Two years ago, Bo Dietl stepped into the spotlight on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. The private investigator and friend of Luis Ruelas supposedly had dirt on everybody. Now, he’s been appointed by Donald Trump to serve on the Homeland Security Advisory Council. It’s wild, but it’s just another example of the undeniable fact that all roads lead back to Bravo.

Bo Dietl has bigger problems than RHONJ’s Luis Ruelas now

Bo isn’t just a private investigator, he’s also a retired NYPD officer and podcaster who’s been floating around the political sphere for years. For example, he ran for New York City mayor in 2017 and got around 1% of the vote.

In Season 13 of RHONJ, Bo became a central part of the drama when Luis threatened to send him after his wife’s enemies. A few months later, that dynamic duo got sued for allegedly hacking computers to get information about Luis’ ex. She accused them of “harassment and abuse.”

With that impressive resume, our former reality star president decided that Bo needed to bring his talents to the federal government. He announced the news with a congratulatory post on his social media site, Truth Social. Try not to roll your eyes too hard while reading this.

“I am proud to announce the formation of my revamped Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC), which is comprised of Top Experts in their field, who are highly respected by their peers,” Trump began.

“It is a big honor to serve on HSAC, and I know the new Members, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, Mark Levin, Bo Dietl, and Joseph Gruters, will do an incredible job,” he added.

So, what exactly will Bo be doing in this new role? According to Trump, this group will be “developing new policies and strategies” to help “secure” the borders of the United States. We’ll see how that goes.

Real Housewives of New Jersey is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

Why Garcelle Beauvais Unfollowed the RHOBH Cast (Including Sutton Stracke) After the Season 14 Reunion https://www.realitytea.com/2025/04/22/why-garcelle-beauvais-unfollowed-rhobh-cast-sutton-stracke-reunion/ https://www.realitytea.com/2025/04/22/why-garcelle-beauvais-unfollowed-rhobh-cast-sutton-stracke-reunion/#respond Tue, 22 Apr 2025 15:07:52 +0000 https://www.realitytea.com/?p=903136 Garcelle is DONE with RHOBH.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills viewers are still reeling after Garcelle Beauvais walked out of the Season 14 reunion. No one, not even her supposed bestie Sutton Stracke, went out to follow her. Garcelle already announced her exit from RHOBH before part 3 of the reunion aired. But in the episode, viewers saw the exact moment she chose to quit.

Now, in addition to leaving the show, Garcelle unfollowed most of the RHOBH cast on Instagram. What made Garcelle unfollow her former co-stars? How did the RHOBH cast respond? Is there anyone Garcelle still follows from the show? We have the details and theories below.

Garcelle Beauvais unfollowed the RHOBH cast after Season 14 reunion walk-off

Garcelle herself said that “everybody jumped at me” at the Season 14 reunion. Even when she took accountability, the others wouldn’t let up. She was visibly exhausted. But she still waited until the end to leave, she just refused to partake in the cast photo.

After she walked off, Garcelle didn’t mince words about the other RHOBH cast members. “I can’t be friends with people like that,” the Jamie Foxx Show alum said. “I don’t trust them, and they obviously don’t like me.” She declared that they were all “f*cking assholes.”

Garcelle didn’t get to see how the others responded after she left. So, it’s possible that watching the cast’s reactions when the episode aired is what pushed her to hit unfollow. For instance, dismissing her issues as “child’s play.” Dorit Kemsley labeled her “unprofessional.” Garcelle and Dorit feuded for years, it wasn’t shocking that the Coming to America actress unfollowed her specifically.

For a while, Garcelle and Erika Jayne seemed to be getting on better terms, even sharing a kiss. But Erika’s shady comments and Garcelle’s responses to those comments put the kibosh on a potential friendship. At the reunion, Erika infamously said she wished Garcelle were more interesting. Garcelle responded, “That’s a sh*tty thing to say when I thought we were in a better place.” 

It probably didn’t help that Erika and Bozoma Saint John also came under fire for their attitudes about Garcelle on Watch What Happens Live. And all season long, Kyle Richards and Erika repeatedly singled out Garcelle for not showing her “real life.”

It wasn’t terribly surprising that Garcelle unfollowed the others. But Sutton was supposed to be Garcelle’s bestie. However, the reunion showed how Sutton failed Garcelle. The Spider-Man: Homecoming actress repeatedly hoped Sutton would have her back, but was left to fend for herself. When she was asked a question about Sutton, Garcelle clearly had enough. She chose to stand up for herself in response to the question instead.

