During her first season on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, rookie wife Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave has done her best to stay true to her laid-back demeanor but it hasn’t worked well with this season’s villain Dorit Kemsley or in-your-face Erika Girardi. Teddi has been reprimanded by Erika more than once on the show and Teddi tends to sit there at take it. Before the reunion, Bravo executive producer Andy Cohen asks Teddi, “Are you going to hold people accountable,” Teddi says mildy, “You know, I’m going to do my best.”
At the reunion, Teddi tries to voice her opinion to Erika but Erika interrupts her and yells, “Either raise up or get the fuck out, c’mon girl.” Teddi doesn’t have a quick response to that taunt. It doesn’t help that Teddi is wearing a pretty white dress with her long soft hair flowing over her shoulders while Erika is looking fierce with her hair pulled back and rocking a plunging neckline tuxedo dress. Later, when Teddi accuses Erika of treating her differently than the other girls, Erika says, “I treat you the same, I’m rude to everybody!” Later, Erika talks about her rudeness which in her book (see link above) Erika attributes to her mother. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Tuesdays at 9pm on Bravo.
