Former stars of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Teddi Mellencamp and Lisa Vanderpump have finally mended their years-long feud. When Teddi joined RHOBH in season 8, she and Lisa quickly formed a bond. Lisa, who was an OG of the show, took Teddi under her wing and often mothered her. Teddi also formed a strong friendship with Kyle Richards, who was another OG of RHOBH and had been friends with Lisa for years.
In RHOBH season 10, Teddi found herself in the middle of the “Puppygate” drama between Lisa and Dorit Kemsley. Dorit had adopted a dog from Lisa’s rescue center but gave it away when it bit her daughter. The dog ended up being sent to a shelter, which Lisa’s employees had tracked through the dog’s microchip. Lisa claimed she didn’t want to talk about it so as not to make Dorit look bad, but according to Teddi, Lisa set her up when one of her employees discussed it on camera. Both Teddi and Lisa looked guilty of trying to take Dorit down, and their friendship ended after Lisa left RHOBH.
It’s been years since “Puppygate,” and Lisa and Teddi were never able to hash out their differences until now. In a recent Two T's In A Pod episode, Teddi shared how she was finally able to talk to Lisa during a party at Lisa’s bar, TomTom. Upon walking in, Teddi spotted Lisa’s husband, Ken Todd, and asked him if it was a “good idea to try to clear the air,” to which he said, “Yes.” Teddi shared that she and Lisa “went through it,” and spoke about everything from RHOBH season 10 that could have been hashed out at the reunion. Teddi went on to say that Lisa was “over it” and that the employees involved in the “Puppygate” drama no longer work for her so that it was all “water under the bridge.”
Teddi mentioned that Lisa’s biggest issue with her was when she said she didn’t think Lisa would ever be brought back on RHOBH. However, Teddi’s response was that she has said the same thing about herself, so it was nothing “disrespectful” toward Lisa. She believes that the statement hurt Lisa’s ego, even though she doesn’t think the Vanderpump Rules star has any intentions of returning as a housewife. Teddi shared that it was a nice conversation overall, and they left on friendly terms.
Teddi invited Lisa to be a guest on Two T's In A Pod, to which Lisa responded by laughing it off. RHOBH fans would love to have Lisa and Teddi reunite on the podcast, since it seems as if chances are slim they would star again as housewives. Since the “Puppygate” incident, Lisa has alienated herself from housewives Lisa Rinna, Kyle, and Dorit. Perhaps one day The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars will take Teddi’s lead and make amends with Lisa.
