Teddi Mellencamp slams body-shamers after MTV Movie & TV Awards


Teddi Mellencamp told body-shamers she’s “proud” of her cellulite.

The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum, 40, posted a red carpet photo from the MTV Movie & TV Awards on Sunday showing her pink fringe dress from behind while addressing negative DMs.

“For anyone messaging me that I shouldn’t have worn this dress to @mtvawards because you can see my cellulite. Guess what?! I am proud of it and most of us have it,” the former Bravo personality wrote on Monday.

“Let’s normalize the reality,” Mellencamp continued. “I work hard to for my mental and physical body to feel good.”

The reality star concluded, “For those messaging that the outfit looks like I am auditioning for [“Dancing With the Stars”] — you aren’t wrong. It does ??? ?? .”

Mellencamp’s celeb pals supported her in the comments. “What cellulite?” Tamra Judge asked, while Jade Roper wrote, “Sexy AF. Get it girl.”

The “Celebrity Big Brother” alum initially considered a different outfit for the awards show, asking her followers to vote between the pink dress and a purple floral number.

When Mellencamp wrote that she “went with the pink,” Tori Spelling gushed about how “amazing” she looked. Dorit Kemsley commented with a fire emoji.

Mellencamp — who is the mother of daughter Slate, 9, son Cruz, 7, and daughter Dove, 2, with husband Edwin Arroyave — hasn’t shied away from clapping back at haters in the past.

The accountability coach got a neck lift in May and “everyone went crazy” over the procedure, she told Extra later that same month.

“There was way more positive than there was negative, but I kind of wanted to point out the negative because people continuously want to know all the details, but when you give them the details, they are upset about it,” she explained to the outlet.

Mellencamp went on to outline her goals to share “the good, the bad and the ugly” on social media despite trolls’ commentary.

The ALL IN by Teddi creator posted many photos from before and after her surgery, encouraging her followers to do whatever makes them feel “beautiful” and “happy.”
