Teddi Mellencamp told the “actual truth” about Kyle Richards’ eviction lawsuit against his sister Kim Richards.
“The real truth is, yeah, we were told that if we wanted them to keep paying us, we needed to get help,” the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star said Wednesday on the “Two Ts In A Pod” podcast with Tamra Judge.
Mellencamp said she believes Kyle is “financially supporting” Kim, a deal they’ve had since the first season of the Bravo reality show in 2010.
“I remember a big fight between the two of them when Kyle said, ‘Mauricio[Umanski]has always been looking out for you…’ Kyle has a good heart and will always say yes in the end,” she claimed.
“But this was a really long time ago. It’s not even where she lives now. It’s not even the same place.”
Mellencamp, 44, said Kim surrendered the property after the lawsuit was filed.
“It’s like you filed in court, it’s like an eviction, yeah, and she left after that,” she shared. “That’s it.”
The podcast host then gave an update on Kim, saying she has “got better” since her eviction.
“So Kim is still well taken care of, like, come on,” she shared.
Last weekend, news broke that Kyle, 57, filed a lawsuit in January 2025 to have his sister Kim, 61, evicted from their Los Angeles apartment.
The “Halloween Ends” actress claimed that Kim lived in her two-bedroom home in Encino, Calif., for years. However, Kyle claimed that he had asked his sister to move out of the mansion at the end of 2024.
After Kim reportedly did not respond to the initial lawsuit, a default judgment was entered in March 2025 and the “Tough Turf” star was ordered to hand over his assets.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department attempted to sentence Kim. However, she had already surrendered the land.
Kim co-starred with Kyle on the first five seasons of “RHOBH” from 2010 to 2015.
The former child actress stepped away from Housewife after season 5, citing personal struggles, but continued to appear in subsequent seasons.
In 2024, Kim was reportedly placed in psychiatric detention for 72 hours due to a relapse in drug abuse.
