Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp addressed the drama of the Real Housewives of Potomac premiere on Monday’s episode of their podcast.
As Tia Glover, 45, reflected on Stacey Rusch‘s decision to reveal, on camera, that her husband, Rob Glover, was on dating apps and accused Stacey, 53, of trying to place the blame on Gizelle Bryant, 56, Tamra suspected that Tia was well aware of her husband’s online activity as Tia fired back.
“I gotta believe that Tia knew,” Tamra, 59, said on the October 12 episode of Two Ts in a Pod.
“I think Tia didn’t know,” Teddi, 45, argued.
According to Teddi, she felt the situation was “a little dicey” due to Ashley Darby‘s involvement.
“You see Gizelle go … like, ‘You better f*cking do that!’” Tamra noted.
Tamra then pointed out that Tia and Gizelle were friends, suggesting that Tia likely knew about the drama that would unfold in regard to her husband because Gizelle would have filled her in.
“I think that’s why Gizelle said, ‘I would’ve never let that come out the way that Stacey did it,’” Teddi responded.
After Stacey broke the news on the show, Tamra said she was definitely holding in the information until the cameras started rolling.
“Let’s get this straight: You were waiting for the show,” Tamra stated.
“That’s what she said about Stacey,” Teddi replied.
As for Tia’s reaction to the shocking revelation about Rob, Tamra applauded her for staying calm.
“The control that she has of her emotions should be studied,” she declared.

After the podcast clip was posted, however, Tia shot down the idea that she knew in advance.
“I promise you, I did not know,” she wrote.
Tia also spoke about the topic on the October 11 episode of Gabbing With Gib, saying that the entire scene was “set up.”
“When you see how it was set up, you’ll realize how shiesty this whole thing went down,” she stated.
Looking back on the moments that followed Stacey’s sharing of the news, Tia recalled her co-star sending her screenshots of the messages Stacey had received about Rob being on dating apps.
“Stacey sends me screenshots of the person who DMed her. And it was like a robot account and the DM. Because at first she just sent me the pictures, and I really wanted to see the actual DM,” Tia explained.
Tia then said that Stacey told her that the person only followed her and Gizelle.
“She really tried to plant it on Gizelle, and it’s, the whole thing, you’re gonna have to wait till reunion for this to really be uncovered. There’s a lot of mystery about how this thing was uncovered in the first place,” she teased.
After acknowledging that Rob’s fault was assigned to him, Tia admitted to being surprised that Gizelle didn’t come to her with the information once she had it.
“There’s a lot going on here. But yeah, the two people in question were Gizelle and Stacey, Gizelle then passed the information onto Ashley, which you saw, and yeah, that was shocking to me, because, you know, Gizelle and I talk. I would’ve loved a phone call, but it’s a challenging spot to be in, and that’s not a phone call that anyone would delight in making,” she reasoned.
As for the cast having the information at the reunion, Tia wasn’t so sure.
“Stacey did say that she had it since then, and that if she was trying to be malicious, she would’ve brought it up then. Maybe she got it around that time … [But] whoever did it — which was Stacey, clearly — you’re not doing it to do me a solid,” Tia explained.
According to Tia, that is why she and Stacey have “friction.”
“You sat on it to bring it to the camera … You brought it to the camera on day one you saw me, and I wish she was just honest about that,” Tia said. “Stacey’s very much somebody that will throw the stone and hide her hand. You and I weren’t friends, so if you wanted to get me back for what I said to you, I get that. I would respect that, but be honest about it. She kind of tried to do it like she was doing me a favor, and she was so concerned. A little bit more information comes out about that, but she very much held onto the time the cameras were on so I could be in the hot seat.”
After adding that Stacey’s antics “somewhat backfired,” Tia recalled a conversation with Monique Samuels, 42, and their castmates.
“Monique said something to Gizelle, which was very true. She said, ‘All of us here at this table know that information comes to us all the time.’ We all have information on everybody. I have information on Stacey. But at the end of the day, you make the decision [about] what you’re going to do with that. So whilst Gizelle may have had the information, she is not the one that brought it to the show, and Stacey’s the one that brought it to the show,” Tia explained.
“And I wish she would just be honest and say, ‘I didn’t like what you said to me at reunion. I brought it to the show,'” Tia added.
