Tamra hires Teddi as party host
Tamra decided to hire Teddi for the RHOC Traitors party. She insults Vicki in the first two minutes, telling the cast, “Welcome housewives… and Vicki,” before leading them to the property.
Vicki immediately reacted by quietly calling her a b****, while co-star Heather Dubrow said the comment was “rude,” before calling Teddi “snakey” in a post-party confessional.
Gina Kirschenheiter also noted in a Bravo interview on August 15 that the comment from Teddi “definitely was not funny in the moment, and Victoria was not feeling that.”
Vicki hailed ‘thirsty’ amid feud
Vicki has been described as “thirsty” by Tamra, who is defending Teddi, AKA her “minion,” as per Gunvalson. “That just kind of slipped out of [Teddi’s] mouth,” Tamra said of the insult.
“She tries to blame me for it but I’m not the one who told her to say it. Her and Vicki have had this long feud going on. I don’t think there’s [a relationship now]. Vicki continues to just trash her,” said Tamra.
Tamra added, “She’s just thirsty, as far as I’m concerned. Vicki’s been nothing but horrible to her for no reason. She doesn’t even know her. So she thought it was a good idea to just stick it to her.”
RHOC stars ‘planned push,’ say fans
When Teddi pushed Tamra into the swimming pool, with Vicki right behind her, they were accused of planning it. Many are taking to social media to pick apart the shocking moment.

Tamra was holding her nose, making it appear it was a planned push. When Heather wraps Tamra up in a towel, Tamra cries out, “I want you to warm me, Shannon,” which is a far cry from calling Shannon a drunk.
One fan speculated on X, “Tamra & Teddi planned that pool scene. Why else have an urgency to “un-kill” the one person pre committed to a TV moment #rhoc.”
Another penned, “LMAO the ladies hate Teddi even more for throwing Tamra into the pool #RHOC,” while a fellow viewer said, “Pushing Tamra in the pool was reckless. She could have gotten severely injured.”
