Teddi Mellencamp Reveals Brain Tumors
Teddi Mellencamp is the daughter of rocker John Cougar Mellencamp. She mentioned her dad often when she was a cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

However, she remained close to several of her RHOBH co-stars and made guest appearances on several seasons after her departure. She also formed a friendship with RHOC‘s Tamra Judge and they started a podcast together.
The former reality star made headlines earlier this year after she was allegedly caught cheating on her husband. She revealed on social media in November that they were getting divorced. But a bigger shock was yet to come.
