Speaking with Tamra Judge on their shared podcast "Two Ts In A Pod," Teddi provided context regarding her dad's comments about her cancer battle.

"My dad went on [the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast] and told everybody I was suffering. Now, I’ve been in, like, a doozy of a situation of so many people messaging me," she said.

Teddi's clarification arrives just days after her dad's comments sparked a firestorm and made headlines.

On the "Joe Rogan Experience" show, John told the controversial podcaster that Teddi's cancer is "not f-cking fun" before saying she's "got cancer in the brain, and she's suffering right now."

The rock legend said Teddi is "really sick" and implied she was facing an uphill battle.

While chatting with Judge, Teddi acknowledged that her dad is likely very "concerned" about her well-being, noting that he calls "every single day."

"He wants to make sure, you know, like, he’s doing the best everybody’s doing," Teddi said. "But I mean, he’s not wrong. I’ve definitely, I mean, I have been suffering. I have been crying a lot. I’ve been super emotional. I’ve even had, like, a support group."

During another episode of her podcast, Teddi revealed that she'd been attending "therapy" ahead of the one-year anniversary of her cancer diagnosis. She also shared that therapy had been helping her deal with her "massive PTSD."

"[The PTSD was] from everything that happened," she said. "I didn’t really realize it, so I’m starting to feel a little better. The cloud is lifting."

In an interview with Us Weekly, the Bravo veteran opened up about how arduous battling cancer has been for her and her family.

"I’m fighting for my life, but also for my family’s life and all the people I love," she said. "[My kids] all know that I’m fighting the hardest I possibly can, but I haven’t said [‘moms always come back’ to them] because I don’t want to lie to them. And I don’t know."

Mellencamp explained that she's also had to learn how to process what her body is going through. "Everybody wants me to be super positive all the time. One of my coping mechanisms is being sarcastic," she said. "I’d rather joke about it and have the best possible outcome than be completely in denial and have my heart broken."

According to an earlier report from The Blast, "Jersey Shore" star Snooki is also grappling with frightening health issues.

In a TikTok video, the veteran reality star and mother of three discussed abnormal pap smears necessitating an "uncomfortable" medical procedure to get to the root of the issue.

After her procedure, a doctor discovered "cancerous cells on the top of my cervix," Snooki said before revealing the results left her "terrified."

"It’s scary, but we have to get it done because cervical cancer is nothing to joke about," she said.

At another point in her video, Snooki became extremely emotional while revealing she may need to undergo a hysterectomy—a surgical procedure that removes one's uterus.

She later said that while she was saddened by the news, she wanted to prioritize spreading awareness to as many people as possible.

"Just making this video to spread awareness to make sure you get your pap smears. And if your doctor calls you to do it again, do it," she said. "Make sure you’re fine and prevent all the bad things that could happen, like cervical cancer."

"Being a woman is not easy and this is definitely a scary thing. I know I’m going to be fine," she added. "It's just scary."
