Brandi Rhodes Explains Why She Has Heat With Cody’s Sister

AEW’s Chief Branding Officer Brandi Rhodes recently appeared on Busted Open Radio to discuss her new Rhodes to the Top reality show, starring herself and her husband Cody Rhodes.

Brandi was asked about comments Cody’s sister Teil had made about the relationship between herself and Brandi. Teil recently mentioned things haven’t always been friendly between the two women.

Brandi said:

“I kind of don’t really feel like she said anything. I feel like she danced around it, which is okay. That’s actually a pro move. I dance around a lot of stuff because if you taken a definite stance and say something, then you have to stand by it. So I think she actually made a smart move there and danced around whatever was asked. But yeah, Teil is not lying, we’ve had a very strained relationship since day one. I think I told the story, or if I haven’t told it yet, I think I tell it in an upcoming episode of Rhodes to the Top, and I’ll go ahead and tell it now. So Day 1, Cody and I have started dating and it was around the holidays, so it was very quick that we were going to get introduced to each other’s families. I’m in Atlanta, we’re getting ready to go meet his sister who has two little kids at the time and her husband. I said ‘tell me about your sister, because I don’t know anything about her.’

“So he launches into this diatribe on this car ride, and he starts burying his sister to me. I mean, just going for it, and in good fun let me say. He does love his sister and they’re good friends. But he just starts saying silly stuff, you know how Cody is, he makes stuff up just to pop me. But I don’t know her, so we get there, we pull into the driveway. He looks at his phone and goes ‘oh crap.’ I say ‘what’s wrong?’  He said ‘I called my sister. And I’ve been recording this entire time. I’ve got to get her to delete this!’ I said ‘well it was just joking. I’m sure she’ll understand.’ He says ‘no, you don’t know my sister. If she sees this message, she will hate you forever.’ Me, who didn’t say anything?! I just sat there in the car listening, and then the door opens and she’s standing there looking like a Stepford Wife. And I’m just like, ‘I’m screwed. This is not going to go well.’ And it never went well from that day. I don’t know if Teil ever heard that voicemail or not. I’m assuming she did, but I feel like the voicemail was the curse of the beginning of our relationship.”

Brandi accepted that Teil probably had her reasons for being cold towards her at the start of her relationship with Cody, but went on to say she tries not to judge people so soon after meeting them.

“In theory, I feel like Teil probably felt like her reasons. Cody was young at the time and I’m not the first woman he dated. I’m sure he brought other women around that acted a certain kind of way. I don’t know, I wasn’t there. But you just can’t cast all of the past on the new person, you’ve got to give them a chance. For instance, my brother, his fiancée, we get along great. Has he dated past women that I haven’t liked? Yes. But everybody I allow to start on their own fresh foot. I don’t judge anything by what happened with so and so from the past because that’s not fair to my brother. And it turns out we, Carrie and I, we get along great.”