During Season 14, viewers also saw Garcelle support Sutton during a difficult visit with her mother, Reba. When Garcelle mentioned this at the reunion, Sutton changed the subject to her friendliness with Erika. Considering Erika’s cruel reunion comment to Garcelle, which she vented about to Sutton backstage, it must’ve felt like a slap in the face.

To cap things off, instead of following her friend, Sutton stayed to take the cast photo. She told the others she didn’t understand why Garcelle left. By comparison, when Sutton had her health scare at the Season 13 reunion, Garcelle went along to keep her company.

This year, Sutton was shocked to see that Garcelle left the studio instead of waiting for her. In that moment, the Southern belle seemed a bit obtuse to just how upset Garcelle was when she walked off.

How did the RHOBH cast respond after Garcelle Beauvais unfollowed?

After news broke that Garcelle unfollowed the RHOBH cast, Season 14 newbie Boz posted on Instagram. On her stories, Boz wrote, “Imagine being mad at me, but I’m just basking in God’s favor.” Some RHOBH fans wondered if Boz’s post was intended as shade towards Garcelle.

Meanwhile, Sutton directly addressed Garcelle’s unfollowing her. She released a statement, where Sutton noted that Garcelle unfollowed all the Beverly Hills Housewives. “I can only imagine that she needs a clean break right now,” Sutton responded. “I love her and am giving her the space she needs.” As for Garcelle’s post-RHOBH journey, Sutton added, “I know that she is going to move through this next chapter with grace and success.”

Who does Garcelle Beauvais still follow from RHOBH?

Garcelle may be done with the main Housewives, but she still follows RHOBH Season 14 “friends of” Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly. Viewers couldn’t help but notice Garcelle’s side eye when Jennifer gave a toast that the “best ships are friendships.” But while she wasn’t feeling that in the moment, it appears Garcelle has no beef with the Oscar nominee. This aligns with many RHOBH viewers, who gushed that Jennifer was one of the highlights of Season 14. The kooky, ultra-rich, and hilarious movie star was a refreshing presence at the tense reunion. Of course, it’s interesting to note that Jennifer is Sutton’s BFF.

At first, Garcelle continued to follow some of Sutton’s business accounts, such as The Sutton Concept. However, Garcelle later unfollowed those accounts as well. We’ll have to wait and see if their friendship can come back from this. In the meantime, Garcelle still follows their mutual friend/former RHOBH co-star Crystal Kung Minkoff. Should fans expect a tell-all appearance on Crystal’s podcast?

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

RHOC Alum Lydia McLaughlin’s Brother’s Death: Details https://www.realitytea.com/2025/04/22/rhoc-lydia-mclaughlin-brother-death-details/ https://www.realitytea.com/2025/04/22/rhoc-lydia-mclaughlin-brother-death-details/#respond Tue, 22 Apr 2025 14:34:55 +0000 https://www.realitytea.com/?p=903293 The details are startling.

Some fans of the Real Housewives of Orange County remember Lydia McLaughlin as the bright light of the franchise. Her mother, Judy Stirling, would toss fairy dust around and try to bring a bit of peace to the world. Sadly, Lydia isn’t finding much peace these days, as she recently lost her mother. Now the RHOC alum is dealing with another death in the family – her brother, Geoffrey Shyam Stirling. He was recently involved in a violent incident with police, and here are the details we have so far.

Geoffrey Shyam Stirling was shot by police

On Thursday, Geoffrey Shyam Stirling was shot fatally by Newport Beach police. He was the son of Canadian NTV CEO Scott Stirling. The 45-year-old was pulled over while on his motorcycle for a traffic violation. The police department revealed in a press release, “Shortly after being stopped, Stirling became uncooperative and assaulted the officer. During the ensuing violent altercation, Stirling managed to remove the department-issued taser from the officer’s duty belt and attempted to deploy it multiple times against the officer. At that point, an officer-involved shooting occurred.” As a result, Lydia’s brother was pronounced dead after being taken to Hoag Hospital. 

Guillermo Tagalogon, who lives near Hoag Hospital, told OnScene.TV, via People, he heard “six or seven gunshots.” On Friday, April 18, the state attorney general announced that it was investigating the shooting, in line with California law. After the California Department of Justice completes its investigation, it will be handed over to the DOJ’s Special Prosecutions Section within the Criminal Law Division for an independent review. The Newport Beach police have 45 days from the date of the shooting to release officer-worn body camera footage of the incident.   

