Many Bravo watchers have called the 42-year-old former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star a “hypocrite” over the past few days. Why is that? During her Two Ts In A Pod podcast episode on Friday, Teddi declared that she would not talk about one of the biggest stories in Housewives lately – Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky’s marriage troubles. She said on the show:

“We have one more ‘Housewives’ headline you guys, I’m sure, are expecting me to cover. Clearly, I have a lot of anxiety, I’ve gotten a lot of messages since I’ve been gone. I’ve been on vacation.”

Teddi explained that she and her co-host Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge did a Q&A for the podcast, and there were tons of questions about the situation with Kyle and Mauricio. But as we said, don’t expect her to answer anything! Her lips are sealed out of respect for her friendship with the Halloween Kills actress! She told listeners:

“I just wanted to say that we came up with the decision — myself, Tamra, iHeart, my producers — that everybody has their boundaries, and this is mine. Kyle and Mauricio and their kids are like my family. I love them so much. I understand exactly what my job is here on this podcast and it’s to go down all the rabbit holes. And I think 99 percent of the time, that’s quite easy for me because it’s people I don’t know.”

But this time, Teddi said she needed to “bow out” from the conversation surrounding the couple’s drama:

“I hope those of you as humans understand that when it comes to true friendship, this is more than just ‘Housewives’ or scandal or drama. This is one of my best friends.”

Well, this came as a disappointment to many fans since Teddi no doubt has the tea about what’s going on with Kyle and Mauricio right now. But more than that, they were upset at the reality star’s loyalty since she had zero issues about discussing other Housewives stars divorces or family drama in the past:

“I get Teddi is besties with Kyle and feels compromised but equally it’s a massive HW story that she’d have no problem discussing if it was another cast member – if you’re going to do the job you need to mention it all”

“That is hypocritical. You talk about EVERONE else on your podcast and you talk about personal knowledge as long as it gives you ratings and makes you & your friends look good. You have said some personal messes up stuff about people. But NOW you draw a line in the sand.”

“I get Teddi and Kyle are friends. I do. But Teddi makes her living off gossiping about others. Dissecting every other HW marriage. To do otherwise after proclaiming how seriously she takes her job is a bigger joke than Teddi was as a HW #RHOBH”

“​​Teddi not addressing the Kyle rumours…… how is this fair? Kyle should be fair game as she is a housewife IMO”

“All Teddi had to do was basically reiterate Kyle’s statement and leave it at that. The way she came out and said she’s not talking about it seems like something is actually happening and Kyle asked her not to talk about it #RHOBH”

However, others did defend Teddi against the online hate. Many even praised her for being a “true friend” to Kyle while she is going through a tough time in her marriage:

“#RHOBH yall are mad at Teddi because she doesn’t want to talk about Kyle sorry but Teddi has every right to refuse and there’s nothing y’all can do about it.”

“Gotta say I have MAD respect for @TeddiMellencamp for this- she is a true friend through and through”

“Get over teddi not wanting to talk about Kyle y’all had no issues when gizzele didn’t talk about Robyn cheating on their podcast and let it slide so get over it. That’s her best friend I wouldn’t talk about that either if I was in her position.”

“This Teddi outrage is weird. She runs a podcast, not CNN. She’s not obligated to talk about anything.”

Look, we can commend Teddi for choosing to stick by her friend’s side and making the tough call to not talk about the situation. But what are your thoughts on the matter, Perezcious readers? Do you think Teddi is being a “hypocrite,” or do you have respect for her loyalty to Kyle? Sound OFF in the comments below.

The post Bravo Fans Call Out ‘Hypocrite’ Teddi Mellencamp For Refusing To Talk About BFF Kyle & Mauricio’s Marriage Troubles On Her Podcast! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

As you know, news broke this week that the longtime couple separated after 27 years together. It came as a shock to fans, who took to social media to speculate about what went wrong. However, Kyle and Mauricio shut down the divorce rumors in a joint statement – although they claimed it was “the most challenging” year of their marriage. Since they didn’t give any details about the reason why they had a “rough year,” people began to drum up some theories as to what happened. The number one speculation that ran rampant on social media? That Kyle was cheating on Mauricio with Morgan.

