Teddi weighed in on why she believes she got the axe and revealed if she was in attendance at Vanderpump Rules couple, Stassi Schroeder, and Beau Clark’s wedding. She also offered a health update on her baby daughter, Dove.
“I think it’s because you didn’t see a lot of me, other than in drama this year,” Teddi said about why she thinks she was dismissed. “If you only see me when I’m in an argument, it’s hard to see the whole picture. I wish we could have seen more of the fun stuff but it’s a TV show.”
Teddi declared that she believes that she “came out [of the show] unscathed” despite being hit by lots of online fan backlash.
“My kids are healthy and happy and my marriage is good and my friendships are good,” she said.
Teddi added that she will not miss aspects of her life as a reality star.
“Nobody loves to live in [an] anxious state. I’m not a combative person [and] I don’t like being in turmoil,” Teddi explained. “So that anxiety part, I’m so happy to not be a part of. Of course, there is a sadness when it comes to the rest of the girls and the crew and the people I spent over three years of my life with. But the true friendships are going to still be there whether I’m on the show or not.”
Teddi shared that she, while she was open to a RHOBH “friend” comeback, becoming a talk show host, is her ultimate TV dream.
“My ultimate dream, just to put it in the universe, is I would love to be on a morning show or do something like that,” she said.
Teddi shared that while she and her husband, Edwin Arroyave, share close friendships with Stassi and Beau, she did not attend the couple’s September wedding. She clarified that she was out of the town at the time, but added that Stassi is doing “amazing” as she awaits the arrival of her first child, in January.
“I love her so much. She’s going to be such a wonderful mom. I’m so excited for Stassi and Beau. She’s definitely a glowing mommy to be,” Teddi said.
She updated fans on her daughter, who underwent neurosurgery months ago. Teddi revealed that Dove is currently wearing a DOC band, or helmet, to treat her lambdoid craniosynostosis.
“The first couple days, it’s a little rough because they’ve got to get used to their skin and it being hot but she’s doing great,” Teddi shared. “She’s a fighter. I’m glad we caught [the condition] when we did because had we not, we’d be in an even tougher situation.”
Teddi added that Dove, who turns 8 months this month, is able to “walk in a walker” and is “blabbering all the time.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is currently filming.