Lydia McLaughlin speaks out

The former Real Housewives of Orange County star took to her social media to share her grief. She wrote, “My family has experienced an unimaginable loss. My brother, Geoff, was tragically taken, and our hearts are shattered. This was the song he turned to after we lost our mom. He’d cry every time. I can’t believe we’re facing this pain just 6 months after losing my best friend and mother. I know they’re both with Jesus now, and He’s walking with me through this darkness. One step at a time.” Her brother, Jesse Stirling, also posted a collage of photos.

Below the photos, Jesse wrote, “Dear Brother, We have hundreds of photos together and shared thousands of adventures. I don’t even know how to begin this memorial,” he wrote. “I’ll just say that you left us too soon at age 45. I’ll miss your spirit full of laughter and boundless enthusiasm. Though our time together was heartbreakingly cut short, the memories we created will forever echo in my heart.” The patriarch of the family added, “Geoffrey was a loving son, brother, uncle, and friend. He was a television producer, script writer, actor, and model. He attended church every Sunday and supported multiple charities. We miss him already.”

Geoffrey Shyam Stirling had a criminal background

According to the Los Angeles Times, Stirling was scheduled to appear at an arraignment hearing Monday for a felony arson charge in connection with a March 21st fire. It is unclear whether the upcoming court appearance was related to the traffic stop. Geoffrey has more skeletons in his closet, too. In 2012, he was booked in Maricopa County, Arizona, on aggravated assault of an adult on a minor. He is registered on the Megan’s Law website, too. Megan’s Law is a set of federal and state laws that require the registration of sex offenders in order to provide the public with information about those offenders to protect children and the community.

Geoffrey was registered under code 290.005. The California Penal Code Section 290.005 requires registration as a sex offender for individuals convicted of offenses in another state or federal court if those offenses would be considered registerable in California. The key aspect is that the out-of-state conviction must contain all the elements of a California sex offense to trigger the registration requirement.” Geoffrey was also registered under California’s Penal Code 311.4(a) which “criminalizes the employment, coercion, or use of a minor in the production or distribution of child pornography.”

Teddi Mellencamp has become a beacon of light for many who find themselves fighting the same battle. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has been fighting against cancer publicly. And trying to put her best foot forward. The next few months will be tough, but the Bravoleb is determined to keep followers up to date on her next big steps. 

Teddi Mellencamp has a big CAT scan coming up

Teddi recently sat down with Extra to share an update on how she was doing. “What we have to remember is that my cancer was skin cancer. The last time we spoke here was, like, I had skin cancer, melanoma, on my back,” Teddi shared. The mother of three went on to say, “This metastasized, which is still a form of melanoma, but into my brain, into my lungs. I have, you know, before I had them removed, I had four plum-sized melanomas in my brain, and I hadn’t gotten a CAT scan. But I had gone and gotten my skin checked every three months.”

This Wednesday is an essential moment for Teddi in her recovery process. “Wednesday, I go in and get my next CAT scan, where they’ll find out if these recent tumors are getting smaller, and then I also get my third round of immunotherapy. I always thought radiation was the one that was going to kick my butt, but it’s been immunotherapy.” Teddi told the host it will be “four days of bad mood coming up.” But it’s just a part of the journey. 

Teddi Mellencamp is most frightened for her children

Perhaps the most heartwrenching thing about Teddi’s cancer battle is her fear for her three children. While tearing up, the RHOBH alum admitted, “I get sad at the idea of not, and my kids are young. My kids are young, and I still have a lot more trouble to cause. I have so much, you know, I’m nowhere near ready, and I feel like I’m gonna fight as hard as I possibly can. But um, no, it’s scary.” Teddi’s children are aware of their mother’s health issues, too. “I think the girls are okay because they just are so chatty, you know, they ask everything. Cruz, my son … he is a little bit confused because he’s not asking questions.”

Teddi went on to explain  “The other day I was having a sip of, taking a sip of something, and he goes, ‘Can I have a sip?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, sure,’ and he goes, ‘Never mind, actually you’re contagious,’ and I’m like, ‘I’m actually not contagious, bud.’ And, like, he’ll come in in the middle of the night and, like, check that I’m breathing.”

As far as her personal life goes, Teddi and Edwin Arroyave have put their divorce on hold. She told viewers, “We’re not together, but we put, like, all the divorce stuff on hold because getting divorced is very stressful.” Edwin has moved back into the family home to help with the children. “It’s called nesting, but most of the time now, since I’ve had these surgeries, he’ll stay at the house and then we kind of rotate around, but not, you know, we’re separate bedroom-ing,” Teddi shared. 

