Teddi Mellencamp debates wearing ‘wig or no wig’ amid brain tumor journey



To wig or not to wig.

Teddi Mellencamp is asking fans which hairstyle they prefer after she shaved her hair off while battling brain tumors.

On Wednesday, Mellencamp, 43, shared a collage on Instagram with two selfies featuring full glam makeup — one wearing her natural brunette buzzcut and the other with a blond, straight wig that resembled her previous look.

“Some days you feel like a wig, some days you don’t,” she shared in her caption.

Mellencamp then asked her followers for their opinions, writing, “You’re my bestie and we’re going to lunch… am I coming wig or no wig?”

Last month, the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star had four tumors removed from her brain.

But just a few days following her hospital release, the reality star revealed on Instagram that doctors discovered five more tumors in her body, including three in her brain and two in her lungs — “direct results,” she says, of her previous melanoma.

Her comments were absolutely filled with support from both fans and friends.

“Gorgeous either way!” her former co-star and BFF Kyle Richards said. “I don’t know anybody who could look as beautiful as you with a shaved head!”

“Real Housewives of New Jersey” alum Jackie Goldschneider also chimed in: “Your face is flawless. Both ways are gorgeous. No wig probably!!”

“Beautiful both ways ❤️❤️,’ added actress Tracy Bregman.

Earlier that day, Mellencamp took to her Instagram Stories to share how she felt after filming the first return episode of her and co-star Tamra Judge’s podcast, “Two Ts In A Pod,” without a wig on.

“Doing a pod with no hair made me a little emotional,” she wrote over a stunning buzzcut selfie. “But figured for the first one back I needed to be fully me.”

She also gave a shoutout to her nutrition coach and makeup artist, tagging the two and writing, “Thank you for always helping me look and feel my best ❤️.”

Following her short hair snap, Mellencamp then posted a picture of herself in the same blond wig to her Instagram Story with a poll for fans to vote on: “Wear a wig” or “No wig.”

88% of voters chose no wig, encouraging the reality star to embrace her natural beauty.

Meanwhile, podcast co-host and BFF Tamra left the “RHOC” cast trip early amid reports that she’s “unstable” over Teddi’s health struggles.
