"I am being transparent with my journey," Mellencamp responded to the message. "Would you prefer I lie and pretend the loose skin on my neck disappeared?

That's not who I am. You want to only follow people that show themselves through a filtered version of themselves then I am not the person to follow." She continued: "(Btw, this has nothing to do with going all in on your life - I changed my life 7 years ago and am proud of that and will continue sharing and helping others achieve their goals)," continued Mellencamp, who then posed the question to her followers: "Do you appreciate me being open about my journey or would you rather I just pretend I did nothing?"
