Career

In addition to formerly starring on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills", Mellencamp is the founder and owner of "All In by Teddi", a lifestyle and fitness company. The company's program has attracted criticism for its lack of transparency and medical supervision, untrained health coaches, and extreme weight loss methods. One of the key criticisms is that the program and menu are the same for everyone who signs up, with a strict meal plan that reportedly involves consuming fewer than 700 calories per day. Subscribers' failure to adhere to the plan, as well as evidence of weight gain, results in immediate dismissal from the program without the chance of a refund (with few exceptions). Mellencamp co-hosts a weekly Bravo-centric podcast titled ''Two T's in a Pod'' with fellow reality television personality Tamra Judge; the current podcast evolved from ''Teddi Tea Pod,'' which covered trends, entertainment, family life and current events. In 2022, Mellencamp was the first HouseGuest to be evicted on the third season of ''