The evidence? Fans discovered that while the 54-year-old reality star stopped posting about her real estate agent hubby, she was sharing more and more pictures of herself and the country music star. They even attend red carpet-events together. And there’s more! The two also had matching heart tattoos and matching rings. Even Morgan’s ex-girlfriend, Kady Cannon, was suspicious about the close bond between the musician and Kyle!

Given these details, many were convinced infidelity was the cause of Kyle and Mauricio’s marriage troubles! Now, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is setting the record straight.

While Kyle was attempting to take off in her black Range Rover on Friday night, she was approached by paparazzi, who asked her a bunch of questions about her current situation. Per a video obtained by Page Six, a videographer asked about the nature of her relationship with Morgan, to which she responded:

“We are very good friends.”

But that person wasn’t satisfied with her answer! When someone asked if the affair with the 28-year-old singer was “just a rumor,” she bluntly said, “Yes.” However, the paps weren’t backing down, questioning her about their matching tattoos. Pointing to her best friend and former co-star Teddi Mellencamp in the passenger seat, she replied:

“We have matching tattoos, too. [Wade’s] not the only one I have a matching tattoo with.”

So there you have it. They are just very close friends, at least so says Kyle! Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below!

In a shocking turn of events on Friday, the 45-year-old reality star and the 37-year-old former football player decided to call off their divorce. This was completely unexpected given the fact that the couple had been so nasty toward each other for the past few months! But they seem to want to reconcile and work through their issues now — something their kids appear to be happy about! Shortly after the news broke, Ariana Biermann took to Instagram Stories to share a selfie of herself, along with the message, “God is so good.” Ch-ch-check it out (below):

She and her siblings must be so thrilled their parents are staying together! But what led them to make that decision? Well, we’re getting some answers! A source revealed to Page Six on Friday night that Kim and Kroy were in a good place agains, so she terminated her divorce filing:

“They’ve been working on things. They’ve been talking more lately and getting along, so she decided to call it off.”

Now, talk about a HUGE surprise with that statement! We’re talking about the two people who accused each other of everything from: gambling addictions, drug problems, mental abuse, kidnapping, and more over the past few months. So that doesn’t seem like they were “getting along,” at least to us!

Meanwhile, an insider shared with Us Weekly that the couple are “doing the best for their kids” and are “getting along at the moment.” However, the source mentioned that “Lord only knows what will happen” and “Tomorrow might be different.” Yeesh, they don’t seem sure that Kroy and Kim will work things out!

What do YOU think about the situation, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills took to Instagram Stories on Friday to share a since-deleted post that featured an image of some trees and mountains in Aspen, Colorado. However, the stunning views of the landscape weren’t what caught everyone’s attention! It was the mysterious caption with the snapshot that had eyebrows raising. She wrote:

“Parting is such sweet sorrow.”

Related: Morgan Wade’s Ex Was Suspicious Of Friendship With Kyle?!

Hmm. As you know, it came out earlier this week that Kyle was separating from her longtime husband. However, they soon clarified in a joint statement that they were not divorcing – although they had a “challenging” year in their marriage:

“Any claims regarding us divorcing are untrue. However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously. There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part. Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through our issues privately. While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative.”

Of course, they didn’t give any specifics about what happened. But there has been plenty of speculation online over the past week, with many convinced the reason for Kyle and Mauricio’s issues is that she had cheated on him with country star Morgan Wade. Yikes!

But instead of letting the rumors get them down, the couple have put on a united front while spending time in Colorado for the Fourth of July weekend. Mauricio even dropped some pictures from their vacation, including one of the couple. Innerestingly enough, he could be seen still wearing his wedding ring. But given the recent separation reports and rumors of Kyle’s alleged affair, who knows what’s actually going on with the reality star duo now!

So the 54-year-old actress’ new post raises the question — was she hinting at being upset over her marriage potentially coming to an end? Why did she suddenly delete the message? Well, Kyle made sure to give everyone an answer! She later took to the comments section of Page Six’s post about the supposed cryptic message, saying:

“This was in regards to having to leave Aspen! deleted.”

