Teddi Mellencamp Spills All on ‘RHOBH’ Exit: Who Reached Out, Whether She’ll Be a ‘Friend’ and More

Teddi Mellencamp’s final gift to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans? All the behind-the-scenes details of her exit. The 39-year-old accountability coach took to Instagram to answer questions on Thursday, September 24, after she announced she wasn’t asked back for season 11 of the Bravo series. “I did see all of your messages saying, ‘Why did you turn commenting off on your last Housewives post? We wanted to say thank you or we wanted to ask you a question or we wanted to reach out and see how you’re doing,' Teddi began via her Instagram Stories on Thursday. She went on to admit that she gets her “feelings hurt” from “time to time” but was ready to tackle their questions. “Anything that takes up so much of your life becomes something that you’re going to miss,” she admitted. “That being said, I do think I was living like one foot in, one foot out on the rest of my life. … I’m not bitter, but I’m trying to answer your questions the best way I can.” [jwplayer 7WbLtfEO-l3ahXupL] Amid reports that Teddi was fired from the show because she was boring on Tuesday, September 22, she confirmed that her contract wasn't picked up. “I don’t want to bore you but I figured I got to give you a little update on what’s going on. I recently found out that my contract as a Housewife is not being renewed,” she said on Tuesday. “I could give you the standard response of ‘Oh, we both came to the decision that it would be best …’ Nah, I’m not gonna do that. That’s not who I am. … It feels like a breakup.” Andy Cohen, for his part, commended Teddi’s honesty on his Radio Show on Wednesday, September 23. “Teddi Mellencamp released what I thought was one of the most no BS I’m leaving announcements on record,” he said. “I thought that was really good. … She's an accountability coach, so she checked herself. ... Everyone has just been through it. There are not many people for whom this year has been a good year.” Scroll through for more from Teddi:

The Signs

Teddi admitted that she “had an idea” when “all of these magical memories we had as a family that were filmed were completely not shown” during season 10 that something was “up” with her role on the show.

Will She Be a ‘Friend’?

“Of course I’ve been asked that,” she replied about having a part-time role on the series. “I’m really trying to figure out what’s best for me and next steps and my family and work and all the things. So I never say never about anything, but I’ll just have to see.”

Who Has Reached Out?

“Nobody really knows what to say. Of course it’s like, ‘I can’t believe this, I’m so sorry, this is so crazy this is happening,’” Teddi explained. “But I truly know in my heart that all of the real friendships will continue on show or no show.”

Teddi added that she speaks to Erika Jayne, Lisa Rinna and Kyle Richards "almost every day.”

She went on to give shout-outs to all of her former castmates — except for Denise Richards. “Dorit [Kemsley] was so incredible when it came to all the kids that went down with my kids this year. Same with Sutton [Stracke]. Garcelle [Beauvais] reached out.”

Spinoff Tease

“We’ll just have to see about that won’t we,” Teddi replied to a fan’s inquiry about a spinoff series.

Her Friendship With Kyle

“I can’t even put into words what an amazing friend Kyle is and how much I love her family and our friendship,” she said. “And how crazy it is that we met on a reality television show.”

On Producers

Teddi shut down a question about producers forcing her to bring up Denise’s alleged relationship with Brandi Glanville at the cast dinner in Rome. 

“I’m a grown person. I’m pretty sure no one can make you do anything," she said. "It was told to me on camera, along with things about me. Y’all know what the show is about.”