For Teddi, each day is a gift as she continues the good fight. She shared during the interview, “Today is a good day. I think what I’ve learned through all of this is some days, I’m gonna feel great … Some days, I’m not … Everybody’s journey is different.” And for Teddi she finds the positive well wishes a boost adding, “I would say a big thing has been all of the people messaging me saying, ‘I went and got checked because of you,’ or ‘My doctor only had me get this checked, and then I said, no, you should also do this.’”  Before she left the studio, she once again encouraged fans to get themselves checked for skin cancer in hopes of helping others.

We’ve all seen the video of Kyle Richards and Teddi Mellencamp caught up in an argument with a random lady walking her dogs on the street. In the video, it looked like Kyle was about three seconds away from getting squished, but we were left with so many questions. Who was this lady, and what the hell did she do to make The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star go off?

Fortunately, Teddi took to her Diamonds in the Rough podcast with Erika Jayne to fill in the blanks about what happened. Apparently, Kyle felt upset when she saw the woman mistreating her dogs. Things went downhill from there.

Teddi Mellencamp says the dog owner fighting with Kyle Richards was “inappropriate”

“We’re walking on this side of the street, and we see this woman, and it’s clear she’s mistreating her dogs,” Teddi began during the April 18 episode of Diamonds in the Rough.

Teddi continued, “Kyle — in a polite way — says, ‘Can you please treat your dogs a little nice?’ And then the woman went frickin’ rogue.”

According to Teddi, the woman in the video was being “completely inappropriate to her dogs.” She didn’t specify what exactly she did, but whatever it was, it tugged on Kyle’s heartstrings.

“It was scary,” Teddi continued. “I knew it was gonna set Kyle off because Kyle has a heart.”

In the viral video showing the confrontation, the dog owner locked onto Kyle. Meanwhile, the RHOBH star was bouncing around the sidewalk, hiding behind Teddi, and filming the entire thing on her phone.

We appreciate Teddi for spilling the tea on what caused the confrontation. However, we’re still hoping Kyle drops the footage she filmed on her phone. We need to see the showdown from her POV.

Since Season 1, Episode 1 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, I’ve always had a soft spot for Kyle Richards. Perhaps it was because she had such turmoil with her sisters. Or the fact that she really loved being a wife and mother. In the early days, Kyle came across as innocent (now I know better), but whatever it was, the actor had a spell over me. However, as Season 14 continued to air, I couldn’t help but wonder, was Kyle the damsel in distress, or was she just the distress for others?

RHOBH’s Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky haven’t made any marriage decisions

So, divorce is a sticky rollercoaster of a mess. We all know this. For two years now, fans have watched Kyle and Mauricio Umansky navigate their separation, and it’s pretty much stalled in the water. But to have no resolution feels a bit odd to many RHOBH fans. To this day, none of us understands what led to their 27-year marriage ending. Kyle has dropped cryptic hints during the reunion that Mau broke her trust, but never gave an example.

For years, there have been rumors surrounding his possible infidelity. But no woman has ever come forward claiming to be a mistress. Since they announced their breakup in July 2023, Mauricio has moved out of the family home. Since then, fans have watched Kyle process the major change to her life. But some scenes showed the duo hugging, crying, and talking about their family. And while it might have been cathartic for them, it felt manipulative on Kyle’s part. The big elephant in the room is why no papers have been signed, and all fingers seem to be pointing to Kyle holding back.    

Mauricio Umansky and Kyle Richards are separated, so he’s allowed to date

Mau has been spotted with multiple women. But the biggest lady of note had to be the airport snap heard around the Bravosphere. After just stepping off the plane in Mykonos, Greece, on July 16, a pap snapped Mau embracing a young woman and kissing her. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans watch the fallout during the current season. And while Erika Jayne and Jennifer Tilly both recently called him out for his “passive-aggressive” behavior, I was left questioning if Mau was really at fault here. According to Kyle, he is playing by the rules, and both are entitled to date during their separation period.  

Kyle told The Hollywood Reporter, “Obviously, it’s strange to see his personal life played out all the time. Photos of him walking down the street [with other women]. But while it may be strange, we’re not together like that, so it is what it is.” But Kyle also noted at the reunion that he is allowed to date. She told the cast that Mau loves to socialize. “It makes me think that’s one of the reasons we’re not together, actually,” she elaborated. “I don’t like to go out and party like that … When we were in our 20s, it was great — 30s, too — but now, I’m like, I don’t want to do that.”

