Reality TV isn’t at the top of Teddi Mellencamp‘s mind these days.
In fact, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum—who is currently undergoing treatment to shrink multiple tumors in her brain and lungs after being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer earlier this year—revealed she has zero plans to return to the Bravo series amid her terrifying health battle.
After fellow Housewife Dolores Catania inquired, “Are you coming back to Beverly Hills next season?” during the May 14 episode of Teddi’s Two Ts in a Pod podcast, the 43-year-old replied, “I have no idea. No clue.”
Teddi—who costarred on RHOBH for three seasons from 2017 to 2020—added coyly, “I plead the fifth.”
And, despite her heart-wrenching cancer battle, the accountability coach doesn’t think her life is interesting enough to warrant a return.
“I am just so boring,” Teddi—who is mom to kids Slate, 12, Cruz, 10 and Dove, 5, with estranged husband Edwin Arroyave—added. “Nothing’s going on with me.”
The daughter of singer John Mellencamp jokingly added, “If I’m lucky, more of what’s happening right now can happen to me and then you guys can all see it play out. But, truly, I have no idea.”
Teddi also shared a major update on the positive direction of her ongoing immunotherapy treatments.
“So, in exciting news, last time they had checked solely my brain, and those tumors are shrinking,” she shared after her latest doctor’s appointment. “And then today I had the scan where they checked my lungs, and they are shrinking, and one of them has shrunk so much you can barely even see it.”
While the accountability coach noted she isn’t cancer-free yet, she said her doctor told her, “Everything’s just heading the correct way.”
Her podcast co-host, Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge, reacted to the happy news on Instagram by commenting, “I can’t stop crying tears of joy. I love you so much.”
The good news comes several weeks after Teddi made her first red carpet appearance in L.A. since shaving her head for brain surgery back in February.
In honor of the positive update, keep reading to look back at Teddi’s sweetest family moments with her three kids.
