Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave is the latest cast member to join The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Ahead of next week’s Season 8 premiere, Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave has confirmed her addition to the show and spoken out about her persona, her decision to join the Bravo TV reality show, and her new co-stars.

“I’m straightforward and I tell it like it is… and I love learning about everybody from different cultures, different lifestyles, whatever it is. How could I turn it down?” Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave said during an interview with People magazine on December 14.

According to Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, she’s established friendships with a number of the women, including Dorit Kemsley and Lisa Vanderpump, who reportedly made her first season of the show fun, easy, and comfortable.

While the newest member of the show said that she’s never been one to force a connection with someone for reality television or any other reason, she truly hit it off with Kyle Richards, who has been with the show since its start.

Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, the daughter of musician John Mellencamp, is a fitness buff and mother of two. She shares daughter Slate, 5, and son Cruz, 3, with her husband, Edwin Arroyave.

In addition to Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave joining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, a number of housewives from Season 7 are returning, including Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, Erika Girardi, and Dorit Kemsley, who joined the series last year as a friend of Vanderpump and her husband, Ken Todd.
