording their Two Ts in a Pod podcast on June 17, Teddi told Tamra Judge that she didn’t care if she ever returned to the show. She told the Real Housewives of Orange County regular that the RHOBH cast just didn’t get her quirky humor.

“I don’t think I would ever come back to Beverly Hills,” Teddi said. “There’s no self-deprecation in Beverly Hills, and that’s a huge part of who I am. It’s making fun of myself.”

The BH ladies are too uptight

In addition to their inability to make fun of themselves, Teddi called the Beverly Hills ladies “stuffy.” She recalled that her former castmates warned her about making unflattering comments while they were filming.

If she referred to herself as “a hot mess,” they would say, “’Teddi, don’t say that. They’re going to use that.’ Like, it doesn’t make it fun.”

However, she did tell Tamra that, compared to RHOBH, she enjoyed filming an episode of the upcoming Season 18 of RHOC with her.

“I filmed with Tamra once this season, and I said to her [afterward] … ‘The most fun I had filming [Housewives] was doing that episode of Orange County,’” Teddi confessed.

Teddi is not the only one who’s sworn never to return to RHOBH. Franchise OG Lisa Vanderpump has said multiple times she would never come back to the show.

“It would never happen,” she said. “Not in a million years. I left [RHOBH] with a cloud of dust behind me. Never.”

Neither is the Vanderpump Rules producer interested in reconciling with any of her former castmates unless they offered her a genuine apology.

“I think if there’s a true apology,” the restauranteur said. “[If] actually somebody says, ‘You know what? I really regret it, and I’m really sorry that I said that’ … Then yes. There will always be room. But you’ll never get that from them.”

I don’t think Lisa’s holding her breath, and neither am I.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is now streaming on Peacock.

When Reality Hits With Jax & Brittany had the estranged couple teasing Season 2 of The Valley. Cindy Cee posted a preview on Twitter with the caption, “The Valley starts filming in July and Jax has already excluded someone from an invite to his birthday party.”

“We are starting in July,” Brittany confirmed during her podcast. “We are so excited to come back. Hopefully, we’ll get even more episodes this season. And, here we go.”

“Yeah, we decided because we didn’t have the reunion we’re coming back a little quicker,” Jax explained. “And now everybody’s a well-oiled, now well-oiled, you know, all the what to expect and what to do. I think everybody did a great job. I think everyone’s going to do another great job.”

Jax then teased drama that he’s already creating, one month before filming stars.

“I already know one person that’s not invited to my birthday. But I don’t give it away,” he said.

“Golly, you’re already starting sh-t and we haven’t even started yet,” Brittany joked. “Well, I love everybody so I’m glad that I’m going to go in without drama. Other than with you.”

The veteran Bravolebrity called the cast getting along “boring TV.”

“OK, we can’t all fight and hate each other. There has to be somebody that wants to share a little one,” Brittany suggested. “I’m going to have to be the peacekeeper in this group forever I feel like.”

She can certainly be given credit for peace-keeping with her estranged husband, as the two are still co-hosting a podcast together. As for The Valley, filming will begin in mid-July.

Monica Garcia Responds to ‘Terrible Lie’ She Failed Traitors Psych Test

When Monica Garcia was fired from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, many thought her next stop should be The Traitors, but recent claims suggested she failed the psych test for Season 3 of the show.

On RHOSLC Season 4, fans had never seen the fourth wall so shattered before. Monica was one of a handful of people running an account dedicated to taking down now-convicted felon, Jen Shah. It was absolutely wild. Now, Monica’s making headlines for different reasons.

An Instagram post from The Neighborhood Talk alleged that Monica was “booted from [The Traitors] because she failed a psych exam.” The report caught the attention of Housewives fans and even Monica herself. So, what did the former RHOSLC star have to say in response?

Monica threatens legal action over Traitors psych test claims

In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Monica candidly said, “Honestly, the fact that people believe that blows my mind.” She further expressed, “Like, we really will just believe anything. It’s actually crazy. I wish I did do Traitors, but maybe next season.” Frankly, Monica had a point. Internet users can be quick to trust, especially in the world of reality TV.

Nevertheless, The Neighborhood Talk defended their report when Monica commented on their post. The outlet claimed the news was from “a very close source,” in response to Monica’s comment saying, “This is actually terrible that you would post this. Complete lie. Disgusting!!”

In another comment, she responded, “Let’s get on the call with the executives together. Let’s find out how good your source is. I am the source. I didn’t even do one interview. Pathetic and absolutely disgusting.” She also said she would take “legal action” against the “insanely damaging and FALSE” claim. It wouldn’t be the first time she hit back at harsh claims.

Monica also responded to the claim on her Instagram Stories. She wrote, “I didn’t even go through the process of Traitors to where I would even be asked to take a psych evaluation.” She reemphasized that she “was never even asked to take a psych evaluation.”

Heather Dubrow is making moves, folks, and announced a clothing line. As with any smart Bravolebrity, the Real Housewives of Orange County star is looking to branch out. Of course, this wouldn’t be the first time.

Heather has ventured out into the world of acting on more than one occasion. With Shop HQ, she released various luxury items. She also authored three books with her husband, and the two released a skincare line together.

Now, with all of that experience at her back, Heather is entering the clothing business. However, details on the upcoming clothing line remain sparse. Read on to see everything that Heather and her workmates revealed so far.

Heather teams up with New York designer Susan Bender for the clothing line

On June 17, Heather posted a video to Instagram, teasing her upcoming project. “SNEAK PEEK!!” she wrote in the post’s caption. “So excited to share a little peek into what we’ve been working on… We are so excited!” The video saw someone cutting and working with fabrics as Heather did a voiceover.

“Hi everyone,” she said. “Heather Dubrow here. I have been working on something that you are absolutely going to love. Stay tuned. It’s coming your way soon!” Heather posted the video on her Instagram account. However, on top of that, she posted the video to a joint Instagram account with New York fashion designer Susan Bender.

Going to that account will reveal the video that Heather posted, along with two other posts. One post had a picture of Heather’s “Press for Champagne” panel from her Newport house. The other photo saw Heather placing a zipper over a leather jacket. But as of right now, fans can only speculate about Heather’s upcoming line.

Here’s hoping the clothing brand presents smoother waters than Season 18.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 premieres Thursday, July 11, at 9/8c on Bravo.
