While some celebrities are admitting to taking the diabetes drug Ozempic to lose weight, others are learning to embrace their bodies as is. When former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave shared the two photos below, of her flaunting her abs in a black bustier crop top, she wrote: “It’s all in the angle.”
As seen above, on the left, the 41-year-old’s abs look taut; on the right, you can see loose skin around her belly button, which is common for women who have had children. Mellencamp (daughter of famous singer/artist John Mellencamp) is the mother of three children.
The reality TV star is also a Certified Nutrition/Wellness Coach & Trainer. So her thoughts about body positivity resonate when she writes: “We all have our things we want to hide; but we all have our things that make us special. My loose skin is both; some days I want to change it and some days I embrace what it means to my health journey and carrying my babies. So next time you see a post and want to compare yourself, DON’T. Because nobody is perfect and nobody compares to what makes you unique.”
Mellencamp’s fans and famous friends are showering her with praise. Real Housewives of Dallas star Steph Hollman replied: “Gorgeous in both pics” with a fire emoji. Real Housewives of Orange County star Emily Simpson also dropped a fire and applauding emoji.
Vanderpump Rules star Stassi Schroeder empathized: “Ohhhhh teddi. Same. My bikini days are over.”
As seen above, Mellencamp’s bikini days are NOT over!
And for Stassi, she’s just wearing a different kind of bikini (see cute cutout swimsuit above).
