Mellencamp, who promotes herself as a certified nutrition and wellness coach, presumably uploaded the videos to showcase her workout routine and physical condition. Still, viewers instead paid attention to her facial expressions and camera angles.

The former TV personality centered the camera on her breasts while making a pouty expression, with viewers pointing out that it was far from a face someone undergoing a demanding workout would make while exercising.
“What’s wrong with her mouth? Stuck?” a netizen asked. “She’s losing it.”
“Whoa. On that exercise bike, she has that ‘scary skinny psychotic’ look,” another stated. “The crazy eyes, the non-existent thigh muscles with the huge thigh gap, the blank expression.”

Others focused on the controversy surrounding her marriage, accusing her of being a “home-wrecker” due to the fact that her alleged lover, Simon Schröder, had his own wife, Karli Postel, who was pregnant with their second child while the affair unfolded.

According to the DailyMail, Postel discovered incriminating text messages that led her to confront both parties, who confessed to their infidelity, with Mellencamp reportedly promising to end it.

The 43-year-old announced her separation on November 2, with a statement posted on her Instagram that read: “After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce.”
“My priority is my children, and I will ensure that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter.”
Mellencamp shares three kids with her ex-husband: Slate, Cruz, and Dove Arroyane. The model was also a stepmother to Bella Arroyane, Edwin’s daughter from a previous marriage.

As of this writing, the divorce has allegedly turned contentious, with Mellencamp requesting primary custody of the children and spousal support, with Arroyave allowed only visitation rights.

Despite Mellencamp’s attempts to move forward, her social media is still littered with user messages attacking her character. The latest example is a video of her promoting a skin care cream, where a follower wrote: “Teddi, Teddi, Teddi. You messed up. No one is interested anymore.”
