Teddi Mellencamp<\/a> opened up for the first time about a rumored affair with her horse trainer \u2015 and how it affected her family and her health. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The former \u201cReal Housewives of Beverly Hills\u201d cast mate spoke about her alleged infidelity during an appearance on \u201cThe Jamie Kern Lima Show.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never talked about it at all \u2015 just because of the kids,\u201d Mellencamp said during the interview, which was released Tuesday. Mellencamp, who was married at the time, shares three children with her now-ex-husband, Edwin Arroyave.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cAnd I\u2019ve never wanted anybody to have a, you know, a guarantee whether it happened or didn\u2019t happen,\u201d the reality star said. \u201cBut what I can say is: Did I do things that hurt other people? Yes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cTo this day, does it still hurt my heart and I wonder if that\u2019s why I got cancer?\u201d Mellencamp said, as she began to cry. \u201cYes. Like it was my payback.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cNothing goes without payment, I guess,\u201d she said, adding that she was \u201cso broken as a human being during that part of my life that I did things out of my better judgment.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

During the vulnerable interview, Mellencamp also spoke about her ex-husband\u2019s infidelity, which came to light just before she and her family starred on \u201cThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The podcaster said her husband was unfaithful with someone that she knew and that she had to \u201cbeg Edwin to wanna stay with me.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think he was in love with me at that point. I think we\u2019ve gone through times in our marriage where we\u2019ve been madly in love with each other, but that wasn\u2019t one of those times,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd there was a while that I thought maybe I\u2019ll leave, and then it got better.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cAfter a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,\u201d she said at the time. \u201cMy priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
