Tamra Judge emotionally refused to give updates on Teddi Mellencamp’s health after she underwent brain tumor surgery.
“A lot of people are reaching out to me and they want me to get them an update,” the reality star tearfully said on her and Mellencamp’s “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast Wednesday.
“And because nobody’s saying anything, people are coming up with their own stories and things like that,” Judge continued.

“It’s not my place. What do you guys want me to do? Do you want me to take pictures from the hospital and post them? I’m not doing that.”
The “Real Housewives of Orange County” star said “some people are getting mean” about her not providing an update on her podcast co-host.
They’re “going, ‘Why won’t you give us an update?’ And I just said, ‘I’m so sorry. I know you’re concerned, but it’s not my place. It’s not my place,'” she shared on the podcast, which has been co-hosted by “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Dolores Catania as Mellencamp recovers.
“All I can do is pray on her and love her like all of her friends are doing. And that’s it.”
Judge said Mellencamp’s “family, her friends, myself, everybody — we’re just trying to put one foot in front of the other right now.”
The Vena CBD co-owner, 57, said she spoke to the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum, 43, “before her surgery and she really wants this podcast to continue.”
“It’s her pride and joy, and she’s so good at it, and she wants the momentum to keep going,” Judge told the listeners.
“And she just wants everybody to know that when she can get back, she’ll be back.”
On Feb. 12, Mellencamp, who was previously diagnosed with skin cancer, announced to her followers on Instagram that doctors found “multiple tumors” on her brain that had been growing for the last six months.
“Two of the tumors will be surgically removed today. The remaining smaller tumors will be dealt with via radiation at a later date,” she added.
Following the surgery, Mellencamp’s estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, said she was “grateful” for all the support she’s received.
