Teddi Mellencamp steps out after giving fans another shock update on her cancer battle

Daily Mail​15-05-2025

Teddi Mellencamp was seen for the first time after giving the latest shock update on her stage 4 cancer battle.
The 43-year-old Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star enjoyed a walk in Los Angeles on Thursday morning after sharing a positive update regarding her immunotherapy treatments.
The daughter of singer John Cougar Mellencamp was diagnosed with Stage 2 melanoma skin cancer in 2022, which was upgraded to Stage 4 earlier this year after suffering from numerous brain tumors.
She seemed in good spirits on her latest outing after revealing that some of her brain tumors have shrunk to the point where they could barely be seen.
Teddi looked ready for an active day out as she sported a clinging blue spaghetti strap top with orange leggings.
She also walked on the grass rocking a pair of Nike Air Presto sneakers during the solo workout session.
The Bravolebrity showcased her natural looks by going make-up free as she also decided to go wig-free by showing off her buzzed head.
Meanwhile, the reality star revealed in late April that the brain tumors have significantly shrunk and she's potentially just a few weeks away from being cancer-free.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star offered another update on her Two T's In a Pod podcast with Tamra Judge, where she called in from her actual immunotherapy appointment.
'Today I had the scan and where they checked my lungs and they are shrinking and one of them has shrunk so much you can barely even see it,' she said.
Her co-host Judge commented on her Instagram post that linked to their podcast, revealing she, 'can't stop crying tears of joy,' adding, 'I love you so much.'
Mellencamp added, 'So it's really really good news. I'm definitely so relieved. I'm also a little bit like, if I sound a little weird, it's because I'm in the middle of them in a therapy treatment right now. But what they said was this is good news. That means my body is responding to everything. But I do need to live on immunotherapy for the next two years.'
'So every four weeks for the next two years, I have to come in and get that done. So and then every three months I get another scan and we check to make sure that everything is where it is,' she added.
Teddi admitted she was a bit confused, adding, 'I thought that, like, once the tumors start going away, I'm like, so, does that mean I'm cancer free? And he's like no.'

'He's like you, we will let you know when you're in remission. But at this point, everything's just heading the correct way,' she added.
When Tamra asked if the immunotherapy was 'curing' the cancer or 'controlling' it, Mellencamp said, 'both.'
'It's making sure that it's getting smaller and then let's say that it gets so small that it disappears. It's making sure that it won't form anywhere else in my body,' she said.
She added, 'The reason they were able to do this treatment on me, because remember radiation didn't work and the tumors were getting bigger, and like I was only able to get certain surgeries is because over at Cedars Clinic.
'There is everything in one spot. So because of that, they can do multiple treatments and figure out what works for you individually. So I think what ends up happening to a lot of people,' Teddi said.
Teddi said that was one reason she is, 'so grateful that I live in California,' adding, 'they go to you know, they have to go to all these different doctors at different locations, where mine is kind of like a one stop shop.'
The update comes just a month after she said doctors gave her a 50/50 chance to survive her cancer.
'I am going to keep a positive outlook, because that's the way my doctor just spoke to me. He was like, "you did this. You got this."'
Toward the end, she added that her doctor had jokingly reassured her, 'You got that Mellencamp blood, so you're good.'
Teddi, who previously said she felt she was on her 'deathbed', was pictured smiling in the video, as she told her fans the positive news, admitting that the happy 'crying' was already done.

Annie Knight breaks down crying as she tearfully recalls horrific sexual assault ordeal: 'I started screaming'

Annie Knight broke down in tears on Tuesday as she recounted the horrifying moment she was allegedly assaulted by a male sex worker. The OnlyFans creator, 27, shared a video to TikTok explaining she was filming a collaboration video when her scene partner began to 'push her down'. Knight said the accused ignored the 'boundaries' she put in place before filming began, and would not allow her to get up when she tried to leave the situation. 'I literally can't believe what happened. Sorry. Give me a second, I'm just going to calm down,' Knight cried as she began her video. She went on to say she was filming a sex scene with someone who was a 'verified creator' but new and unknown in the industry. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'We were filming the scene. I very clearly laid down my boundaries about what I'm okay with. I told him I didn't want restraining of any kind,' she said. 'We get down to filming and straight away he is doing things I told him I don't want to do. 'I've been in a similar position before where I was like enough is enough and I pushed him off me and left. 'This time was different because I asked him multiple times to stop and he didn't.' Knight broke down in tears again as she said: 'So I was trying to get him off me and the more I was pushing him, the more he kept pushing me down... I couldn't get up.' Thankfully, Knight said she had a security guard waiting in another room as she had hired a two-bedroom apartment to film the content in. The male content creator was apparently unaware Knight had security, so the alleged assault was stopped when Knight 'screamed' for help. 'Luckily I had a security guard next door because I am so scared of this exact situation happening,' she said. 'When I started screaming, thankfully, I had someone who came in and got this guy off me.' Knight went on to caution other sex workers to 'please be safe' and 'make sure you always have someone close by' for protection. 'I was so naive in thinking that because I've been doing this for so long now that this kind of thing doesn't happen,' Knight continued. 'It is so ridiculous that I thought that, but I am so lucky I still had a security guard close by just in case.' Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Knight for further comment. Knight shot to fame online in recent years for sharing videos detailing her experiences as a sex worker. She has also received a slew of media attention for her various sex challenges, the most recent of which left her hospitalised when she slept with 583 men in a day. Professionally dubbed as 'Australia's Most Sexually Active Woman', Knight has said she earns up to $3.5 million a year on OnlyFans for her X-rated content. She also recently announced her engagement to Henry Brayshaw, son of sports commentator James Brayshaw.

