Kyle Richards finally reveals why she had explosive street row with dogwalker alongside Teddi Mellencamp
Kyle Richards has finally revealed why she had an explosive street row with a dog walker earlier this month which was captured in a shock viral video. The reality star, 43, was seen confronting a woman while walking with Teddi Mellencamp, with the dogwalker tossing her scarf aside and charging straight at her. Teddi, who is battling stage 4 cancer, bravely stepped in, standing between Kyle and the enraged woman, preventing things from spiraling out of control. The chaos escalated with the woman yelling until a security guard intervened, and the situation only settled when she crossed the street with her dogs. Richards told TMZ: 'As she was crossing the street she was dragging the dog. The leash was wrapped tight around his neck and she was dragging it, I chased her and said, 'don't drag your dog like that'. I was not hiding behind Teddi 'She was following me and was clearly trying to be aggressive with me and I was documenting it incase she did.' This nerve-wracking showdown had come on the heels of a painful update from Teddi, who shared that her stage 4 melanoma had spread, with four new tumors discovered in her brain and lungs. The 43-year-old star, who has undergone extensive treatment, posted heartbreaking side-by-side photos showing her transformation. One photo captured her blonde, glowing appearance, while the other showed her with a close-cropped, semi-bald head after months of radiation and immunotherapy. She captioned the post: 'What a difference 4 months makes.' In Wednesday's caption, she continued, 'Sometimes I am so focused on "being strong" that I forget I am allowed to be sad, cry it out, and feel very alone.' She added, 'I love my kids, friends, and family so much and am forever grateful to them but dang, today is one of those days.' And the Two T's In A Pod podcaster tried to be a source of support for others having a similarly hard time. 'If you are having a bad day where you can't wait for it to be bedtime so you can start over tomorrow,We are not alone,' she noted. The message concluded, 'PS. I have watched Netflix and Hulu, what do I watch next? #overyoucancer.' Mellencamp also took to her Instagram Stories, where she recorded herself on her daily walk with friends Kyle and Jennifer Leipart. Teddi's battle with cancer began in 2022 when she was first diagnosed with melanoma. After enduring the devastating effects of brain tumors for months, she finally sought medical help. She has already undergone more than 20 surgeries and continues to be candid about her physical changes. With the battle now more severe, Teddi has had to prepare her children — daughters Slate, 12, Dove, 5, and son Cruz, 10 — for what she fears may be the worst. Amid all this, Teddi's estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, has remained a pillar of support. Despite their separation, Arroyave has been all-in on helping Teddi through her health crisis. On Thursday's episode of The Eds Podcast, he revealed how he's putting aside their differences, stating, 'People think that's hard, but for me, that's just what I do. Last week Mellencamp revealed that her tumors — resulting from melanoma that had metastasized to her brain and lungs — have significantly shrunk, and doctors believe she is a few weeks away from being cancer free. 'I just finished with all of my scans, and my tumors have significantly shrunk, which doctors believe means that this all will work, and that I will be back to myself, and feeling good,' she shared in a video posted to her Instagram. Teddi — who previously revealed she was given a 'fifty-fifty' chance of survival — said that she has two more sessions of immunotherapy, adding, 'and then hopefully I am done, and I will be cancer free.'

Teddi Mellencamp says her father John already planning for her burial in wake of stage 4 cancer diagnosis
"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alumni Teddi Mellencamp revealed her father, singer John Mellencamp, has started planning her burial amid her stage 4 cancer diagnosis. Mellencamp opened up on Tuesday's episode of her podcast, " Two T's In A Pod," hosted with Tamra Judge of "The Real Housewives of Orange County." "Yesterday my dad calls 11 times in a row … he goes, 'I just want to make sure that you're going to be in our group family mausoleum,'" Mellencamp said, noting the mausoleum is in Indiana. "I said 'I have kids, so where are they going to go?' He's like, 'Well there's going to be the top five and then we're going to have little areas around it and then that's where everyone's going to get buried,'" she explained. "I said, 'Do I need to make this commitment right now?' And he said, 'Well, you're doing your will right now so you may as well put it in there.'" Teddi Mellencamp, 43, shares three kids with her husband Edwin Arroyave, who she filed for divorce from in November. The star announced earlier this month her skin cancer has reached Stage 4. She said doctors found tumors on her lungs and brain that required surgical intervention this year. 'They found four or five more tumors in my brain, and then I have two in my lungs, one in each side. But the radiation does nothing for the lungs. That's solely for the brain,' Mellencamp explained on the Tuesday episode. Mellencamp said her father has been calling her often, and the talk about burial preparations came after she expressed she was annoyed about an Instagram user saying she was on a "death walk." She recalled telling her father, "This is a reminder, I don't want to be a vegetable. I'm good to fight, fight, fight." He in turn responded, "I'm going to be in charge of that!" 'Either way I think I agreed to be in the mausoleum," Mellencamp said. She joked on the show that she would have "hot girls never die" engraved on her tomb. The podcast host shared photos on Instagram Wednesday showing the difference in her hair over the course of four months. One side showed her hair long and the second her hair cropped short with the back of her head shaved. 'Sometimes I am so focused on 'being strong' that I forget I am allowed to be sad, cry it out, and feel very alone. I love my kids, friends, and family so much and am forever grateful to them but dang today is one of those days,' she wrote. 'If you are having a day where you can't wait for it to be bedtime so you can start over tomorrow leave me a ❤️ We are not alone.' Back in February, Mellencamp told fans that she required emergency brain surgery after scans uncovered multiple tumors. She later said that the melanoma she was diagnosed with in 2022 had metastasized.

