Teddi Mellencamp Addresses Potential RHOBH Return Amid Cancer Battle
Originally appeared on E! Online
Reality TV isn't at the top of '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."
I have an update. So, in exciting news, last time they had checked solely my brain, and those tumors are shrinking.
'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.'
When the former Bravolebrity, 43, asked her doctor whether she was cancer-free, he told her no but said 'everything's just heading the correct way.'

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.

And while Shi may be the latest to try out a new title, she isn't the only one of her siblings to go by a new name professionally. (Angelina and Brad are also parents to Maddox, 23, Zahara, 20, Pax, 21, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.)Last May, Vivienne, who worked as a producer's assistant for The Outsiders, was listed as 'Vivienne Jolie' in the Playbill.

"My daughter Viv loves theater," Angelina told Deadline last June. "She appreciates all theater, but she certainly knows what she feels close to and what she responds to." Angelina noted that Vivienne found working on The Outsiders to be a 'very different experience of understanding." 'This is having a significant effect on her as a young person right now,' Angelina explained, 'and she's communicating something to me, and that is the power of this material. And then I had the privilege of watching everyone work over this last year to make it into what it is, and Vivienne has been there the whole way.' Despite her daughters' recent forays into the spotlight, Angelina has said they much prefer their privacy. 'None of my children want to be in front of the camera at this time,' she told Good Morning America in November. 'They're quite private.' And the Maleficent actress emphasized that Shi, specifically, was 'extremely' private among her siblings. 'They weren't born with privacy, right?' Angelina posited.

Faster Pussycat frontman Taime Downe breaks silence on fiancée's mysterious cruise ship death
Taime Downe has broken his silence. The Faster Pussycat frontman opened up about his fiancée Kimberly Burch's death for the first time since she plunged over the side of a cruise ship following an alleged argument with the '80s glam rocker on March 2. 'It's a roller coaster,' Downe, 60, said during SiriusXM's 'Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk' on Friday, May 30. 'I'm hanging in there. I'm just taking it a day at a time.' 6 Faster Pussycat frontman Taime Downe has broken his silence on his fiancée's mysterious cruise ship death. Instagram/Kimberly Burch 'And everybody thought going out on the road and doing what I do and being with my family in my band would be good for me,' he continued. 'So I've taken their advice and I'm doing this. We're going out with some cool bands.' Downe and Burch, 56, were onboard a Royal Caribbean ship called Explorer of the Seas for an '80s-themed cruise where Faster Pussycat was performing alongside other bands like Men at Work, Squeeze and Tiffany. But on the first night of the seven-day voyage, Burch fell to her death while the ship was out to sea between Miami and the Bahamas. 6 Kimberly Burch plunged over the side of a cruise ship on March 2. burchkimberly/Instagram Burch's mother told TMZ that the tragedy happened shortly after her daughter and Downe got into a 'heated' argument and that Burch had been drinking shortly before falling overboard. Downe added that his fiancée's shocking death was 'alcohol and prescription-related' during his interview with Trunk. 'So I blame alcohol and pills on it,' he said. 'There's no way I'd touch booze. For me, that's just completely disgusting in my brain, you know what I mean?' 6 Burch shared this social media post shortly before plunging overboard. Instagram/Kimberly Burch 'So I've got some hatred for booze, 'cause I loved the hell out of Kimberly, and it was just hard to deal with,' the 'House of Pain' singer continued. 'We spent basically nine years together.' 'This is just heavy s–t,' Downe added, 'and I'm just looking forward to playing shows and having fun.' While the 'Poison Ivy' vocalist said that 'it is what it is,' he also admitted that it's 'good to talk about it' three months after his fiancée's disappearance and death. 6 The couple was together for around six years before Burch's shocking disappearance and death. Instagram/Kimberly Burch 'It's good to talk about it. It's good to talk about it with my friends, my close-knit friends,' he said. 'But I don't really wanna talk about it with strangers, 'cause it doesn't seem appropriate.' 'It is what it is,' Downe added. A video of the incident, which has since been obtained by investigators, reportedly showed Burch climbing the cruise ship's railing before plunging off. It is still unclear whether she purposely jumped or accidentally fell. 6 'I loved the hell out of Kimberly,' Towne said of his late fiancée. Instagram/Kimberly Burch Her body was never recovered. Her brother, Keith, exclusively told The Post in March that his family is 'lost' without Burch. 'We feel lost … We have no answers at all,' he said.

Former DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg co-leads $15.5M Series A for AI video ad platform
DreamWorks co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg's venture fund WndrCo co-led a $15.5 million Series A round for Creatify, an AI video ad platform. Creatify's AdMax platform uses AI to quickly generate dozens of video advertisements, which are geared toward social media marketing -- AdMax analyzes high-performing social video campaigns on apps like TikTok and Instagram to shape its output. Tech industry titans have been bullish on AI advertising. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently spoke about his ambitions to automate all of advertising with an AI ad tool, which would test thousands of ads on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads users. This degree of automation may seem drastic, but it is not a foregone conclusion. While Katzenberg has been an entertainment industry executive since before DVDs were invented, his bets are not always correct -- he was also the founder of Quibi, the short video platform that infamously raised $1.75 billion and shut down six months later.