Did Kyle Richards play the victim on RHOBH?

During the reunion, Kyle revealed some more cryptic breadcrumbs to Andy Cohen and viewers. “I know he regrets things that have happened that got us to this place,” Kyle responded. “I don’t know if he wants to get back together because he has never said that,” she shared. Kyle alluded to some issues that could have caused their demise. She noted that “money, traveling, fame, his business, The Agency, growing, [and] the attention he was getting with all that” didn’t help their relationship.  

At times, it very much felt like Kyle played the victim role. She was not innocent, as photos of her and Morgan Wade took over the blogs. To this day, she still hasn’t defined their relationship. But according to Kyle, the marital issues had more to do with Mau. She ended her part at the reunion, noting, “Women are snakes. They see a man who was a good husband and a good father, and he has money, and they’re like, ‘Oh, I want that,’ and [throw] themselves at him. And we got married very young, and he never got to go out and do his thing. And I think that, you know, really contributed to the downfall of our marriage.” Kyle can be both the villain and the damsel; it just depends on the day.

This shouldn’t be too much of a shocker, but Mia Thornton has confirmed her departure from The Real Housewives of Potomac. When she left the Season 9 reunion early and hinted at a move to Atlanta, we knew it was only a matter of time before this announcement dropped. Now, it’s official. Mia’s flute is no more.

Mia Thornton is leaving Real Housewives of Potomac (RHOP)

Mia shared the news of her RHOP exit on Instagram with a photoshoot showing her holding a newspaper. The headline on the paper read, “Mia Thornton moves to Atlanta.” The real tea came in the caption underneath the picture.

“With every new season comes a new beginning and I have some news to share. My family and I have made the decision to relocate to Atlanta, and with that, I will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Potomac next season,” Mia wrote in the caption.

Mia went on to express her gratitude to NBC and Bravo for her four-season run on RHOP. Throughout her time on the show, she candidly shared information about her complicated family history. She unpacked trauma with her bestie Jacqueline Blake and navigated a divorce from Gordon Thornton. Her relationship with the truth may have been questionable at times, but you can’t say Mia ever had a shortage of storylines.

On Instagram, Mia teased that there are “exciting opportunities” in store for her next chapter. Some fans think that means she’s going to make the jump to Real Housewives of Atlanta. We’re not sure about that, but regardless of what Mia does next, we’ll be watching and we wish her the best.

Another day, another feud between Bravolebrities. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards had quite a bone to pick with Jeff Lewis. He’s the host of the Sirius XM Jeff Lewis Live radio show. Before this, he was the star of his Bravo home-renovation series Flipping Out for over 10 years. The two are reality TV icons in their own right, which made their feud much more unexpected.

It all happened in Season 13 of RHOBH, when Kyle confronted Jeff in the finale episode. She publicly slammed the radio host for accusing her of using weight loss drugs. He first commented on Watch What Happens Live and later said he was only joking. Kyle and Jeff hashed it out on the episode and quickly buried the hatchet, but was their reconciliation just for show? Kyle just set the record straight.

Where do Kyle Richards and Jeff Lewis stand today?

Kyle recently confirmed that she and Jeff are on a great page; she’s planning another on-camera get-together soon.

“I do need to go on Jeff’s show. He asked me a while back, but I just had so much going on, but I’ll go on again — as long as he’s not having to send me orchids, I’ll show up,” she shared in her April 8 Amazon livestream.

The reality TV star further explained that her relationship with Jeff usually goes back and forth, but that there’s one main way he makes up for it.

“Jeff, it’s time for an orchid! No, he only sends me orchids when he’s said something naughty.”

It’s safe to say that the two did patch things up in Season 13. In fact, her first appearance on his radio show was in November 2024, a few months after their on-screen argument aired.

Maybe whilst she’s planning to be on his show again, Kyle will consider making an appearance on his upcoming series? It’s already been announced that Jeff is returning to Bravo with a Flipping Out reboot. There aren’t many details on the show’s comeback just yet. But, since Kyle is thinking of moving, having a famed home decorator by her side wouldn’t be a bad premiere episode.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

Since the rebooted Season 4 of The Real Housewives of Miami, co-stars Adriana de Moura and Julia Lemigova were besties. Their fun, even flirtatious vibe captured RHOM fans’ attention from the jump. While this duo always had each other’s backs, that is sadly no longer the case. Feel free to cry into a mojito, because this one hurts.

