Teddi Mellencamp has quite the theory about Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval‘s shocking affair.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum believes that her former friend and co-star Lisa Vanderpump “paid” Raquel to have an affair with Tom in order to boost ratings for Vanderpump Rules and secure another season of the show.
“She probably paid Raquel [Leviss] to do this,” Teddi suggested while appearing on Melissa Gorga’s “On Display” podcast.
Teddi went on to claim that the cheating scandal is the only reason Andy Cohen is suddenly inviting LVP to be on Watch What Happens Live, adding that “nobody’s cared until now.”
The mom of three went on to predict that LVP would take Tom’s side in the scandal since she “always takes the men’s side.”
“She’s gonna say the same points that I’ve been saying, like, ‘Listen, [Sandoval and Madix] weren’t in a good place for a long time. His needs weren’t met. [Sandoval and Leviss] fell in love. They couldn’t help themselves,’” Teddi explained.
While fellow guest Tamra Judge insists that LVP only “wants the best for her cast,” Teddi isn’t buying it.
She retorted, “I think she wants the best for herself, as I would as well. You guys wouldn’t? You’d want your shows to tank?”
Tamra then pointed out that VPR is “skyrocketing right now” in the ratings.
“Which is my point, which is exactly what [Vanderpump] wants,” Teddi replied. She went on to predict that Raquel will be “engaged and pregnant within a year.”
As we previously reported, Tom and Raquel’s seven-month-long affair broke in the news on March 5, just two days after Tom’s longtime girlfriend, Ariana Madix, found sexually explicit videos of Raquel on his phone. Ariana quickly ended her nearly ten-year relationship with Tom.
Bravo cameras quickly went back up in order to capture the drama on camera for season ten of the show.
Vanderpump Rules airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.
Is Teddi Mellencamp’s Theory About Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval’s Affair Believable?
Teddi Mellencamp believes that Lisa Vanderpump paid Raquel Leviss to have an affair with Tom Sandoval in order to boost ratings for Vanderpump Rules and secure another season of the show.
Teddi claims that the cheating scandal between Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval is the reason why Andy Cohen invited Lisa Vanderpump to be on Watch What Happens Live. According to Teddi, nobody cared about the scandal until now.
Teddi predicts that Lisa Vanderpump will take Tom Sandoval’s side in the scandal, as she believes Vanderpump always takes the men’s side. Teddi explains that Vanderpump will likely argue that Sandoval and Leviss fell in love because Sandoval’s needs weren’t being met in his relationship with Ariana Madix.

Teddi is not the only one who has thought this — although she phrased it more crudely than I would have.
I would have just said the affair was a show set-up for a story line to entice the audience. If so, then all three — Tom, Raquel and Ariana — were paid their salary to play this out.
Given how placidly both Tom and Ariana have reacted after their initial responses and how quickly they both seem to be over the breakup, one has to assume this was not a shock to either of them
I don’t doubt it. Not Lisa’s first Rodeo scheme
desperate Teddy
Only a brain as dumb as Teddi would end up there. Trying to insinuate Lisa is a pimp or madam? That makes no sense. Has nothing to do w Lisa.
Teddi’s the only one who would take cash for sex. Big dummy, what a rumor monger. No class. , All trash.
Why is Teddi still talking? Nobody cares. She thinks her podcast with Tamra makes her relevant. News flash Teddi…..you are long over. Nobody is interested in anything you have to say, unless it’s about your much more famous father.
Teddi’s assessment is ridiculous. Lisa V. doesn’t “roll” that way. This is a juicy scandal which shouldn’t be a surprise because Sandoval has already shown in the past that he is not above cheating and Raquel also has no integrity..
Teddi is the biggest hater! Where does she come up with this stuff???
Dear wife of John Mellencamp’s Son-In-Law
Plz go away.
Sincerely.

Aww Teddy is still bent out of shape for being fired from the show so she has a lifelong vendetta against LVP. Grow up Teddy!