Eva Longoria complains about ICE deportations and LA raids from her Spanish home after quitting 'dystopian' US

Eva Longoria went on a passionate message about the ongoing violence stemming from the demonstrations in Southern California - from what appeared to be the comfort of her Spanish mansion. Longoria, 50, spoke about the issue to her 10.6 million Instagram followers in an extended clip on Tuesday, admitting that while she was not physically in Los Angeles, her heart was with everyone impacted by the ongoing events. The stunning star - who played the role of Gabrielle Solis over 180 episodes of the popular ABC series Desperate Housewives from 2004–2012 - was seated in a room that appeared to be from her Spain home. Longoria said the unfolding events were 'hard to witness from afar. 'I can't imagine what it's like to be in Los Angeles right now,' the Corpus Christi, Texas-born star added. 'I can't believe it's happening in Austin, Texas. I can't believe it's happening all over the country. 'And the comments and people's reactions to it is really so surprising to me because it is un-American.' The Mexican-American actress said she was in the state of shock watching the events unfold, saying it went against the basic tenets America's forefathers laid out. 'We all can agree nobody wants criminals in our country, nobody wants rapists, nobody wants drug dealers, nobody wants bad actors in our country - that's not what's happening,' said the Golden Globe-nominated actress. Longoria said that President Donald Trump was overreaching in his actions, and had not stayed true to his campaign promise to deport only criminals. 'These roundups are happening in birthday parties, in elementary graduations, Home Depots - those are not criminals,' she said.

Sherri Shepherd FINALLY reveals star who allegedly grabbed her in confrontation at Denzel Washington's Othello

Sherri Shepherd is revealing the identity of the actress who allegedly accosted her at the opening night performance of Broadway's Othello back in March. The 58-year-old actress and comedian previously claimed earlier in March on her eponymous daytime talk show that an 'unnamed celebrity' had allegedly grabbed her arm and whipped her around to confront her over 'shady' comments they said she had made about them. However, the play's opening night — which stars Denzel Washington as Shakespeare's title character and Jake Gyllenhaal as Iago — provided cover for the unnamed actress, as there were plenty of stars in the audience, including Jennifer Lopez and Angela Bassett. But Shepherd claimed during a Breakfast Club interview on Tuesday that the woman who physically confronted her nearly three months earlier was the actress Nia Long, 54. Representatives for Long and Shepherd haven't yet responded to request for comment. 'It was Nia Long. I don't know who [she] had me confused with,' Sherri alleged. 'The only time I've ever talked about Nia is when she went through with her partner [when] there was infidelity.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Breakfast Club (@breakfastclubam) She was referring to a 2022 scandal in which Long's then-fiancé Ime Udoka, a former NBA player who was then the head coach of the Boston Celtics, was revealed to have had an affair with a female employee of the Celtics association. The team announced he was to be suspended for the entirety of the 2022–2023 season over the inappropriate relationship, and Long later criticized the Celtics for allegedly never contacting her to see how she was holding up after the team publicly confirmed her partner's affair. Shepherd said on Tuesday that she 'supported' Long's position during the infidelity ordeal, and she added that Long 'deserves to have a good man to be with her.' 'I have no idea who she thought was shading her, but it was not me,' she continued. 'I have no beef with Nia. I'm a fan of hers.' When Shepherd first revealed the negative with an actress, she said being grabbed and castigated in public left her feeling 'upset,' but she claimed she offered to meet with Long in the women's bathroom at intermission to hash out their differences. However, she allegedly waited 15 minutes in the restroom without Long ever showing up. 'You don't get to pull me and turn me around like we're in a doggone cartoon and then walk away,' Shepherd said on The Breakfast Club. But when she was asked why she would make public claims that could stir up more controversy for her, Shepherd said that coming clean also benefited her professionally. She clarified that she didn't initially mention Long's name, and said the other stars at opening night made it difficult to single out any star. But Shepherd said her other career as a stand-up comic benefits from the buzzy confrontation. 'Everything that happens in my life is material for me. And my stage, my comedy stage, is the talk show,' she explained. 'So I got on stage and I just talked about it, and I said, "You know, this happened."' She reiterated that she had invited Long on her talk show to discuss what had upset the actress, and she insisted that she doesn't 'like to tear down people.' 'I honestly was just confused,' the 30 Rock actress continued. 'And I also don't like when you touch me and you pull at me. I don't like that. She grabbed me and spun me around. '[But] I'm cool. I'm so cool. It's done,' she added. 'I would love to talk to her and just clear it up.' When Long was initially wrapped up in her former fiancé's cheating scandal, she was publicly supported by several celebrity friends, including Snoop Dogg, Community star Yvette Nicole Brown and the sports journalist and political commentator Jemele Hill. Long shares a 13-year-old son, Kez, with her ex Udoka, and she also has a 24-year-old son, Massai Zhivago Dorsey II, whom she shares with her ex, the actor Massai Z Dorsey, whom she dated from 1999 to 2001. The couple were engaged for 10 months before going their separate ways.