Adriana de Moura and Julia Lemigova’s RHOM friendship is over

Recently, Julia spoke to SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio, explaining how her friendship with Adriana fell apart. “For years, people have been telling me not to trust certain people, and I think I wanted to fight that, to fight what they were telling me. But now I’m finally opening my eyes and seeing maybe they were right all along,” Julia stated.

According to Julia, while filming Season 7 of RHOM, Adriana came “directly at” her. She still doesn’t understand what caused Adriana’s strong reaction. “Adriana is a very mysterious person. You never really know with her,” Julia said. “The incredible part is, as you’re watching the show, you will be discovering things about our relationship at the same time as I am discovering them myself.”

She continued, “There are still maybe some things I don’t know [about why we fell out]. I don’t even know what and why. I just know some facts, and it’s very sad and disturbing.” Julia added, “But, you know, what’s done is done.” It is so distressing to hear that this duo’s friendship is over.

“And life is going on. You just have to learn from things and just keep going,” Julia stated. “So I don’t know what tomorrow’s going to bring – but for now, all I can say is, no, Adriana will not be coming to see me in ‘Carmen.’” Julia played Manuelita in the opera on April 12 in Miami.

I can’t wait for Season 7 of RHOM to return so that we can find out exactly what happened between Adriana and Julia.

The Real Housewives of Miami is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

Going through cancer treatment has got to be hard enough without having to worry about how your young children are handling it all. That’s the dilemma facing Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp as she battles stage 4 metastatic melanoma.

“I think the girls are OK, because they just are so chatty. They ask everything,” Teddi told Extra on April 17. “Cruz, he is a little bit confused, because he’s not asking questions.” Teddi shares daughters Slate (12) and Dove (4), as well as son Cruz (10), with estranged husband Edwin Arroyave.

“The other day I was taking a sip of something and he goes, ‘Can I have a sip?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, sure,'” she shared. “And he goes, ‘Never mind, actually you’re contagious.’ I’m like, ‘I’m actually not contagious, bud. He’ll come in in the middle of the night and check that I’m breathing.”

Teddi Mellencamp says children have been through “debilitating pain”

First diagnosed with melanoma in 2022, the cancer has since metastasized to her brain and lungs. After suffering excruciating headaches in February 2025, Teddi went to the emergency room, where doctors discovered four “plum-sized tumors” in her brain. During the procedure to remove the brain tumors, they also discovered more tumors in her lungs.

Teddi’s been undergoing a treatment that’s only been around since 2011: immunotherapy, which uses the body’s own immune system to attack cancer cells. Studies show that immunotherapy can significantly improve life expectancy for some cancer patients. Through it all, she’s tried to strike a balance between being honest with her children without overly alarming them.

“Today is a good day,” she told Billy. “What I’ve learned through all of this is some days, I’m gonna feel great. Some days, I’m not. Everybody’s journey’s different.”

Despite filing for divorce from Edwin in November 2024, Teddi confirmed that the divorce is “on hold” in favor of fighting one battle at a time. “We’re not together,” she explained. “It’s called nesting, but most of the time now since I’ve had these surgeries, he’ll stay at the house, and then we kind of rotate around. But we’re separate bedroom-ing.”

“He’s a good guy,” she added. “We’re having a friendship, which is what we liked about each other in the first place. We are making each other laugh and all of those types of things so I think it’s been really nice. We call it the divorce chronicles, where we just tease each other.”

Teddi Mellencamp wants to raise cancer awareness amid her own battle with metastatic melanoma

While doctors have given her about a “50/50” chance of survival, Teddi wants to raise cancer awareness. She’s determined to use her experience to help others.

“What we have to remember is that my cancer was skin cancer,” she said. “The last time we spoke here, I had skin cancer—melanoma—on my back. This metastasized, which is still a form of melanoma, but into my brain, into my lungs. “I had four plum-sized melanomas in my brain, and I hadn’t gotten a CAT scan. But I had gone and gotten my skin checked every three months.”

When she spoke to Extra, she told Billy about an important appointment coming up soon. “Wednesday, I go in and get my next CAT scan, where they’ll find out if these recent tumors are getting smaller,” she continued. “Then I also get my third round of immunotherapy. I always thought radiation was the one that was going to kick my butt, but it’s been immunotherapy.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is now streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
