On Wednesday, September 23, Cohen reacted to the statement that Mellencamp released on Instagram where she confirmed her departure ahead of season 11.
Cohen pointed out how she “checked herself” in her “no BS” address, according to a report by Us Weekly. Then, Cohen clarified that Mellencamp’s exit is not related to the recent scandal surrounding her All In by Teddi weight loss program, which drew backlash for its strict and controversial guidelines.
“People are speculating that the online chatter about her business led to her dismissal. I just want to say, because I think it’s important, that one had absolutely nothing to do with the other,” he said on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live on his Radio Andy channel. “I actually would have liked to see her respond to her critics on the show.”
Cohen continued, “I know nothing, by the way, about her business. But I will say that Jeff Lewis and [his] team … I was tuning in the other day [to Jeff’s SiriusXM show, Jeff Lewis Live], and they were talking about [All In by Teddi]. I remember them saying they went through the All In program and they did not have bad things to say about it. I think they said they were hungry, but [Jeff] said that that program taught him how to order food in restaurants.”
Cohen wrapped up by saying that he wished Mellencamp “well” in her next chapter.