So there you have it! There’s no deeper meaning with this post! Ch-ch-check out Kyle’s response (below):

Clearly, Kyle doesn’t want anyone to get the wrong idea with her social media posts during this messy situation! Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below.

The post Why Kyle Richards Posted Then Deleted Message About ‘Sorrow’ Amid Mauricio Umansky Marriage Troubles! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

And we don’t mean this like one of those “sources say” reports, either. This is straight from the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star herself. That’s right! The embattled 49-year-old reality TV star is speaking out from behind bars!!

Of course, the Bravo-lebrity is serving a 78-month prison sentence at Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Bryan, Texas, following her conviction in that infamous telemarketing fraud case. But that doesn’t mean she can’t do promo! On Thursday, she corresponded with The Messenger via email to discuss what life has been like for her in the big house.

Related: Womp, Womp! Jen Lost Her Designer Handbag Collection Because Of THIS!

For one, the Salt Lake City resident sounded extremely remorseful about the actions that led to her prison sentence. When asked about how she’s holding up, Shah wrote:

“Daily introspection and self-examination are helping me learn many valuable lessons about how I ended up here. I took shortcuts and broke the law. I own and understand my actions created victims. I hurt people and I must reiterate that I blame no one but myself.”

Wow! That’s actually very mature and reasonable. The remorse is really good to hear! It means she’s growing!

And she continued:

“I am committed to doing the work necessary to make my victims whole and prove worthy of a second chance. I’ve learned to focus on what I can and cannot control. I can control my attitude and how I approach each day with a desire to improve.”

She’s not kidding about that “doing the work” stuff, either.

When asked what she’s been doing behind bars to prove herself “worthy of a second chance,” Shah explained she is offering GED and ESL (English as a second language) tutoring to other inmates, along with other activities:

“I have found multiple ways to mentor other prisoners, [including] tutoring GED and ESL students, mentoring women on their release plans, teaching multiple workout classes (abs, Pilates and HIIT training) and tutoring on reading, writing and vocabulary.”

She also says she has been trying to help less-fortunate inmates “put together their resumes … using Prison Professor workbooks” so they may have stronger employment options upon release.

She’s also offering job-related culture and fashion trainings to inmates via a Dress for Success program on the inside. That, she hopes, will “help justice-impacted individuals prepare for the job interview process upon re-entry.” That’s not too bad at all!

Regarding her push to help others while serving her time, the Bravo vet added:

“I find meaning by helping other women here at Bryan by finding ways to make a positive impact in their lives to help them find purpose which gives me purpose and a drive to do better.”

Shah has effectively been forced into these connections in the first place, as she explained she is living in a pod with a group of other women — and not a single or double prison cell away from others.

Still, now that she has found people with “similar values,” the reality TV alum claims she’s doing her best to “find consistency” in her actions:

“The details within my relationships take on more meaning. I don’t take these relationships for granted and truly value and appreciate the meaning my family and loved ones add to my life. The true meaning is consistency — to find consistency in my prayers, and actions. Emotions run up and down in my environment, so I must strive for consistency in my actions and emotions.”

Shah’s prison consultant Justin Paperny was also interviewed by the outlet for their Thursday report.

He confirmed the disgraced reality personality has “embraced her reality” behind bars, and added:

“She is pursuing educational opportunities to advance her release. By actively participating and successfully completing educational programs, she may increase her chances of earlier release or other benefits.”

That’s the end goal, of course. Makes sense!

Ultimately, Jen is hopeful that she can continue to prove herself to people who doubt her comeback commitment. She concluded:

“I am grateful for the opportunity to earn a second chance. I know some people doubt my sincerity and commitment. I can only control what I do daily and how I prepare for my life after federal prison. … I have learned about the value of time. I must be efficient and grateful and never complain. God has given me a moment to reset my life and I am grateful for that.”

So there you have it.

