Here's What Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave Thought About Meeting Bethenny Frankel

There's a lot to unpack being a first-time Housewife. Imagine outside of complicated relationships, feuds, and many ladies' lunches, meeting one of the most legendary 'Wives from any franchise. On Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave's trip to the Big Apple with the ladies of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she met the "B" herself, Bethenny Frankel. When Teddi stopped by The Daily Dish podcast, hosts Megan Segura and Rachael Roberts were dying to ask the straight-shooting, down-to-earth Housewives rookie about her first impression of New York's outspoken and bold veteran.

"I met her with Kyle [Richards] and she was funny and snarky," Teddi recalled. "I mean, all the things that you would think. She was fun."

As fans have seen on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Kyle and Bethenny have been good friends for many years. So, naturally, a trip to New York for the Beverly Hills resident would not be complete without dropping in on her long-time BFF. 

On the podcast, Teddi explained that Bethenny is exactly how she is on the show: "There's no difference." While mixing new and old friends can be hard, it sounds like Teddi and Bethenny hit it off. Fans of the show will get to witness the bicoastal crossover on Tuesday's new episode.

Meeting Bethenny isn't the only crossover experience Teddi's had since she's joined the show. Listen to the full podcast episode above to learn which other Bravo ladies Teddi has lunched with.
