Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp is blaming karma for her brain cancer. The 44-year-old Bravo reality star said Tuesday she has wondered if her stage 4 cancer battle is “payback” for her transgressions in her marriage to Edwin Arroyav. “Nothing goes without payment,” Mellencamp said on The Jamie Kern Lima Show. Mellencamp addressed rumors that she had an affair with horse trainer Simon Schroeder last year. “I’ve never talked about it at all, just because of the kids, and I’ve never wanted anybody to have a guarantee whether it happened or didn’t happen, but what I can say is, did I do things that hurt other people? Yes,” Mellencamp said, adding, “To this day, does it still hurt my heart and I wonder if that’s why it got cancer? Yes, like it was my payback.” The podcaster tied the knot to Arroyave back in 2011, welcoming three kids until filing for divorce in 2024. However, Mellencamp’s brain cancer diagnosis brought the divorce proceedings to a halt. Karli Postel, Simon Schroeder’s ex-wife, also filed for divorce last year after the alleged cheating. “I just want [Edwin] to be happy, and I want our kids to be happy... I don’t want to do anything to hurt him,” she said.
