Heather McDonald told fans at her recent New York City comedy show that she thinks Teddi Mellencamp should be demoted to part-time on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She backtracked days later on her Juicy Scoop podcast.

An audience member asked Heather which RHOBH cast member should be demoted to part-time towards the end of her set.

The crowd started chanting Teddi's name right after the question left the audience member's lips.

Heather verbally agreed but appeared to backpedal shortly afterward by implying that she picked her because of a storyline problem.

Heather first claimed that she was thinking more about who to add to RHOBH rather than demote now that Lisa Vanderpump has left the series.
The comedian then said that she hated the demotion question and regretted answering it with Teddi's name.

"I don't feel that way, I really like Teddi," Heather said on her podcast. "I think she's fun to watch. I like that she's young and has young kids. I think that's an interesting dynamic to see along with Dorit (Kemsley)."

Heather then said that she'll never answer a question like that again. She also reiterated why she doesn't enjoy discussing the hiring and firing of Housewives cast members in general.
