Teddi Mellencamp shared a video as she shaved her head to prepare for surgery, before Kyle Richards, Morgan Wade and her ex Edwin Arroyave surrounded her in the hospital. Meanwhile, Tamra Judge, Edwin and Andy Cohen revealed their prayers for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star.
On February 12, Teddi told fans that doctors found multiple tumors on her brain after she started having severe headaches. That day, she was preparing for surgery to remove two of them. In the past few years, Teddi has been treated for skin cancer.
Before yesterday’s surgery, Teddi shared a video as a woman shaved her head.
“Love you babe. You got this,” said the woman, in a clip shared by @byewighellodrama on Instagram.
Later on in the hospital bed, Teddi joked that she and her brother will have a contest to see “who wore [the haircut] best.”
In another video “10 minutes” before the surgery, Teddi showed everyone who came to her hospital room. Kyle and Morgan were at the side of her bed, while her ex Edwin was nearby on the couch. Kyle jokingly asked if she could have her “old extensions.”
“No,” Teddi joked back. “I already gave those out. Sorry.”
On her Instagram, Kyle also shared a photo and video with Teddi at the hospital.

That same day, Tamra wrote a post of support for her friend and podcast co-host.
“Join me in praying for @teddimellencamp as she goes into surgery today. Please also pray over her beautiful kids,” she said. “Teddi Jo, I love you so much and can’t imagine my life without you—you’re the little sister I never had and the best friend anyone could ask for. Sending all the love, positive vibes, and healing energy your way. ❤️🙏.”
Edwin also shared his own prayer for Teddi.
“Lord, I lift up @teddimellencamp to You. You are the Great Healer, and I ask for Your healing touch upon her body,” he wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of him leaning toward her at the hospital bed. “Restore her strength, renew her spirit, and let her feel Your comforting presence. Grant her peace, hope, and full recovery.”
On Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen shared that Teddi’s “Bravo family” is praying for her and “sending you all our love.”
“You are so strong,” he said. “We love you.”
