The reality star went on to explain why she has chosen to remain silent amid the speculation surrounding her marriage.
“I have decided to not pander to the media and tell my side because in the big scheme of things [clickbait] means nothing and of course 3 sides to every story,” she added.
“How I can stand up and show up for the people that do does [mean something]. This is called being an adult. This is what saying it with my full chest means.”
She ended the post with: “Comments are on ❤️☮️🤣,” after the public slammed her for switching them off after her divorce was announced.

Teddi’s Divorce
On November 2, Mellencamp made the announcement on social media, telling her 1 million followers that she’d made the decision to file.
“After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,” Teddi said. “My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter.”
“Making a public statement is not something I wanted to do, but in an effort to protect my family from undue speculation and rumors, I felt being open, honest and vulnerable was the best path forward,” she added.
Teddi, 43, did not share any details about what led to the split. Edwin, 47, has not yet commented on the news.
Teddi and Edwin married in 2011. The former couple have welcomed three children together: Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 4. Teddi is also a stepmom to Arroyave’s daughter, Isabella, 15, from a previous marriage.
