Teddi Mellencamp, the reality star who’s built an empire out of both fitness coaching and stirring up drama on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has yet again found herself in the spotlight—not for her latest workout challenge or controversial take on health, but for something a bit more personal. This time, she’s opening up about her struggles with anxiety after filing for divorce from her husband, Edwin Arroyave, in November 2024, following 13 years of marriage.
It seems Teddi Mellencamp’s not just battling her usual dose of “motivational speaker” overreach, but also the fallout of her personal life. But of course, true to form, she’s made sure to share her vulnerability with the world. The 43-year-old took to Instagram to reveal she’d been waking up in the middle of the night with “raging anxiety,” reminding everyone she wasn’t seeking sympathy, just offering a little relatability for those who might also be going through the emotional chaos of a breakup—especially one that might involve a few more messy details than she’s letting on.
In her Instagram post, she mentioned common symptoms of anxiety, including trouble concentrating, heart palpitations, and a sense of impending doom—experiences that many can empathize with. She also gave some “helpful tips” on how to deal with it, which seem to include everything from meditation to a fresh dose of gratitude for her health, her kids, and the fact that she can still go back to work. Pretty standard fare for someone trying to look on the bright side—though we wonder if a little more self-reflection and less social media might be more beneficial.
And as always, Teddi’s quick to share her gratitude—though, this time, it’s not just for her kids or health but also for the fact that she “goes back to work today.” Maybe taking a little more time for actual healing would do her well, instead of jumping right back into the spotlight.

I'm confused, what does she mean by back to "work"? That was a rhetorical question; I really don't care.
Apparently her advice about how to handle this sort of thing isn't working for her.
Not a surprise given how silly so much of her advice is.
Why is this an article, she created it. She does not deserve any attention at all.
I reckon I’d have ‘raging anxiety’ too if I destroyed two families…? I will give her this, though, the woman has a pair of brass ones cuz the actual temerity to paint herself as a victim is something to behold, I tells ya! ?

I don't believe I've ever seen the words "I reckon" and "temerity" in the same sentence. Gosh Auntie Champs, you're a regular J.D. Vance!~

I love that movie
and you are the moral compass?
No, God’s WORD is. Does ‘thou shalt not commit adultery’ sound familiar to you or are you of the ‘do as thy will’ ilk? ? She, like all the rest of us sinners, can repent of her sin, bear God’s holy discipline with dignity, turn from her sinful ways and be forgiven thanks to Christ’s work at Calvary, and I hope she does. HOWEVER, you will know them by their fruits. ? I see rotten fruit of arrogance from this one given the enormity of her sin has yet to complete its ripple effect on TWO families, but keep cheering on the moral decay of society through enabling those who willfully participate in its erosion. ??
Well then maybe she shouldn't have slept with her daughter's trainer when his wife was pregnant and then while his wife was giving birth. There is NO grace given for this ever. Anxiety and panic attacks are serious and they're horrible to live through but this was self induced. Sorry Teddi.
I enjoy Teddi, I'd love to see her back on BH or even added to OC. Even Carlos King wants this. Anxiety is no joke. I think she is obviously doing her best to help with this and no cutting down her workload/Podcast won't help even though this would make some of you happy. Teddi needs to keep busy.
Not for nothing, but getting ‘busy’ is how she got in this mess in the first place. ? Nope, Teddi needs to repent, bear her reproach with humility, close her legs to married men and understand ‘busy’ as the acronym it has become to her and so many of her ilk. Busy = Being Under Satan’s Yoke.

She needed not to cheat is all. If she was done with this relationship she should have left. There would be more empathy for her that way.
1- we don't know the whole story. 2-are you really acting like you and then rest of these blog members are the moral compass?
oh please give me a break. She admitted it and are you actually defending CHEATING, because it sure sounds like it. I do have a moral compass about cheating, what is wrong with that? It’s a called decency and respect.
Yes it is. It's also called girl code.
Ah, I think you are Teddi or one her morons. If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Well you're not a moral compass either. If you mean, don't pass judgement…look sleeping with a married guy with a pregnant wife and sleeping with him while his wife is giving birth is kinda gross…yes?
