Teddi Mellencamp tells her “Two Ts In a Pod” co-host Tamra Judge that she actually spent a lot of time researching possible answers for the Diana Jenkins lip-licking thing. “I really think it’s a nervous tick,” Mellencamp says. “And that’s her tell. Like my tell is that my chest is going to get bright red like whenever I have to have a conversation I don’t want to have when I’m on camera, things are awkward.” She adds that it may just be editing, but it feels like Jenkins is licking her lips constantly, now. “I know, that’s what I’m saying,” Judge agrees. “I can’t even listen to what she’s saying because I’m concentrating on her licking her lips.”
Mellencamp actually might not be far off. According to Healthline, excessive lip-licking could be due to anxiety or nervousness. Then again, Healthline also notes that environmental factors, autoimmune disorders, and some medications can also cause lips to dry out excessively. We may never know the truth until Jenkins herself addresses it —if she ever does.
