Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave is more than her time on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The dedicated mom and fitness guru has been making serious career moves since her departure from the show, including mending ties with her former castmates.
She spoke exclusively with TheThings about her future in television and the serenity that’s partnered with less screen time. While one reality television door may have closed, she’s planning to open another one with her company.
An ALL IN TV Show
Do you see yourself reappearing on TV? If you do, what kind of show would it be?
“I’ve been developing a show based on All In actually. I would love to do something that’s helping others and using the platform to help change lives. I have a couple of other shows I would love to be a part of! They’re on my vision board.”
The lessons Mellencamp learned on Real Housewives might have ‘inspired’ online trolls to grace her with their oversaturated amount of assumptions, but those truly don’t bother her. When asked about the bottom-feeders, she showed zero sign of ill will.
She even said that everyone has a right to their opinion and she can’t allow herself to care about whether or not other people like her. Those typed-out spits of venom and spite don’t phase her in the slightest. They may seem like the loudest voices in the room, but that doesn’t mean they’re always worth hearing out.
Andy Cohen has said your IG story was the “most no-BS ‘I’m leaving’ announcement on record” Did he give you a reason behind their decision?
“I like to keep it real! No, he didn’t, but everything happens for a reason. I’m excited for what’s to come next! “
If there are no bridges going up in flames when it comes to her professional relationship with Cohen, does that mean the All In project could happen via Bravo? Cohen has connections across all boards of the industry, so this could become a bigger, even better, version of fitness reality shows that have yet to last on television.
In regards to the Housewives who refuse to acknowledge their contracts weren’t renewed? Mellencamp sees that lack of honesty as, “98% of them are playing loose with reality.”
