Now Kelly, 46, has added fuel to the flame by taking to Twitter to share her opinion regarding the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

The reality star wrote on the platform: “After 9-11 we didn’t ban planes. We secured the cockpits. Secure the schools,” inciting rage in fans.

FAN FURY

“You'd rather have schools look like prisons than reforming gun laws.. uhm ok. That wont traumatize the kids, to have constant reminders that adults have failed them,” one user shot back.

“After 9/11 we banned people bringing dangerous items onto planes. The same way we can ban people from accessing and carrying dangerous items that continue to kill people in schools so frequently,” a second wrote.

A third ranted: “Your lack of empathy and understanding is apparent. Did you not see the videos of the gunman in the school as police and security were too scared to go inside? There is no reason for automatic weapons. Have a simple gun and require a background check— what’s wrong with that?”

HORRIFIC SHOOTING

Kelly's arguable statement came just four days after 18-year-old former student Salvador Ramos shot and killed 19 children and two teachers at the Texas elementary school.

The attacker used a legally purchased AR-15 rifle to commit the violent murders within a single fourth-grade classroom.

Salvador was at large for an hour before authorities were able to catch him and stop him.

BODY-SHAMING

Most recently, the TV star faced backlash from fans for comparing her ex-co-star Emily Simpson to a character from Shrek.

After an episode of RHOC, she took to Instagram to share a collaged photo of Emily alongside Princess Fiona.

In the image, the TV personality sported a floor-length blue gown belted at the waist, with a deep v neckline and ruching at the shoulders.
