On Wednesday night’s episode, Brandi told Kyle Richards and Teddi Mellencamp that Denise is “not who she pretends to be.” Before talking about the alleged affair, she shared comments she allegedly made about Teddi Mellencamp.

“She doesn’t like you at all,” Brandi said to Teddi, as per The Daily Dish. “She’s said horrible things about you. You’re obnoxious, you’ll do anything to be in this group because you’ve lived under your dad’s shadow your whole life…it was just mean.”

In the throwback post, Irving captioned the shot by writing, “Found this cute photo cleaning out some boxes. The sisters having a fun day.” He admitted that he was always “tough” on his daughters, but it allowed them to “become strong, honest, independent women.”

John’s message read, “I know you are busy living in my shadow but…” and included a photo of the father and daughter duo, adding, “Dennis Richards – never heard of him.”

Teddi responded to her father’s text with, “You know who DENISE is dad.” Denise didn’t like Teddi and John’s conversation. She took to Instagram to slam the RHOBH costar.

Ever, I don’t care what you were told.” However, Denise deleted the post shortly after sharing it with her followers.

Denise Richards also addressed the biggest scandal of this season. In a new interview with the Washington Post, the 49-year-old actress denied Brandi’s claims about their alleged hookup. She then teased that all will be revealed later on this season.

“I did not have an affair,” Denise flatly told the newspaper. “There’s definitely consistency with the subject matter that comes up on this Housewives season, and that’s all I’ll say.”

As for Brandi’s claims that Denise and Aaron have an open marriage?

“If I had an open marriage, I would be open about it,” Denise said.

The reality star admits that her comments about Aaron’s manhood and jokes about happy ending massages “definitely bit me in the a** a bit.” Her “openness” last season has led her to become more private. Denise also wants to make it clear that she’s not the woman she portrayed on Wild Things.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesday nights at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
