Teddi Mellencamp 'can't reveal Real Housewives salary'
The 44-year-old reality star was a cast member on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills between 2017 and 2020, but Teddi was always discouraged from discussing her salary.
During an appearance on The Jamie Kern Lima Show podcast, Teddi explained: "The longer that you're on The Housewives, the more money you're going to make.
"You know that there's a standard. You hit five years, you hit six years, you hit whatever it may be. I think there's that aspect to it too."
Asked if everyone gets paid the same amount based on their length of service, Teddi replied: "I'm not allowed to say."
Despite this, Teddi always had an inkling as to what her co-stars were being paid.
The reality star - who has Slate, 12, Cruz, ten, and Dove, five, with her estranged husband Edwin Arroyave - said: "I can say that all first season Housewives are paid the same.
"The people that say, 'Oh, I got offered $10 million to be on season one of the Real Housewives.' I'm like, 'No, you didn't. You didn't. No one did.' Season 1 Housewives, we were all paid the same."
Meanwhile, Teddi has insisted that she won't return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills amid her ongoing cancer battle.
The TV star - who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer earlier this year - explained that she wouldn't be able to commit to the TV show at this point in time, as she's focusing on her health.
She said: "I don't have the bandwidth for it right now. I'm not somebody who likes to do something when I can't be good at it."
Teddi's treatment has caused her some challenges with communication and she doesn't want to risk being misinterpreted.
Teddi said: "I feel like my words are a little stutter sometimes and it doesn't mean I'm telling a lie.
"Some people have to relearn to talk after having these surgeries that I had. The fact that I can do as much as I can do, I'm so blessed for. But it still happens to me, and some days are very bad."

Teddi Mellencamp battling 'severe anxiety' during cancer treatment
Teddi Mellencamp is battling "severe anxiety" during the latest stage of her cancer treatment. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 44, has been diagnosed with stage four melanoma which has spread to her brain and lungs and previously underwent surgery and radiation treatment before starting a course of immunotherapy and she's now revealed the sessions have left her feeling highly anxious for "no apparent reason". In a video posted on Instagram. Teddi said: "OK for those of y'all who've gone through immunotherapy, did you have severe anxiety? Just on random days for no apparent reason? "Like today I was able to walk, I did the [Two Ts in a Pod] podcast and now I'm just sitting here full of anxiety. Is this common? "What are things that you guys have done to help make you feel better? Let me know. Looking for any positive advice." During a previous appearance on her Two Ts in a Pod podcast, Teddi admitted she has been starting to struggle with the new treatment, saying: "Essentially, what we figured out with me was, yes, I started out feeling great, and I could do all the pods and I could do all these things, and I could go to all my daughter's horse shows and I could stay at my house by myself, and I felt really strong. "And what's happening with me is the longer that I'm on immunotherapy, the sicker it's making me." It comes after Teddi admitted her cancer battle would likely prevent her from returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, after previously appearing on the show from 2017 to 2020. Speaking on The Jamie Kern Lima Show podcast, Teddi said: "Yeah, no. I don't have the bandwidth for it right now. I'm not somebody who likes to do something when I can't be good at it." The star - who has children Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, five, with her estranged husband Edwin Arroyave - explained that the treatment she has received for the tumours in her brain has caused her some challenges with communication and she doesn't want to risk being misinterpreted. Teddi said: "I feel like my words are a little stutter sometimes and it doesn't mean I'm telling a lie. "Some people have to relearn to talk after having these surgeries that I had. The fact that I can do as much as I can do, I'm so blessed for. But it still happens to me, and some days are very bad." She added: "Some days, I'm just stumbling word over word. And I would hate to be on a show like that and somebody think that I was not being honest and really I was just struggling. And then them get the heat for it because how could you do that to someone that has cancer? "I don't think it would be the best for the cast, and it wouldn't be the best for me right now."

Teddi Mellencamp rules out The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills return amid cancer fight
Teddi Mellencamp doesn't plan to return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills amid her cancer battle. The 44-year-old reality star revealed that her stage four melanoma had spread to her brain and lungs earlier this year and says that her treatment for the disease means she would find it challenging to return to the show she featured on from 2017 to 2020. Speaking on The Jamie Kern Lima Show podcast, Teddi said: "Yeah, no. I don't have the bandwidth for it right now. I'm not somebody who likes to do something when I can't be good at it." The star - who has children Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, five, with her estranged husband Edwin Arroyave - explained that the treatment she has received for the tumours in her brain have caused her some challenges with communication and she doesn't want to risk being misinterpreted. Teddi said: "I feel like my words are a little stutter sometimes and it doesn't mean I'm telling a lie. "Some people have to relearn to talk after having these surgeries that I had. The fact that I can do as much as I can do, I'm so blessed for. But it still happens to me, and some days are very bad." She added: "Some days, I'm just stumbling word over word.

And then them get the heat for it because how could you do that to someone that has cancer? "I don't think it would be the best for the cast, and it wouldn't be the best for me right now." Teddi split from her husband Edwin last year and recently suggested that she feared her cancer is "payback" for the "hurt" she has caused "other people". The star explained: "I've never talked about it [the end of my marriage] at all, just because of the kids, and I've never wanted anybody to have a guarantee [of] whether it happened or didn't happen, but what I can say is: Did I do things that hurt other people? Yes. "To this day, does it still hurt my heart and I wonder if that's why it got cancer? Yes, like it was my payback. Nothing goes without payment, I guess."
