Tinsley Mortimer’s Mom Dishes on Tinsley & Billy Bush

Spill that tea, Dale. When Tinsley Mortimer was asked about the rumors that she's dating Billy Bush, she seemed to brush off their recent hangout as nothing more than an innocent game of bowling between pals during Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Tuesday.

How to Watch

"We went bowling. We had a lot of fun, but we're not dating," she said of her longtime pal. "No [we didn't canoodle]. We're just friends."

Enter Mama Dale Mercer, who offered up a slightly different take on her Real Housewives of New York City daughter's time spent with the TV personality, which you can check out above.

Previously Tinsley commented on the Billy Bush rumors in a similar fashion, pretty much shutting down speculation that they are dating after they were spotted out together.

“Billy and I have been good friends for a long time. And you know, I’m dating. I’m dating around," Scott Kluth's former girlfriend told Us Weekly last month. At the time, she also shared a few more details with PEOPLE, adding, “He’s a good friend and is super fun. We all did go bowling together, it was a fun night.”

Well, there you have it.