Two more minor footnotes, as well: first, The Messenger reports that Jen’s husband Sharrieff Shah “has visited his wife behind bars,” so that’s nice.

Related: Jen Remains ‘Determined’ To Let Prison Make Her A ‘Better Person’!

And second, and more interestingly, neither Jen nor her prison consultant Paperny would comment about whether the RHOSLC alum has met disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes. As you may recall, Holmes surrendered herself to federal authorities at FPC Bryan back in May. She is now one of the 627 inmates currently serving at that institution alongside Shah, per the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

But “due to security reasons,” per news outlet, Paperny would not comment on whether Shah and Holmes interact regularly — or whether they have even met at all. Ah, well. You can catch up on Shah’s interviews with The Messenger at the links HERE and HERE, if you’re curious.

Reactions, Perezcious readers??

The post Jen Shah Speaks! Disgraced Star Reveals What She's REALLY Doing In Prison In Bombshell New Interview! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

When the news of Kyle’s marriage problems with her longtime husband, Mauricio Umansky, broke earlier this week, the rumor mill went wild about what happened between the couple!

The most unexpected speculation? Bravo fans began to question the 54-year-old reality star’s close friendship with the country music star. And the big question on everyone’s minds right now is: Was their relationship not platonic? Was the reason for the “rough year” in Kyle and Mauricio’s marriage because she was cheating on him with Morgan?! That’s what many fans believe — especially after all the evidence discovered over the past week!

Related: How RHOBH Will Cover Kyle & Mauricio’s Marriage Problems!

Speculation about Kyle’s relationship with Morgan began when people noticed the two spent a lot of time with each other since last year. The If I Was Your Lover songstress even took the Halloween actress to the 2022 Americana Music Honors & Awards and other red-carpet events. They also were caught sporting matching rings and heart tattoos. These details, along with the fact that Kyle wasn’t posting about Mauricio as much anymore, had many fans thinking something was going on between them.

And RHOBH lovers weren’t the only ones suspicious about the relationship between Kyle and Morgan! Apparently, the 28-year-old artist’s ex-girlfriend was too! Speaking with Page Six on Thursday, Kady Cannon revealed that she also had “feelings” about Morgan’s friendship with Kyle while she and the singer were still an item!

She recalled to the outlet that she and the Wilder Days artist had a “private relationship” between November 2021 and August 2022. Although she wouldn’t share details about why they kept their romance under wraps, she was happy to spill the tea about the beginning of Morgan’s friendship with Kyle! The Temptation Island alum remembered that the Bravolebrity came into Morgan’s life around March of last year after she and “a group of girl friends” contacted the singer since they were “fans of her music.”

That’s when a strong bond formed between Kyle and Morgan! And Kady soon took notice of the super close relationship the duo “developed” afterward. As Page Six noted, it really “stuck out to her” at the time. The 30-year-old Kannon Marketing Agency founder refused to elaborate on her comment, noting that she has never met or talked with Kyle. However, Kady did mention that the news of the RHOBH star’s separation from Mauricio “actually” shocked her, adding:

“We’re dealing with somebody’s marriage here, and I don’t take that lightly. I don’t wanna add to anyone’s speculation or opinion one way or another. The only people who can speak on Morgan and Kyle’s relationship or friendship or whatever you wanna call it — and to whatever degree that is — are Morgan and Kyle, and that’s it.”

“Relationship or friendship or whatever you wanna call it”? We think you may have spoken on it just then…

It seems unlikely we’ll hear any direct comments about an alleged affair from either of those involved. However, Kyle did insist in her and Mauricio’s statement on the divorce rumors that “there has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part.” A source for The Messenger also swore “there was no cheating” that resulted in the couple’s marriage troubles. They noted specifically:

“Kyle and Morgan are not together and have not hooked up. They are just friends. In regards to any rumors swirling, there has not been any cheating on either side.”

