Teddi Mellencamp Not Surprised By Jim Edmonds’ ‘Scare Tactic’ Amid Wedding Invite Drama!

Teddi Mellencamp wasn’t surprised by Jim Edmonds’ reaction after she mocked his wedding invitations on her podcast, ‘Two Ts In a Pod.’ Teddi made the comments alongside her guest, Jim’s ex, Meghan King. 

“I actually wasn’t shocked [by Jim’s behavior] because from everything that I saw of him on [Real Housewives of] Orange County, it kind of just played right into exactly who I thought he was,” Teddi, 41, told Us Weekly on Wednesday, about the husband of her former co-star.

“Take a joke,” the accountability coach added. “Meghan had nothing to do with it. She came in, I had just gotten sent it. I’m on a podcast where we talk crap. I mean, that’s what the podcast is. And, you know, this over-the-top invite came, and I saw it and made a joke of it.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum shared screenshots allegedly sent by the former MLB player after the airing of the July 28 episode of the podcast. Jim, 52, asked Teddi if Meghan was the person who gave her the invite. 

“She did not. I blindsided her. I got a dm with it,” Teddi replied, in the text exchange.

Jim pressed Teddi harder to reveal her source after she refused to spill who messaged her the invitation.

“Show me the DM without the person’s name on it then. I don’t believe anything that comes out my ex’s mouth, so how should I trust you?” Jim asked the podcaster. 

Teddi ripped into the former center fielder for his reaction, after sharing the texts, via Instagram, on Saturday.

“I think he likes to get his own way,” she said. “He uses a scare tactic in hopes that you’ll back down.” 

Teddi added—“The only thing I didn’t like was a man talking to a woman like that.” 

The text conversation revealed Jim calling Teddi “trash” and advising her to “clean up her own s—t” and “stop worrying about other people’s before it comes back to bite you in the ass.”

Jim’s rep, Steve Honig, commented in a statement to Us — “It’s unfortunate when someone’s livelihood is based almost entirely on talking poorly about other people. And it’s not a joke when you are on the receiving end.”

Meghan and Jim were married for seven years and share three children together. They finalized their divorce in May 2021. 

Jim and Kortnie O’Connor, a 37-year-old real estate agent, have been engaged since August 2021. The couple is set to tie the knot in Italy, in September.

The Celebrity Big Brother alum and Meghan, a former Orange County “Housewife,” made headlines after they publicly slammed Jim and Kortnie’s wedding invite.  

“I’m sorry, this is very cringe,” Teddi told Meghan during the podcast. “And I just have to [read] it. It says, ‘Ladies, be inspired by your favorite Bond girl. Gentleman: black tie or a white coat like James [Bond].’”

Meghan added — “OK, alright, I mean everyone has their different style. I mean, it’s implied [that Jim is James Bond here].”
