RHOC: Teddi Mellencamp Shuts Down Gretchen Rossi’s Claim That Tamra’s to Blame for Slade’s Unemployment as She and Erika Jayne Tell Him to “Get a Job”
Teddi Mellencamp defended Tamra Judge against Gretchen Rossi‘s suggestion that she cost her longtime fiancé, Slade Smiley, work on Monday’s episode of her shared podcast with Erika Jayne.
After Gretchen, 46, suggested that Tamra’s claim about Slade being a “deadbeat dad” led him to struggle to find employment, the 44-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum and her co-host fired back at the idea, noting that Slade’s past struggles with child support had nothing to do with Tamra, 58.
“So Gretchen blames Tamra for the reason why Slade hasn’t worked in 10 years,” Teddi began on the September 8 episode of Diamonds in the Rough as she and Erika, 54, looked back on the latest episode of
“She did say that he had lost work because of the bad things that Tamra had said,” Erika replied. “And if you just Google it, you could see.”
After Erika wondered what Slade did before RHOC, Teddi said he may have been in banking or real estate before mentioning that Slade had “been on the show multiple times with different women, four different women.”
She then signaled Slade’s past arrest, revealing to Erika and their listeners that he was booked for not paying child support.
“It’s out there on the World Wide Web. I don’t think it had anything to do with Tamra,” Teddi explained as Erika said being on a reality show doesn’t make you “unemployable.”
“For me, when it comes to Gretchen, I’m like, this is just too old. No one cares,” Teddi noted.
She then told Slade, “Get a new job.”
“Or get a job,” Erika added. “[And] I’m not being shady to Slade. It’s just, if this is what’s going on. And I’m not judging … but you can get a job if that’s the case. We all get to get jobs.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers Friday, September 12: Luna’s Getaway and Remy’s Shocking Visitor

The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers for Friday, September 12, reveal that Luna Nozawa’s (Lisa Yamada) getaway will leave Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) fuming. Remy Pryce (Christian Weissmann) will also get a shocking visitor, so let’s talk about the chaos Luna will unleash.
Luna was smug throughout most of her conversation with Will at Li Finnegan’s (Naomi Matusda) apartment, but she finally looked a little rattled in the end.
It seems like it’s finally dawning on Luna that Will could legitimately call the police and have her hauled off to jail.
That’s the last place Luna wants to be, so she’ll make a break for it on Friday’s B&B episode.
Luna will take off running and frustrate Will since he won’t be able to catch up with her.
Once Will realizes Luna is gone, he’ll take a phone call from Katie Logan (Heather Tom).
Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) was just gushing to Katie about how wonderful Will is, so Katie may tell Will about that and suggest leaving her in the dark on the mystery woman is the right choice.
Now that Will’s solved that mystery, he’ll be in a tight spot.
Will won’t want Electra to find out that he landed in bed with Luna of all people! If wasn’t Will’s fault, but that news would still hurt.
Of course, Luna is dangerous and capable of anything, so Will will also have concerns about her being on the loose.
Is Will going to come clean to Katie about his Luna run-in and all the mayhem that’s erupted?
Whatever the case, Luna will be looking for somewhere she can hide out for a while, so she’ll turn to Remy for assistance.
Remy will be stunned when Luna shows up at his door since he thinks she’s deceased.
Luna will plead for help, so it looks like she’ll be crashing with Remy for a while.
Remy may think Luna should turn herself in, but she’ll refuse to go back to prison.
The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Luna will keep scheming in the coming episodes, so we’ll bring you updates on her creativity and any other sneaky moves along the way.
