Teddi Mellencamp reveals RHOBH stars that have supported her and who has not called amid brain cancer battle

Teddi Mellencamp reveals RHOBH stars that have supported her and who has not called amid brain cancer battle

Teddi Mellencamp has reveled the Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills castmate who has abandoned her as she fights brain cancer.

The 43-year-old media personality – whose latest health update was devastating – had a Q&A published by USWeekly on Wednesday in which she revealed Garcelle Beauvais has not reached out once. 

However, she said Kyle Richards has been there for her from the start of her cancer battle in 2022.

Teddi explained that she was having migraines earlier this year which led her to seeking professional medical help and she was diagnosed with six brain tumors and two lung tumors which came from melanoma that had metastasized into the tumors.

The RHOBH alum needed an in at premiere medical facility Cedars-Sinai hospital so she turned to one of her former castmates as she said: ‘We call Kyle [Richards], and we’re like, ‘How do we get into Cedars?’ And she called around and found a way for us to get in. Kyle saved the day. 

‘I believe it was within 24 hours that an incredible surgeon was able to remove four tumors from my brain. I didn’t know they had been there for six months to a year, and we had no idea.’

Teddi has had many Bravo stars support her through her battle, however, she revealed one who has not even sent her a message and another who put their feud aside to reach out.

She said: ‘Garcelle [Beauvais] has not reached out. Dorit [Kemsley] has now. I’m good friends with Erika [Jayne], so she said, ‘Dorit does want to reach out to you now, can she?’ 

‘I [said], ‘don’t know how quick I’ll be to forgive, but sure.’ But then her message was so nice that I have to say we’ll probably be fine.’

Last week, Garcelle announced her departure from the Bravo reality series after five seasons beginning in 2020.

Teddi went on to reveal other Housewives who have rallied around her including the aforementioned Kyle.

The star said: ‘Kyle has been there nonstop. My favorite part about Vicki [Gunvalson] reaching out is she sent a Housewives coloring book that I’m not in. [Laughs] 

‘Denise [Richards] reached out, which was also a little bit of a shocker.’

Earlier this week it was revealed that Teddi’s battle with brain cancer has taken a further devastating turn – with the reality star said to be preparing her children ‘for the worst.’

The RHOBH alum, who previously said she felt she was on her ‘deathbed’, has already undergone more than 20 surgeries during her two and a half year cancer battle. 

Teddi explained that she was having migraines earlier this year which led her to seeking professional medical help and she was diagnosed with six brain tumors and two lung tumors which came from melanoma that had metastasized into the tumors

She was initially diagnosed with melanoma but now it has spread and she recently underwent surgery to remove four tumors from her brain.

Earlier this month, more tumors were discovered in her brain and lungs which has caused the daughter of rocker John Mellencamp to face the reality that her daughters Slate, 12, and Dove, five, and son Cruz, 10, may have to face life without her in the very near future.

‘Teddi is a fighter – anyone who has watched Real Housewives can attest to that,’ Radar reported.

‘But it just saps her fighting spirit to think she had beaten this, only to receive another horrible diagnosis.

‘She had told her children that mommy’s sick, but she is going to be okay, and now it’s tearing her up to lay out the dark truth to them.

‘Teddi does her very best to remain optimistic through her ordeals, but her main thought is with her family and beating this cancer for their sake.’ 

The outlet reported that oncologist Dr. Jerome Spunberg said Teddi ‘faces a grim future of painful treatments and likely a tragic end.’

Spunberg has not treated Teddi’s cancer, but her said, ‘Melanoma is just notorious for spreading, and more times than not, more tumors pop up even as doctors treat the existing ones.

‘She’s likely facing a period of very serious and painful medical ordeals, and the cure rate, unfortunately, is very low.’

DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for further comment. 

Teddi took to Instagram on Saturday evening to share that she’s struggling with eye pain due to swelling.

First, the mom-of-three posted a pH๏τo of daughter Dove playing with her ‘bestie’ on a trampoline. 

She wrote, ‘Shortly after this [pH๏τo was taken] nurse Kel and @lital_aschkenasy iced me up and got me ready to [lie] in silence and the dark because my eye pain comes back same time every day.’

Teddi announced her split from her husband of 13 years, Edwin Arroyave, in November; they share  daughters Slate, 12,  Dove, five, and son Cruz, 10

‘Over it. I mean, the same time every single afternoon,’ she said before taking a deep sigh and adding, ‘I can’t even watch my shows.’

Mellencamp went on to write, ‘Surgery swelling, please go away. I would owe you one.’  

In February she publicly shared that doctors discovered multiple brain tumors, resulting in emergency surgery.

The effects of the growing tumors were present for six months before the star finally sought medical attention.

She’d been suffering from migraines but ignored the pain and kept moving forward as she faced other issues in her life, Teddi said earlier this month on her Two Ts in a Pod podcast with Tamra Judge.

‘I didn’t want to face any of it. And I was like, I just need to keep moving forward. And if I keep moving forward, then everything’s going to be fine,’ she explained about her mindset at the time.

The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star then detailed her difficult recovery as she spoke about being discharged from the hospital after her February 12th brain operation.

She told listeners that she was forced to take ‘disgusting sodium pills’ because, in order to be discharged, she had to urinate. ‘I couldn’t pee, guys. I do not know why I could not pee,’ Teddi said.

Mellencamp has been candidly documenting her road to recovery and earlier this month she gave her social media followers an update on how she’s faring.

Uploading a selfie, she wrote, ‘Update from my scans today: I have multiple tumors in my brain that weren’t able to be removed via surgery. I also have 2 tumors in my lungs. These are all metastases of my melanoma.

‘The doctors are hopeful that immunotherapy will effectively treat them.’

Showing a touch of humor, she added, ‘I am feeling positive — that I will win this battle, that I got this wig (I like the short hair, just not the bald spots), and that I can remember all of Angelina’s kids’ names.’

She announced her split from her husband of 13 years, Edwin Arroyave, in November.
