Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave Explains Why She Believes Brandi Glanville Over Denise Richards In Alleged Hookup Drama!

Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave explains why it was necessary to bring up the alleged Brandi Glanville affair rumor to Denise Richards on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills during the cast trip in Rome.

"I'm not wanting to do that," she told Entertainment Tonight. "It's a struggle for me, but once you watch the entire episode, you will understand why it gets to that point. But I also need to be clear: once something is already filmed, it is out there."

Teddi shuts down recent theory after some viewers are claiming that the scene when Brand told Teddi, Kyle Richards, and Kim Richards about her affair with Denise before the ladies took their trip was faked and filmed after the women returned from Italy, citing a photo Brandi posted on Instagram where she appears to be in the same hair, makeup and outfit weeks after the women returned home to Los Angeles.

"Oh no," Teddi says. "No, definitely not. Here's the thing I can say about the show: they don't make up things. They're not going to have us go film pickups, that's not who they are. … They're showing it in real time."

Mellencamp then explains why she believes Glanville over Richards in alleged affair drama.

Teddi says she couldn't help but to believe her, because the Brandi sitting before her was unlike the Brandi she had encountered before, at social events and as a guest on her Teddi's Tea Pod podcast.

"I was there in the moment going, holy crap! One, this woman is telling me the truth, and two, she's hurt," Teddi said. "That's what sat with me. ... This was a completely different side of her and I was like, I don't think she's bullsh**ting right now. I think she's being honest."

"I started thinking, oh my gosh, this is on camera right now," she said. "Like, everything that she is saying is out there. So, no matter how this information is going to continue -- whatever it is -- it is now out there."

Teddi says she knew Brandi's allegations would come to light whether she was the messenger or not.

"They're sharing information with one another and now we have to hear about it," Teddi told Entertainment Tonight. "People are like, 'Well, Teddi, are you stirring the pot?' Or whatever it may be, once it's out there and it's going to be on the show, it's there. So, that was the first thing -- and the feeling anxious about that and feeling worried for Denise and all of those types of things -- but also having to come to terms with my own feelings of having my feelings hurt."
