Teddi Mellencamp exits 'RHOBH', fans want Nicollette Sheridan to replace housewife in Lisa Rinna's takedown season

The following housewives are expected to return for season 11 of 'RHOBH' – Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Lisa Rinna and Garcelle Beauvais

Following reports of Teddi Mellencamp's axing from 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' cast, the reality star took to her Instagram to confirm the news. In a brief Instagram video, Teddi confirmed that she wouldn't be returning for Season 11 of 'RHOBH', as her contract expired, and it wasn't renewed. Fans were elated with the news of Teddi's exit, and the discussion soon turned to who would be replacing Teddi on the popular reality show.

The following housewives are expected to return for season 11 of 'RHOBH'-- Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Lisa Rinna and Garcelle Beauvais. With Teddi gone, fans have begun demanding for Rinna's firing from the show. Although there's no news of Rinna's firing or demotion from the show, fans have begun pitching for a housewife in place of Teddi, who according to them will definitely get under Rinna's skin. 

In case you're wondering who it is, it's none other than Nicollette Sheridan. Sheridan was the former wife of Rinna's husband- Harry Hamlin. In an earlier season, during a conversation with Denise Richards, Rinna talked about Sheridan on the show. She told Denise how the 'Desperate Housewives' star cheated on Hamlin while married to him, by sleeping with Michael Bolton. Later, Sheridan took to her social media to clarify that she didn't cheat on Hamlin. This eventually escalated into a social media feud between Sheridan and Rinna, calling each other's version of incidents "fake news". 

So, with one spot vacant amongst the Beverly Hills housewives' ensemble, fans are gunning for the production to rope in Sheridan. A fan tweeted, "Thank you @BravoTV
for getting rid of John Mellencamp’s daughter. Can we now get rid of Kathy Hilton’s sister? We also need #Nicolette #sheridan to air Harry Hamlin's wife's secrets. Thanks! From all Bravo fans. #BravoTV #RHOBH@ryanbailey25." "Let's throw Nicollette Sheridan (Harry Hamlin's ex-wife) in the mix and see how much Rinna keeps it together before she folds and runs for the state of Oregon ! #RHOBH," wrote a fan.

Fans are hoping that if Sheridan is added to the cast, then she can go after Rinna, which fans have been waiting for all along. A fan commented, "Queen Nicollette Sheridan would eat Rinna for lunch and run her out of California !!!!! #RHOBH." "I would start watching again if @BravoTV @evolutionusa fires Teddi, Erika, Rinna & Dorit; hires back Lisa Vanderpump & Garcelle. Then hires Kathy Hilton & possibly Nicolette Sheridan &/or Heather Locklear. That would be AMAZEBALLS! Ratings would finally be thru the roof! #RHOBH," expressed a fan. Another fan shared, "If you’re keeping Rinna, bring on Nicolette Sheridan. We all want Rinna’s take down season! #RHOBH."