So these cheating rumors could very well be just that — whispers and innuendo! But innerestingly enough, Kady shared with Page Six that she and Morgan also got a tattoo together — not matching like Kyle and the musician’s ink, but still. She also pointed out that Morgan gave her a ring while they were dating. However, the ACM Awards nominee never wore one herself. Hmm…

As for the “K” tattoo fans spotted on Wade’s left arm? Kady was not about to “speak on” it since “she got that after” the exes were no longer “speaking” to each other. Speaking of her breakup with Morgan, the reality star said she ended the relationship – noting that “there were just a lot of things that didn’t add up”:

“I had to let go and move on without having all of those answers. There comes a point where you have to put yourself first and prioritize yourself and value your worth.”

Was the friendship with Kyle potentially the reason for the split?? Ultimately, Kady told she “made the right decision” with the breakup and has “nothing but positive things to say” about Morgan:

“I only want happiness for others. Everything happens for a reason, and everybody comes into your life for a reason. Whatever God had intended for us to learn from one another, you know, I think that it just ran its course.”

Before anyone starts flooding her social media page for more clues about Kyle and Morgan’s alleged relationship, Kady made it clear not everything she posts is a “statement,” and she uses platforms like TikTok as her “creative expression”:

“That’s the way that I express and feel and connect with others who are, you know, maybe going through similar things.”

What do you think, Perezcious readers? Do you believe Kyle cheat on Mauricio with Morgan? Sound OFF in the comments below.

The post Morgan Wade's Ex Was Suspicious Of Friendship With Kyle Richards?! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

The reality star was spotted by TMZ photographers on Thursday dropping off flowers for Lisa Vanderpump at the now-closed Pump restaurant in West Hollywood. When he caught up with the videographer on his way out, he revealed he’s finally begun filming on Season 11 of the Bravo series!

When cameras first began rolling last month, the embattled star was busy working on Season 2 of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. The Fox series sees a group of celebs push through a series of challenges set by former Special Forces members. Perhaps it was just the kind of tough love Tom needed to whip him back into shape after Scandoval! Either way, it was likely an extremely mentally and physically grueling show to be a part of — meaning getting back to his regularly scheduled drama on VPR should be a cakewalk!

While it’s unclear who he’s filmed with so far, he did confirm he and Tom Schwartz are on good terms and had just seen each other — despite Schwartz seemingly dissing his pal on his reality show side hustle, Stars on Mars.

Unfortunately, the TomTom co-owner didn’t have anything to say about Raquel Leviss. Last we heard, she was in the process of negotiating her return, but was still checked into the mental health facility she’s been receiving treatment at since shortly after she came under fire for the affair. All the musician teased about the new episodes was:

“It’s gonna be interesting, though. No matter what. It always is.”

Meanwhile, Tom’s ex-girlfriend is busy with her own new project upon his return! Ariana Madix announced on Friday morning that she’s joining the next season of Dancing With The Stars! Yes, all the rumors were true! She’ll be hitting the dance floor to shake off all these breakup blues!

So exciting!

In the comments of the IG video above, the 38-year-old expressed:

“i’m beyond grateful, excited, and nervous all rolled into one! absolutely thrilled!”

The pair were spotted together on Wednesday in photos obtained by TMZ. They were in the same outfits as in the videos, so it seems like they were together for the shoot. We wonder who Ariana will be matched up with!? Should Daniel Wai be worried?

Sounds like we’re going to get lots more VPR content in the fall!! Which are you more excited to see — Ariana or Tom’s side project?! Sound OFF (below)!

The post Tom Sandoval Is BACK Filming <i>Vanderpump Rules</i> -- Meanwhile Ariana Madix Is Joining <i>Dancing With The Stars</i>! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

According to Us Weekly on Thursday, a source shared that the former couple is “determined” to put their six children — Kaia, Kane, KJ, Kash, Brielle, and Ariana – first despite what’s going on with their bitter divorce! They explained:

“Despite everything Kim and Kroy are going through, they will always put their children’s needs above all else. That’s their No. 1 priority no matter what and what will help them co-parent moving forward. Regardless of how they feel about each other, they’re determined to remain amicable when it comes to their kids.”

That’s great to hear they can agree on at least one thing. But Kim and Kroy may want to work on the amicable part because their breakup has been anything but so far!

