Teddi Mellencamp Rejects Dad's Cancer Move Plea

Teddi Mellencamp has publicly stated she will not relocate to Indiana at her father John Mellencamp's request. The former 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star is undergoing treatment for stage four cancer and prefers to recover in her Los Angeles home.

Mellencamp cited her children's schooling and her husband's presence in Los Angeles as primary reasons for staying put. Her father, musician John Mellencamp, had expressed a desire for her to move back to Indiana for a peaceful recovery and to be closer to him.

Although her father wanted her closer, Mellencamp receives daily calls from him and understands he wants to support her through her highs and lows. She even considers a move to South Carolina, where her sister lives, as a more appealing option than Indiana due to her dislike of cold weather.
