Teddi Mellencamp believes her former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills castmate, Lisa Vanderpump, fabricated the storyline surrounding “Scandoval.”

Almost two weeks after it was revealed that Tom Sandoval had allegedly engaged in a months-long affair together with his Vanderpump Rules co-star, Raquel Leviss, an in depth pal of each him and his now-ex-girlfriend of almost 10 years, Ariana Madix, Teddi appeared on Melissa Gorga‘s podcast, the place she shared her suspicions.

“She in all probability paid Raquel [Leviss] to do that,” Teddi suspected on the March 9 episode of On Show, through Page Six.

As Pump Guidelines followers will recall, Lisa appeared on final Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live to discuss Sandoval’s relationship with Raquel. And, whereas the Real Housewives of New Jersey star’s podcast episode was recorded previous to Lisa’s look, Teddi stated Andy Cohen doubtless invited Lisa again to the Bravo Clubhouse after a protracted hiatus solely attributable to the truth that “no one’s cared till now.”

She then suspected that Lisa would doubtless defend Sandoval as a result of she “all the time takes the lads’s aspect.”

“She’s gonna say the identical factors that I’ve been saying, like, ‘Hear, [Sandoval and Madix] weren’t in a good place for a very long time. His wants weren’t met. [Sandoval and Leviss] fell in love. They couldn’t assist themselves,’” Teddi shared.

Then, after fellow visitor Tamra Judge famous that Pump Guidelines is “skyrocketing proper now” and identified that Lisa doubtless “desires one of the best for her solid,” Teddi stated, “I believe she desires one of the best for herself, as I might as properly. You guys wouldn’t? You’d need your exhibits to tank?”

“[This] is precisely what [Lisa] desires,” Teddi added.

Teddi went on to say that she may “assure” Raquel might be “engaged and pregnant inside a 12 months.”

Throughout her WWHL appearance final week, Lisa did take up for Sandoval — a minimum of partly.

“It’s not like [Sandoval or Leviss] murdered anybody,” she said as she signaled to the truth that there’s “a lot infidelity on the planet.”

“These are folks which are dwelling their life in a public discussion board, which could be very tough,” she continued. “It’s a present however they’re all hurting.”

And whereas Lisa doesn’t imagine that Sandoval and Raquel must be let “off the hook,” she spoke out in opposition to the “vigilante justice” of sure followers.

“Condemn their actions, however don’t condemn the folks, OK?” she suggested. “All this aggression … it may possibly have critical ramifications. I actually imply that. I believe all people must be cautious with that.”
