Teddi Mellencamp has had a particularly difficult week amid her battle against cancer. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum often shares updates about her health. She’s got her T Two’s In A Pod podcast as a platform, as well a notable social media following. And both are great outlets for her to get it all off her chest.
It’s been a bittersweet summer for the former Bravolebrity. On the one hand she’s had extremely encouraging results from the immunotherapy. But the treatments themselves have proved emotionally taxing. And the theme of mental wellness and self care had to be addressed during a recent conversation with Erika Jayne.
Teddi Mellencamp was experiencing “extreme depression”
“Oh my gosh, I almost needed to call you for advice because this past week has been so brutal,” Teddi opened up to Erika.
“Ok what’s going on,” the RHOBH star asked.
“I ended up getting sick. I got Covid,” the accountability coach revealed. “Which, I’m good now. But then I started feeling like extreme extreme depression. I haven’t ever felt like that.”
Erika pulled from her traumatic experience in relation to her estranged husband, Tom Girardi. Her name was dragged into his legal battles. She lived through a tremendous amount of stress, and brought that experience into her conversation with Teddi.
“It’s frightening. I laid in bed a lot. And I had really intrusive thoughts,” Erika shared. “I think that the gravity of what you’ve gone through is hitting you right now.”
Indeed, as recently as April 2025, Teddi was given a 50/50 percent chance to beat the cancer. It started as melanoma before it metastasized and spread to her brain and lungs. Thankfully, the immunotherapy treatments have proved successful.
Teddi revealed just how much despair she was feeling this past week. She shared, “I was like holy sh*t I haven’t felt like this. I don’t think ever in my life.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is now streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
