Teddi Mellencamp, a health and wellness coach who is battling stage 4 cancer, has accused her doctor of being "so rude" to deny her request to go on a GLP-1 when she gained weight from steroids during treatment for stage 4. This revelation came on the April 23 episode of the Real Housewives of New Jersey show. Dolores Catania, who also co-hosted the show, expressed surprise at the denial, but offered to join in when she took her first GLPA-1 dose the next day. Despite undergoing regular immunotherapy treatments for her cancer, despite being considered stage 4, doctors told her she had no trace of cancer in October 2025.
