RHOC’s Kelly Dodd insists she hasn’t been fired from Bravo show after controversial comments about Covid and BLM
Kelly Dodd has insisted she hasn't been fired from RHOC despite her controversial comments about Black Lives Matter and Covid.
The 45-year-old was slammed last year for wearing a "Drunk Wives Matter" hat and for claiming that coronavirus is "God's way of thinning the herd."
"It’s actually kinda funny... I’ve heard these rumors every year for the last five years," tweeted.
"Looking forward to my sixth season #RHOC 16!"
In April last year, Kelly claimed people who died from Covid would have "died anyway" with or without the virus.
"It's really sad to see you in that hat, so insensitive," shared one critic.
Andy claimed that he was getting messages saying that Kelly "was uneducated, putting out misinformation, and behaving like a moron" because she wants businesses to open up despite the increasing cases of Covid.
Kelly hit back: "I get them too, saying that you're Anti-American, that you put your political beliefs out there, that they don't want to watch a political show."
Andy then questioned Kelly, saying: "I'm Anti-American because I don't like Donald Trump?"
Kelly replied: "I get a ton of those, yeah!"
Andy was specifically talking about the fan hate that Kelly received after and at the beginning of the pandemic.
Kelly's stepdaughter, activist and social worker Veronica has called her out for her controversial views.
She said in an Instagram Live: "I don’t think it’s OK for people who say that they’ve experienced racism or prejudice to then turn around and inflict the same bigotry on other people.
