Teddi Mellencamp Reveals Heartbreaking Wig Decision Amid Cancer Battle

BBG News

Teddi Mellencamp recently posted a touching message expressing the dilemma of deciding between wearing a wig or embracing her shaved head, following the discovery of five additional tumors in her body, which was revealed only a few weeks after she had an emergency brain cancer surgery.

As a die-hard admirer, I couldn’t help but share my excitement when the renowned celebrity, at the age of 43, unveiled an intriguing transformation! She posted a side-by-side snapshot, one with a stunning blonde wig, and another showcasing her bold decision to go bald. What a thrill it was to witness this daring metamorphosis!

Teddi posed a question to her Instagram friends: “On certain days, you might feel like taking off your wig, and other days, not so much. If we’re going out for lunch together, should I wear the wig or leave it at home?

Last week, the star announced via an Instagram post that medical professionals found additional tumors – specifically, two in her lungs and three in her brain. She mentioned that she would promptly start undergoing immunotherapy and radiation therapy treatments.

The initial brain tumors were found in mid-February, after she suffered debilitating headaches. 

Teddi has been battling skin cancer since 2022.

Teddi posted an impressive selfie on her stories, showing that she’s working on a new podcast episode for her show “Two Ts in a Podcast” featuring Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge.

Performing the podcast without my usual hair style made me a bit emotional, yet I realized that for my first return, I wanted to present myself in my authentic form.

She shared a selfie with her wig and asked followers to vote if she should wear a wig or not.

The television personality, currently going through a divorce with her husband Edwin Arroyave, expressed optimism and enthusiasm, even amidst the sad news about their separation.

Mellencamp also clarified in an Instagram post, ‘These are all a direct result of my melanoma.’

She went on saying, ‘I’m optimistic about triumphing in this fight, I suit this bob cut better but could do without the bald patches, and I have no trouble recalling all of Angelina Jolie’s children’s names.’

Kyle Richards took to the comments to share a sweet message of support to Teddi. 

She commented, “You’re stunning regardless! I can’t imagine anyone else looking as radiant as you without hair!” Her remark gained countless likes.

Emily Simpson from Real Housewives of Orange County similarly posted a heartfelt message that reads: ‘Always putting on a show with my expressions.’

You have an absolutely stunning face. I love both looks. It doesn’t seem like you’re wearing a wig!

As a devoted admirer, I’d like to echo Braunwyn Windham-Burke’s sentiments from The Real Housewives of Orange County: “You exude beauty, and you carry an indomitable spirit. Embrace your natural hair with confidence!

Cynthia Bailey of Real Housewives wrote multiple hearts under the post – as did Larsa Pippen.

You look stunning from all perspectives! Your buzz cut is amazing – own it!”)

On February 12th, I took to my Instagram to share a heartfelt message about the health struggles I’ve been facing for quite some time now.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been grappling with intense, disabling headaches. The pain became excruciating yesterday, to the point that it necessitated a hospital visit, as stated by Mellencamp.

She mentioned that following a CT scan and MRI examination, the doctors discovered several brain tumors within her, suggesting that these tumors had likely been developing for around six months.

The reality TV personality went on to say, “Today, we’re going to take out two of the tumors through surgery. The smaller ones will be treated with radiation at a later time.

Mellencamp paid homage to her inner circle standing by her side amid her health crisis.

She expressed gratitude for being encompassed by her children, relatives, companions, medical professionals like doctors, nurses, and surgeons, who are sparing no effort to help improve her wellbeing.

She wrapped up in expressing her gratitude toward those who have supported her.

She expressed her gratitude to all who have contacted her, and to those who have been with her throughout this journey, she finished off by saying.
