Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp has been having a tough time lately. She is battling stage 4 cancer, while also going through a divorce from Edwin Arroyave. Meanwhile, Edwin stepped up to help Teddi amid her health crisis. It is a relief that their split isn’t messy or nasty.
While living with cancer, Teddi decided to start dating again. Unfortunately, Teddi ended her one-month relationship with her boyfriend, Ricci Rea. She decided that she needed to focus on her health and make that her priority. And while that is the best decision for Teddi, that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t feel alone sometimes.
Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge discuss Teddi’s current situation amid cancer battle
During their podcast, Two Ts in a Pod, Teddi and her bestie, Tamra Judge, discussed how Teddi is feeling. Recently, Teddi shared that she felt that her affair with Simon Schroeder may have led to her cancer.
“Cancer’s not karma,” Tamra told Teddi. “I’m really lonely,” the RHOBH alum replied. A visibly upset Tamra had an emotional response to her friend’s pain. “You don’t have somebody that’s like, ‘Babe, let me … let me make you something, you know, healthy to eat,” Tamra said. “Let me tell you it’s gonna be alright.”
Then Teddi explained that she never asked Edwin for help because of events that transpired eight years ago. “And I never kind of told him like, ‘I’m not healed from this from eight years ago, and this is what we need to do to get through it.’ Now, I have had to put up, like, this hard exterior, in order to kind of get through,” Teddi stated. “And now I’m just kind of at the place where I’m like, ‘It’s okay to be lonely.’”
Tamra replied, “There’s no doubt in my mind that you’re going to get through this.” Teddi thanked everyone for their support, adding, “I know I’m far from perfect.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
