Transcript

00:00Teddy Mellencamp has a theory, or at least something

00:04that she is pondering about her cancer diagnosis.

00:08This is kind of dark, but you know, of course,

00:10that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star

00:13has been battling cancer and has been pretty open

00:16about her treatment and what she's going through.

00:18She was on a podcast this morning

00:20where she talked about why this might have happened to her.

00:23And I know cancer patients always sometimes go through this

00:26where they're just wondering, why me?

00:29Her reasoning, or at least what she thinks it might be,

00:32is kind of, I don't know, it's ominous.

00:37And it's clear she's going through stuff.

00:39You know what, I'm going to hold my tongue.

00:41Look, Brendan, do you have it?

00:43Let's play this.

00:44The horse trainer.

00:46Yeah, I've never talked about it at all

00:53just because of the kids.

00:55Did I do things that hurt other people?

01:00Yes.

01:03To this day, does it still hurt my heart?

01:05And I wonder if that's why I got cancer?

01:09Yes.

01:10I think it was my payback.

01:20So she doesn't say it, people who watch Real Housewives

01:26know that there was an alleged affair that was alleged

01:32that she had had an affair.

01:33Is that what she's saying?

01:35Is that what she's saying?

01:36I mean, she's clearly obviously alluding to it,

01:38but she doesn't directly say I had an affair.

01:41The reason I think it's because she said,

01:43I've never spoken about this because of the kids.

01:46To me, that seems like she is referring to that,

01:49that what we had said was an alleged affair.

01:51But this sounds like her saying something happened.

01:55This is even tough to talk about because, look,

02:00she's going through it and she's obviously really upset

02:03and she has a right to feel the way she feels.

02:06But this concept of you get a sick from karma,

02:11I mean, there's no basis for it.

02:14It's not why people get sick.

02:16But you understand that some people feel that way

02:19because of their religious beliefs, right?

02:21It all goes back to religion.

02:23It all goes back to religion.

02:25And, look, I grew up in a somewhat religious family,

02:30and I'll tell you, the older I got,

02:35the more as I questioned things,

02:38I just started thinking, what is this?

02:41And it's like people need a belief in something.

02:43But at a point, if the belief is rooted in fear,

02:48which a lot of religion is, I'm not going to get started,

02:52but I have just questioned the whole foundation

02:55of a lot of this stuff.

02:56And I know that a lot of people say, oh my God,

02:58that's sacrilegious, you're a heretic,

02:59and everything else.

03:00Well, maybe I am.

03:01But just over the years, it's like to be rooted

03:05in that kind of fear is no way to live.

03:07If the guilt was just about what's happened with her family,

03:13that I get, but to think that you have got cancer

03:16because of it.

03:17I mean, if you're a cancer, I would be offended

03:19if I had cancer and someone's, I don't know,

03:21it's a little to say, oh.

03:23Oh, you got it because.

03:24Yeah, I mean, it just feels a little bit insensitive.

03:26I know she's an actual patient.

03:27If she got it because, I mean, exactly.

03:30You take it to the next logical.

03:33It's a disease that millions of people suffer from.

03:34If she got it because she did something bad,

03:36so now does every cancer patient have to go like.

03:37They start thinking, oh, well, if she's right,

03:39what did I do?

03:40And it does, it goes right back to religion.

03:44And I will stop there.

03:45I'm Ashley from Las Vegas, and my heart breaks for Teddy.

03:50She has the stress of dealing with stage four cancer

03:53and young children, so to hold the weight of guilt

03:59from whatever form it comes from is more

04:01that she should be dealing with.

04:03She should be focused on her children,

04:06mostly her health, co-parenting with Edwin.

04:09But what it does is it diverts away from that

04:11because then you start beating yourself up

04:14rather than doing what you just said.

04:16So I'll tell you, religion can do a lot of damage.

04:23That's all I'm going to say.

04:24Enough said.
