Denise Richards Responds To Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave And Her Father John Mellencamp’s Shady Joke After He Calls Her ‘Dennis’ And Says That He’s ‘Never Heard Of Her’ — Denise Calls Out Teddi For Sharing Brandi Glanville’s “Salacious Untrue Rumor” About Her Marriage; Joanna Krupa And Margaret Josephs Come To Denise’s Defense!

Denise Richards is denying Brandi Glanville’s claim that she allegedly her that Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave is desperate to fit in with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast because she grew up in her father John Mellencamp’s shadow.

“Grown ass woman stooping to that level… sorry… I never said you live in your dad’s shadow. Ever,” Denise wrote via Instagram on Thursday, July 23. “I don’t care what you were told.”

During the Wednesday, July 22, episode of the RHOBH, Brandi told Kyle Richards, Kim Richards and Teddi that Denise had allegedly talked behind their backs and said that the mother-of-three has been trying to get out of the “Jack and Diane” singer’s shadow, according to Us Weekly.

After the episode aired, Teddi took to Twitter to share a screenshot of a text message she received from John that read, “I know you are busy living in my shadow but…” He then sent a meme that read, “Dennis Richards – never heard of him.”

In response, Teddi wrote, “You know who DENISE is dad. She is the girl who mentions Charlie Sheen every episode. Love you. call you tomorrow.”

When Denise took to Instagram on Thursday to address the topic, she called Brandi’s claim “salacious” and “untrue.”

“I was hurt you felt the need to share a … rumor about my marriage, especially given you are the daughter of a famous father & know what the potential impact could’ve been with my kids & family,” she wrote. “That is all I have ever said about your family. Aka(Dennis).”

However, the drama between Denise and Teddi continued in the comments section of Richards’ Instagram post.

“You’re Denise F–king Richards but you sure can’t take a joke,” she wrote, according to Us Weekly. “But since we are doing this, you brought Brandi back in by sharing personal information with her. Not me. You also confirmed you said way worse things about me than living in my Dad’s shadow. Enough with this victim routine Denise.”

Meanwhile, Richards got some love and support from Real Housewives of Miami alum Joanna Krupa and Real Housewives of New Jersey star Margaret Josephs.

Joanna Krupa wrote, “It’s called jealousy my gorgeous friend.”

Margaret commented, “We would be lucky if Teddi inherited his sense of humor.”
