Vicki Gunvalson claims Andy Cohen called Teddi Mellencamp an “idiot” after the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum targeted Vicki during a Watch What Happens Live special at BravoCon last year.
After Teddi, 43, suggested that Vicki, 62, didn’t like her because she was triggered by someone who actually has cancer, signaling the lies her ex-boyfriend, Brooks Ayers, told about his own diagnosis on The Real Housewives of Orange County, Vicki shared what happened next as she also threw shade at Tamra Judge, 57, and her recent health announcement.
“It was shocking. It was like, ‘Where are you coming with this?’” Vicki recalled of Teddi’s diss on the My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast, via Breaking the Rules Pod Clips on Instagram.
Then, after guest Jennifer Aydin, 47, suggested Teddi had “planned” to call her out, Vicki agreed and shared that Andy called her after the filmed special.
“Andy actually called me later and said, ‘Don’t worry about it. She’s an idiot,’” she shared. “I’m like, ‘Okay.’ He was like, ‘This came from left field. Where the hell did she come up with this from?’”
“Is that all you got? Bring it on, b*tch. Bring it on,” Vicki added.
During another episode of My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast, via Housewives Habit on Instagram, Vicki targeted Tamra, calling her out for her alleged autism diagnosis and claiming she came forward with her health update for attention.
“She’s an attention seeker. Her post stated that she’s a private person, she doesn’t like crowds, then what is she doing on a reality TV show? So I call bullsh*t on that. Number one. Number two, this whole face thing that she did, her face looks great. It looked great before, but attention again,” Vicki began.
“Now we’re going into she’s an a**hole this season, and last season, and the viewers are not happy with her. I can’t imagine Bravo is happy with what’s going on. The ratings are dropping and the mean girl stuff is, we’re all done with it. So, what she does, she decided to go to counseling and therapy. And this therapist over a Zoom call diagnosed her with being on the spectrum,” she continued. “[But] you can’t diagnose somebody with autism on one Zoom episode.”
Vicki went on to say that Tamra is a “narcissist.”
“She is a narcissist … She says she wants to be private and quiet. Then why is she revealing her ‘medical diagnosis’ to the world? It’s for people to feel sorry for her … I’m over it. It was all for attention,” she added.
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