Ever since they filed for divorce in May, the pair have been extremely nasty while exchanging back-and-forth accusations about each other. This includes claims about alleged gambling addictions, drug problems, mental abuse, and kidnapping. On top of the allegations against each other, they’ve also been dealing with some serious financial troubles. Kim and Kroy owe the IRS over $1 million and $15k to their home state of Georgia in unpaid taxes. And that’s only the start of their problems. Later, the two were also each sued by two different companies over unpaid bills.

Yeesh. Things aren’t looking good for Kim and Kroy! It’s definitely been a messy situation. However, they only have themselves to blame for it! Nevertheless, their split has been sad to watch play out, especially when you think about how their kids must be affected by this drama.

Despite how nasty they’ve been toward each other lately, the parents seem to be putting in the extra effort to play nice in front of their kids. They were spotted for the first time together, walking side by side with their children into church on Sunday. The Zolciak-Biermann crew also went to a local bakery later on. At least they are trying! And it’s a step in the right direction toward hopefully a solid co-parenting situation between Kim and Kroy in the future. You can ch-ch-check out the pictures from their day together (below):

The post Kyle Richards And Her Husband BOTH Dogged By Infidelity Rumors! | Perez Hilton appeared first on Perez Hilton.

By now you know, reports came out earlier this week that the longtime couple shockingly separated after 27 years together. The split had everyone talking and deep diving on the internet about what could have possibly happened to lead to their sudden split. Shortly afterward the news broke, though, Kyle and Mauricio denied the rumors that they were divorcing – although they noted it was the “most challenging” year of their entire marriage.

Related: How RHOBH Will Cover Kyle & Mauricio’s Marriage Drama!

Of course, the pair didn’t get into details about what caused the rough patch in their marriage. While they asked everyone to not “speculate” on the matter in their statement, the rumor mill has not stopped running! After sleuthing around on the internet, fans have come up with a potential theory into why there was trouble in paradise for Kyle and Mauricio. What is it? Country singer Morgan Wade had a huge role in their marriage woes… by being in a relationship with Kyle!!

The evidence? For those who don’t know, there were whispers that something was amiss in the television personalities’ relationship for a while after Kyle stopped posting about Mauricio on social media and acknowledging his Instagram tributes to her. She was also caught without her wedding ring at one point. But there was one person fans noticed popping up on her account a lot over the past year: Morgan.

Peep the fact that her monogrammed handbag only had KR on it and not KRU?!

They seemingly have had a strong bond ever since they met in February 2022, with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star posting pictures of them and going on vacations together. She even went as the 28-year-old artist’s date to the Americana Music Awards and attended the iHeartRadio Music Festival in September 2022. See the picture from the red carpet (below):

And that’s not all! Some have noticed that the two have matching heart tattoos. Ch-ch-check it out (below):

Another eagle-eyed fan noticed they also have been wearing matching rings, writing on Insta:

“I did a deep dive in my stories on Kyle’s rings and when she stopped wearing them and stumbled upon a similar ring that Morgan was wearing. Thoughts?!”

With all of this in mind, these two are obviously very close. Perhaps, too close? In light of Kyle and Mauricio’s marriage problems, fans are now convinced that the 54-year-old reality star was having an affair with Morgan! See the Twitter speculation (below):

“IF THEY START WEARING MATCHING LIGHTING BOLT NECKLACES I’M DEAD. #KYLERICHARDS #MORGANWADE”

“Mmm…kay so let’s start talking about Kyle’s close relationship with Morgan Wade…matching tattoos and rings.”

“Not Kyle Richards left Mauricio for a woman #RHOBH”

“Kyle and Morgan Wade got matching rings AND matching tattoos. It’s not even subtle.”

However, this may be nothing more than rumors. An insider shut down the affair allegations to The Messenger, saying:

“There was no cheating. Kyle and Morgan are not together and have not hooked up. They are just friends. In regards to any rumors swirling, there has not been any cheating on either side.”

Hmm. What do YOU think, Perezcious readers? Do you think they’re having an affair? Or are they just really good friends? Sound OFF in the comments below.
