Teddi Mellencamp was none too pleased with Tamra Judge for outing her alleged one-night stand with Matt Damon.
“I could kill Tamra,” the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum jokes on Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast while promoting her #GetNaked campaign with the Melanoma Research Foundation.
“Don’t put me in jail, guys — because I didn’t!” she adds.
“She did that on live radio, and she’s like, ‘Payback’s a bitch,’” Mellencamp continues, explaining that Judge’s anecdote was retribution for “something [I did] to her at BravoCon, and she’s been dangling it over me, so I knew that at some point it was going to come.”
However, Mellencamp, 41, quips that the “Real Housewives of Orange County” star, 55, should have waited to share the story on their podcast, “Two Ts in a Pod” — and not on SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live.”
“I was like, ‘You should have waited and done it on our pod at least. You gave Jeff Lewis all this publicity,’” she says.
“But the part that was even more frustrating was the clickbait — not even that Tam outed me, but then [people] was saying that ‘Teddi claims that she blah, blah blah,’” Mellencamp elaborates.
“One, Teddi didn’t claim anything. She hasn’t even confirmed that this is fact!”
Last month, Judge forced Mellencamp to open up about her experience with the “Air” actor 20 years ago.
“She mentioned it on a podcast and then went back and told producers, ‘Take that guy’s name out,’” Judge told Lewis. “And so now, I tell people, ‘If you guys wanna know, just DM [me] and I’ll tell you who it is.’”

Mellencamp responded, “She tells people on the DMs. I’m like, ‘Stop telling people. I did not want to out this guy. Who knows?!”
The accountability coach then divulged that she snuck into a club with a fake ID at just 20 years old to meet the Hollywood hunk.
“He was probably 30 — 10 years older,” she said at the time. “I only slept with him one night. He didn’t get my number.”
Mellencamp confirms on “Virtual Reali-Tea” that she had a thing for actors in her 20s.
“I mean, I definitely went through a phase in the late ‘90s where I was like, ‘Are you an actor? Done,’” she tells us.
While the now-married mom of four — who shares Isabella, Cruz, Slate and Dove with her husband, Edwin Arroyave — is happy to move on from any more Matt Damon discussions, she hopes to shed a light on the dangers of skin cancer.
As the new face of the Melanoma Research Foundation’s #GetNaked campaign, melanoma survivor Mellencamp is urging fans to schedule regular skin checks with their dermatologists.
“I think when you get news like that, at first you’re really inward. I got turned down for life insurance. I remember being like, ‘What? Am I dying?’ [I was] really just in a negative headspace about it and kind of sad,” she says, recalling her October 2022 stage 2 melanoma diagnosis.
After announcing she was cancer-free in December, Mellencamp felt compelled to advocate for those who may be impacted by the disease.
“For me, it was so important because I never understood the magnitude of skin cancer and melanoma. I really didn’t,” she says.
“And then I realized, what can I do to help other people not make the same mistakes that I made?”
