RHOC OG Vicki Gunvalson claims Andy Cohen called Teddi Mellencamp an “idiot.” Plus, she calls out her former best friend Tamra Judge for being a “narcissist.” 

According to Vicki Gunvalson, Andy Cohen dubbed Teddi Mellencamp an “idiot” after the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills targeted the RHOC at BravoCon last year.

At BravoCon, Teddi suggested that Vicki didn’t like her because she was triggered by someone who actually has cancer, throwing slight shade at Vicki ex cancer scamming boyfriend, Brooks Ayers. 

“It was shocking. It was like, ‘Where are you coming with this?’” Vicki said of Teddi’s diss on her podcast, My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast.

Vicki agreed when guest Jennifer Aydin suggested that Teddi “planned” to call out the RHOC OG. 

Then Vicki shared what Andy Cohen called Teddi after they filmed the Watch What Happens Live special at BravoCon. 

“Andy actually called me later and said, ‘Don’t worry about it. She’s an idiot,’” she shared. “I’m like, ‘Okay.’ He was like, ‘This came from left field. Where the hell did she come up with this from?’

“Is that all you got? Bring it on, b-tch. Bring it on,” Vicki added.

During another episode of My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast, Vicki Gunvalson called out Tamra Judge for her recent alleged autism diagnosis, which she only came forward with to gain attention and sympathy.

“She’s an attention seeker. Her post stated that she’s a private person, she doesn’t like crowds, then what is she doing on a reality TV show? So, I call bullsh-t on that. Number one. Number two, this whole face thing that she did, her face looks great. It looked great before, but attention again,” Vicki said. 

“Now we’re going into she’s an a–hole this season, and last season, and the viewers are not happy with her. I can’t imagine Bravo is happy with what’s going on. The ratings are dropping and the mean girl stuff is, we’re all done with it. So, what she does, she decided to go to counseling and therapy. And this therapist over a Zoom call diagnosed her with being on the spectrum,” she continued. “[But] you can’t diagnose somebody with autism on one Zoom episode.”

Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge clash as they navigate the complexities of their friendship with tensions escalating over Tamra's close bond with Teddi Mellencamp.

Vicki then said that Tamra is a “narcissist.”

“She is a narcissist  … She says she wants to be private and quiet. Then why is she revealing her ‘medical diagnosis’ to the world? It’s for people to feel sorry for her … I’m over it. It was all for attention,” the RHOC OG added.

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
