Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave Upset Erika Girardi Liked A Tweet Wanting Teddi Fired From Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills
March 21, 2018
After a brutal episode last week squaring off with both Erika Girardi and Dorit Kemsley, things went a lot better for Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave during the last episode.
She got an apology from Erika, before getting that contractually obligated invitation to the Berlin cast trip and it will be interesting to see where things go from here. In real life, months after this season was filmed, Erika and Teddi have been dragging each other on Twitter, so even if things did improve between the two of them, clearly it was only temporary.
Teddi discussed the last episode in a Bravo blog post. I don’t blame Teddi for being upset when she watched Dorit cringing when she answered the phone. She thought it was all good based on the verbal aspect of the conversation, but Dorit’s facial expression told a whole other story.
Teddi admitted, “I have to say, seeing how Dorit has reacted every time I call her doesn’t give me the warm and fuzzies. What else can I say? I called to apologize as soon as possible and that wasn’t good enough. What’s funny though, is that I didn’t mind when she ran to Erika and exaggerated what was said at my beach house. I owned what I actually said and moved on. But my phone call isn’t enough. Okay. Dorit seems to be the conductor of the Gaslight Express.” Well, yeah. If anyone is working hard to earn that diamond in the opening credits, it’s Dorit.
And then she addressed Erika’s apology: “I am accepting of and grateful for Erika’s apology and am willing to move on and be cordial in return.”
And a sentence later, Teddi shared a screen shot from one of the tweets that Erika liked and wrote: “But what I don’t understand is how you can be preaching women empowerment and saying we should build each other up but then liking tweets such as this.” The tweet in question read: “I agree!!! Teddi is a shit stirrer & boring as f-ck. Erika rightfully called her out. Fire Teddi.”
Teddi wrote, “You can be shady all you want (as I know I can be), but co-signing that you wish another woman would lose her job doesn’t scream ‘you go, girl!’ in quite a positive way.”
TELL US- IS TEDDI A GOOD FIT FOR REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS? DO YOU WANT TEDDI TO RETURN FOR A SECOND SEASON? DO YOU THINK THAT ERIKA’S APOLOGY TO TEDDI WAS GENUINE? WAS IT INAPPROPRIATE FOR ERIKA TO LIKE THAT TWEET ABOUT TEDDI OR IS TEDDI OVERREACTING?
