Teddi Mellencamp believes Garcelle Beauvais is at fault for the end of her friendship with Sutton Stracke.
As she and Tamra Judge, 58, reacted to the season 15 premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on their shared podcast on Friday, Teddi, 44, called out both Garcelle, 59, and Dorit Kemsley, 49, while Tamra accused Garcelle of being shady and suspected Dorit was attempting to buy Bozoma Saint John‘s allyship with the $2,000 Hermes blanket she gifted her.
“There was a lot of loss for Sutton in one year. Because I forgot that her and Garcelle were like actually best friends,” Teddi began on the December 5 episode of Two Ts in a Pod.
Then, when Tamra asked who was at fault, Teddi didn’t miss a beat, saying, “Garcelle. Garcelle just stopped talking to her.”
After noting that Sutton was emotional on the show, claiming to have been blindsided by Garcelle cutting ties with her, Tamra suspected Garcelle was “upset about something really big.”
“Or,” she continued, “they were just TV friends.”
While Garcelle did leave the show months ago, Teddi didn’t understand why she ended her friendship with Sutton at the same time.
“Why does she have to take Sutton out of it?” she asked.
Moving on to Garcelle’s recent outing with Sutton’s former assistant, Avi Gabay, whom she invited to her movie premiere, Tamra described the move as “shady,” as Teddi expressed shock.
As for Dorit’s discussion with Boz about her custody battle with Paul “PK” Kemsley, 58, who she said can’t handle joint custody, even though he requested it, Teddi said Dorit couldn’t “miss a chance to throw him under the bus on camera.”
“I know. That is not going to pan out well,” Tamra replied.
Tamra then mentioned the blanket Dorit gave Boz, saying that she gifted her the pricey item “to keep her on her side, to keep her as an ally.”
“She’s very smart. She’s starting the season off right, that’s for sure,” she noted, adding that Boz and Dorit’s friendship was “confusing to [her] a little bit.”
“I need to see more,” Tamra stated.
Then, after Teddi described Boz as having “a big personality” and a “big energy,” with her “super tall” stature and bold fashion, she and Tamra agreed Boz was “sweet.”
Also on the podcast, the ladies looked back on Erika describing Sutton as a “box.”
“It’s a ‘fatty photo’ all over again. Let’s see if they run with this,” Tamra suspected.
Meanwhile, after attempting to suggest Erika didn’t mean it, Teddi said, “Gosh, ladies,” and admitted to thinking the comment would “bite [Erika] in the a**.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
