Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave Has Something To Say To Those Who Criticized Her Runway Walk At NYFW!

Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave has taken to her Instagram page ti fight back at online haters who made fun of her runway walk. If you recall, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star walked in Kyle Richards' first fashion show at New York Fashion Week and memes of her walk went viral all over social media.

So how does Teddi feel about the memes and criticism? "Last weekend I had the opportunity to walk in a fashion show during NYFW. Now, I am no model— I can barely walk down the street properly— but I walked out there feeling good and excited to support my friend," she wrote.

"That quickly shifted when I was hit with the barrage of memes and insta comments throwing negativity at me and my walk. I can definitely make fun of myself and am in on most jokes but sometimes it just gets to be too much."

She continued: "So I had a big ole cry and felt truly embarrassed— until I remembered this @brenebrown quote: “If you aren’t in the arena getting your ass kicked, I’m not interested in your feedback.” And you know what, I am so damn proud of myself for having the courage to step out of my comfort zone, especially at 15-weeks pregnant in a flesh-colored bodysuit, and do my very best."

She added: "We cannot control other’s actions, we can only control our own. So now, I’m just gonna smile brighter and keep on strutting. 💕Shoutout to @kylerichards18 for absolutely killing it with @kyleandshahida! Such an amazing accomplishment 💕 #nyfw #babyonboard #bucketlist"
