AceShowbiz - Teddi Mellencamp is reportedly "scared" of the actions her estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, may take to "look good" in their divorce. According to a source, Arroyave is "determined to come out on top" and is willing to do whatever it takes to maintain custody of their children.
Mellencamp's fears stem from her alleged affair with horse trainer Simon Schroeder, which became public knowledge on Wednesday. The source claims that the former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star is apprehensive about the potential repercussions and believes Arroyave is willing to exploit the situation to his advantage.
Meanwhile, a separate source denies that Arroyave is trying to bring Mellencamp down. Instead, they emphasize his desire to keep the matter amicable for their family.
Reports indicate that Mellencamp and Schroeder's alleged liaison began in May, with the pair even traveling to Florida for an equestrian event while Schroeder's wife, Karli Postel, was giving birth to their second child in California. The affair apparently continued behind Postel's back, leading to a confrontation when Postel found incriminating text messages between the two.
"They confessed. Teddi promised it would not happen again," a source revealed to the Daily Mail. However, this promise was broken, which eventually led Postel to inform Arroyave about the affair, prompting Mellencamp to file for divorce.
Mellencamp's somewhat ironic position when she commented on TikToker Makenna Gibbons, who was cheated on by her husband, also drew criticism. Just days before her own scandal emerged, Mellencamp had discussed Gibbons' marital woes on her "Popping Off" podcast. This perceived hypocrisy was not lost on fans who were quick to call her out on social media.
In the midst of this turmoil, Mellencamp is bracing for divorce battle after estranged husband Arroyave responded by filing his own dissolution request a week later. The divorce saga reflected the intense scrutiny faced by reality TV stars when their personal lives intersect with their public personas.
