Teddi Mellencamp Explains Why Morgan Wade Had Kyle Richards’ Initial Tattooed

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 13 is right around the corner, and fans are hoping it answers all of their questions about Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky. News of their separation confused and troubled the internet.

The reveal was so explosive that it led to rumors of Kyle cheating with none other than Morgan Wade. Morgan, Kyle, and Mauricio have persistently denied these rumors. Now, another defender has thrown their hat in the ring.

Former RHOBH star Teddi Mellencamp has sought to defend her friend Kyle. To do so, she’s explaining the context behind Kyle and Morgan’s much-discussed matching tattoos. Many believe the tattoos are a sign of romance, but Teddi has another explanation.

Teddi claims Kyle’s tattoo was “a funny joke”

Teddi took to her podcast, Two Ts In A Pod, to defend her friend Kyle. “The reason they put a ‘K’ is – the reason Kyle put a ‘K’ – was because then she could add anything else she wanted to it. They thought it would be a funny joke … But then, of course, it now has metamorphosed into so much more.”

As for Morgan, Teddi pointed out that the singer has numerous tattoos, and posited that she didn’t believe Morgan “seems super picky about the tattoos she’s putting on her body.” Teddi added, “If a letter ‘K’ was tattooed onto my body, it might be more of a red flag than somebody that probably has, I don’t know, over 100 tattoos.”

Of course, that’s just speculation. Just because someone has a lot of tattoos doesn’t mean they aren’t particular. In the past, Kyle has pointed out that she and Teddi have matching tattoos as well. She used that piece of evidence to dissuade the public from suggesting that just because she had a matching tattoo with Morgan they were having an affair.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 13 premieres October 25 at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
