Teddi Mellencamp is still actively battling stage 4 cancer. The latest on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum comes from her father, John Mellencamp. The rocker shared an emotional update during a recent podcast interview.
She got clear scans in October 2025. With the cancer “gone” from her brain, Teddi made a triumphant return to BravoCon the following month and received a lot of love from fans and fellow Bravolebrities. However, she has been noticeably absent from her podcast, Two T’s In a Pod recently. So what’s really going on?
John said Teddi Mellencamp is “really sick” and “suffering”
According to the 74-year-old musician, his daughter is “really sick” as she continues to battle stage 4 cancer. John gave the health update during an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience.
“It’s not f*ing fun,” he said of Teddi’s current situation. “She’s got cancer in the brain, and she’s suffering right now.”
The comments are causing alarm and confusion from fans. The last Teddi shared on her October 3 podcast episode was that there was no “detectable cancer” in her recent scans. Even so, the immunotherapy has been taxing enough to deal with.
“Just to give a little life update to you guys, I had my immunotherapy yesterday and I did my scans and at this point there is no detectable cancer,” Teddi previously told her co-host Dolores Catania.
She added, “When they told me, I was in such shock. I was like, numb.”
At the time, the former Bravolebrity clarified that she has to continue immunotherapy for another year. And there is an entire process to really returning to health. Teddi stated, “I’m not considered in remission or anything like that.”
“I’m still going to be having days when I’m feeling sick and stuff because I still am in immunotherapy, so I’m still fighting because you have to be,” she continued. “The way the [doctors] said it works, it’s like one year, then two years, then at three years you’re allowed to be considered … in remission. So, but that was huge news yesterday.”
Teddi has been very honest and vulnerable about her health journey. She’s been heralded as a spokesperson for the disease, which started as melanoma before metastasizing to her brain and lungs. The RHOBH alum has a legion of fans and followers ready to offer support, should she choose to share her current health situation. As ever, Teddi has her wonderful family, children, and father by her side.
The entire Reality Team continues to root for Teddi.