Teddi Mellencamp Wants To Visit Her Grave As Funeral Plans Commence Amid Cancer Battle
Teddi Mellencamp's dad, John Mellencamp, is determined to give his daughter a befitting farewell should things take a drastic turn. The reality star revealed her dad has commenced funeral plans to ensure her life is well celebrated if she dies from her ongoing battle with cancer. Teddi Mellencamp updated her fans about her cancer progression earlier in the month, noting that it is now a stage 4 illness. In a recent episode of her podcast, "Two T's In A Pod," Teddi shared a rather morbid yet candid conversation with her father. She recounted how he called her 11 times in a row, prompting her to finally pick up while she was relaxing in the bath. During the call, he raised the unusual topic of their family mausoleum, expressing a desire to ensure she would be included in it. Teddi also reflected on her father's thoughts about accommodating her three children—Slate, Cruz, and Dove, suggesting there would be enough space for them alongside the immediate family. As the conversation unfolded, Teddi inquired whether she needed to decide on this matter soon, to which her father responded that since she was currently working on her will, she might as well include it. Teddi humorously agreed to her father's proposition and told her co-host, Tamra Judge, that she would need to visit Indiana to see her grave. She lightheartedly joked about wanting the phrase "hot girls never die" inscribed on her tombstone. As shared by The Blast, Teddi's challenging battle with melanoma recently worsened when doctors informed her that the cancer had metastasized to her brain and lungs. On March 26, she shared that she received more devastating news: an emergency MRI revealed four additional small tumors on her brain. Despite her cancer reaching stage 4 and the daunting prognosis, Mellencamp remains positive and determined to fight. On April 2, she updated her fans via a video on Instagram, expressing her gratitude for their support and highlighting the mixed emotions she experienced. While she often feels strong, there are days when she feels sad and alone, which she acknowledges as a normal part of dealing with stage 4 cancer. In her words: "Stage 4 cancer can be scary." Numerous reactions trailed Teddi's announcement. In the heat of the moment, Mellencamp addressed a comment from a fan on social media regarding her stage 4 melanoma diagnosis. The fan had expressed concern about the low survival rate of the cancer, highlighting the terminal nature of such a diagnosis, especially with metastasis. Although the fan's intention was to be supportive, Teddi found the comment distressing. She shared the comment on her Instagram Stories, voicing her sadness. The reality star emphasized that while she is aware of the statistics, she firmly believes she will overcome the illness. Teddi further expressed her hope to witness her children graduate and mentioned her plans to continue being her lively self, even if it means causing a bit of annoyance to her family and friends. Teddi has received immense support from her father, John, during her battle with multiple brain tumors following her recent surgery, The Blast previously reported. Despite their past estrangement, John has stepped up to be a source of strength for his daughter. Since beginning her health journey, he has been consistently by her side, demonstrating his commitment and love. A source has described John as a "super dad," highlighting how he immediately rushed to support her in her time of need. His presence has been vital as Teddi navigates this challenging situation while caring for her three children. Her father is deeply committed to providing Teddi with the best care possible during her recovery. While he wished he could take away her suffering, his main priority is to be a comforting presence by her side. John, at 73, is reportedly deeply emotional about his daughter's health, referring to her as his "baby girl" despite her being a mother herself. He reportedly strives to remain a steady source of support for Teddi, even as he feels the weight of her suffering. Before her major surgery, he faced understandable fear but kept an upbeat demeanor, reassuring her that everything would be fine. Witnessing Teddi endure significant pain after her surgery has also been hard for him. In her first podcast episode since the operation, Teddi shared her journey, highlighting her father's immense support as a vital source of encouragement during her painful experience. One fact is undeniable: Teddi Mellencamp is well-loved by her inner circle.
