The Valley’s Michelle Saniei and Scheana Shay Clap Back at Tamra Judge & Teddi for Making Fun of Michelle on Podcast

Michelle Saniei and Scheana Shay are speaking out against Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge, who recently went on a rant against Michelle and her estranged husband, Jesse Lally, on their podcast, complaining that the former couple talks about nothing but one another on The Valley.

Offering comments to a post shared to the ladies’ Instagram page, Michelle, 36, and Scheana, 40, reacted to the harsh criticism Tamra, 57, and Teddi, 43, had about Michelle, in particular, after the Real Housewives of Orange County star accused her of “[sucking] the air out of every scene.”

“I wish Michelle would talk about something other than [Jesse]. I’m like, ‘You two, please start talking about anybody else,’” Teddi, formerly of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, said on the May 7 episode of Two Ts in a Pod.

“Well, Michelle knows how to suck the air out of every scene she’s in, and I think she’s AI,” Tamra replied. “She just, ‘… Ugh … Ugh …’ Michelle never showing any emotion is just so bizarre to me. It’s like, ‘Hello? Do you have a pulse in there? Is there something going on? Do we need to change your batteries?’”

“Every time I watch her, I’m like, ‘I miss Botox so much,’” Teddi agreed.

The ladies then noted that while Jesse, 44, got emotional while participating in a gratitude circle on Tuesday’s episode of The Valley, Michelle lacked that sentiment.

“She’s like ‘… Huh? … What? …’”

After the clip from Two Ts in a Pod was shared on Instagram, Michelle was the first to clap back.

“Hi! I am a real person! A human being, not AI. You really don’t know me, but thanks for the support. Real girls girl,” she sarcastically shared. “I was going through a nasty divorce and my mom was in chemo. And btw I’ve never done Botox in my life.”

After Michelle noted her heartbreaking split and late mom’s then-impending passing, Scheana shaded Teddi and Tamra for not showing more compassion.

“Those who actually KNOW you, know this and love you for YOU! You’d think women who have been on reality tv would understand that there’s always more to the story than shown. I get it, they’re doing their job but it’s WILD to me how people are siding w Jesse. They just don’t know the whole story… yet,” she teased.

Scheana also responded to the Queens of Bravo fan page on Instagram, who offered their own defense of Michelle.

“What else is she supposed to talk about when Jesse is literally terrorizing her at every turn? ALSO: she had a sweet and nice scene with [boyfriend Aaron Nosler]. [Let’s] not…,” they wrote.

“Yep! And just bc that’s what we are seeing doesn’t mean that’s all she talks about. Trust me,” Scheana replied.

The Valley season two airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
