For Teddi Mellencamp, childhood discipline came with a star-studded audience.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum recently shared a memory that still makes her laugh.
She talked about the time her famous father, John Mellencamp, grounded her while Sean Penn and Madonna lived in their house.
“I was riding my bike to ride horses and he said, ‘Okay, you’ll be back in three hours.’ And I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll be back in three hours.'” Teddi explained. Six hours later, she saw her father’s car peel into the stables and knew she was in trouble.
The real sting came later in the evening.
“He got me in the car and didn’t say a word to me, and all I could think about was that my bike is still in the barn. I didn’t think that once we were at dinner with Sean Penn and Madonna, he was going to keep my birthday away.”
The 44-year-old reality star did not specify exactly when the incident happened, but Penn and Madonna were married between 1985 and 1989.
The story resurfaced during her exit interview from season 14 onwards The Masked Singerwhere she competed as Calla Lily.
Teddi confirmed that the tale was true.
