Lisa Vanderpump has thrown some shade at Teddi Mellencamp, who was recently fired after three seasons on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. LVP discussed Teddi's departure from the show and her recent scandal with her diet plan program on her new podcast.
Vanderpump originally starred on RHOBH for nine seasons before she left the show after the rest of the cast accused her of manipulating storylines. She is also a famed restaurateur, with restaurants all over the Los Angeles area and one in Las Vegas. From these restaurants emerged the popular Bravo series, Vanderpump Rules. Now Vanderpump has a new podcast and isn't holding anything back.
According to People, Lisa Vanderpump recently spoke out on her experience working with Teddi Mellencamp. On a recent episode of her new podcast, All Things Vanderpump, the former housewife revealed she wasn't very fond of the mother of three. "I don’t know, people said because she was boring. I certainly didn’t have a good experience with her, so boring would be one of the nicer things that I could say," she said. This news is quite shocking since Lisa and Teddi seemed quite close during the one season they were on together. The 60-year-old then touched on Teddi's recent backlash against her weight loss program, All In By Teddi, which many claimed encourages disordered eating. "Also, I think there was something of contention about her business," said the restaurateur. "Something about 500 calories a day. I don't know how anybody can survive on 500 calories a day. I think I eat 500 calories between 2:30 and 4:30 a.m. when I'm up in the night," she joked.
Teddi's weight loss program came into some controversy after a social media influencer named Emily Gellis Lande shared anonymous messages from former clients alleging that the program would only allow them to consume 500-1,000 calories a day and required an hour of daily cardio. Teddi came out to defend her program by letting the fans know that the program is very transparent from the beginning about what it will ask of you. "I guess whatever works for you — but apparently it didn't for everybody," Vanderpump added on the podcast episode. She finished off the episode with some serious shade towards Teddi. "Anyway, wish Teddi Mellencamp all the best... said no one ever. Okay, moving on."
Teddi was recently fired from RHOBH after three seasons due to her contract now being renewed—or at least, that's the claim she made in an Instagram video. She compared the end of her tenure with the show to the ending of a romantic relationship. She concluded the video by saying she will miss the show, but that she is "pretty busy with this lil' nuggs," panning the camera to her 6-month-old daughter, Dove. It seems as though Lisa and Teddi are not as friendly as they once were. Judging by Lisa's current podcast episode, it sounds like she does not plan on ever trying to mend whatever relationship they had while on the show.
