“Real Housewives of Orange County” star Tamra Judge and “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Cynthia Bailey are sharing their support for “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum Teddi Mellencamp amid her cancer battle.
Bailey appeared on the March 10 episode of Judge and Mellencamp’s podcast “Two Ts In A Pod.” During the podcast episode, Judge noted that Mellencamp has been absent from the podcast after undergoing emergency surgery to remove brain tumors on February 12.
Judge also referenced that Mellencamp has kept her social media followers updated since her surgery.
“You know Teddi with her Instagram, she loves to post. And I wish she would be relaxing a little bit more because she’s starting treatment soon …. she can’t sit still. I’m like girl, relax a little bit. She’s the strongest girl I know,” said Judge on the podcast episode.
Bailey said that Mellencamp “find[s] the funny in everything,” even difficult situations. Judge then shared that Mellencamp, who was diagnosed with Stage II Melanoma in 2022, sent her a humorous text message when doctors discovered she had several brain tumors.
“I wish I could share the text message to me when she found out. I just went ‘Teddi! This is not something to joke about.’ But she finds a joke in everything,” said Judge during the podcast episode.
Bailey also shared that she is “sending [her] love and prayers to Teddi.”

Following her February 2025 surgery, Mellencamp underwent scans. On March 7, Mellencamp shared the results of the scans with her Instagram followers.
“I have multiple tumors in my brain that weren’t able to be removed via surgery. I also have 2 tumors in my lungs. These are all metastases of my melanoma. The doctors are hopeful that immunotherapy will effectively treat them,” wrote Mellencamp in her post’s caption.

Andy Cohen Reacted to Tamra Judge Possibly Quitting RHOC
TODAY reported that Judge uploaded an Instagram Story on March 10 that led fans to believe she quit RHOC while filming the show’s 19th season. According to the publication, Bravo producer Andy Cohen spoke about the situation on his radio program, “Andy Cohen Live.”
“I got the report of what happened last night. All I will say is this. I can’t comment on what’s going on while we’re filming shows,” said Cohen on the March 11 episode of his radio show.
He then seemed to reference Mellencamp’s health.
“The thing that is at the top of my mind is that one of her best friends, if not her best friend, is going through an incredibly intense health crisis, so maybe keep that in mind. Otherwise I really don’t have anything to say on the subject,” said Cohen.
