Teddi Mellencamp Reveals Multiple Tumors Found on Her Brain

Los Angeles, CA — Teddi Mellencamp, a former star of the reality show ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,’ announced on Instagram that doctors discovered multiple tumors on her brain after she suffered severe headaches. The 43-year-old shared her diagnosis following a CT scan and MRI on February 12, stating that the tumors have likely been developing for at least six months.

“For the last several weeks, I’ve been dealing with severe and debilitating headaches. Yesterday the pain was unbearable and required hospitalization,” Mellencamp wrote. She added that two of the tumors would be surgically removed, while the remaining tumors would be treated with radiation at a later date.

In her Instagram updates, Mellencamp maintained a positive outlook, sharing moments with family and friends before her surgery. She humorously documented her pre-operative haircut, joking, “I didn’t have this look on my bucket list.” This light-hearted moment was captured just before she underwent the procedure.

Mellencamp also emphasized the importance of support, expressing gratitude for those around her. “I am blessed to be surrounded by my children, family, friends, doctors, nurses and surgeons who are doing everything possible to get me back into better health,” she wrote. Among her supporters was Kyle Richards, her co-star from the reality series.

This health scare comes shortly after Mellencamp shared insights about her previous battle with stage II skin cancer. In January 2024, she announced that her oncologist confirmed she no longer had lingering melanoma, a victory over her ongoing health challenges.

Previously, Mellencamp has been open about her medical struggles, communicating with her followers about the importance of early detection. She recently posted a reminder for skin checks as part of World Cancer Day, showcasing a scar from her previous surgeries.

While managing her health issues, Mellencamp continues to pursue her career as a lifestyle and wellness coach. She co-hosts the podcast ‘Two Ts in a Pod’ alongside fellow reality star Tamra Judge. Known for her connection to her father, rock singer John Mellencamp, Teddi remains a prominent figure in both reality television and health advocacy.
