'RHOC’ alum Kelly Dodd asks fans to stop sending her messages about the show
In the same Instagram video, Kelly Dodd requested her followers to refrain from inundating her with messages about the Bravo show 'Real Housewives of Orange County.'
"I don't want to be a part of that. I'm enjoying my life, so God bless everybody," she concluded.
For those of you who are unaware, let us share with you, that Kelly became part of the franchise during its eleventh season in 2016 and remained until the conclusion of the fifteenth season in 2021 before bidding farewell.
Why did Kelly Dodd quit ‘RHOC’ after Season 15?
Kelly Dodd was dismissed from the popular 'RHOC' franchise due to her inappropriate jokes and criticism of Covid mask mandates, which were deemed to be politically incorrect.
During her appearance on the Unpopular Podcast, Dodd brought up the interesting point that despite their run-ins with the law and subsequent convictions, Teresa Giudice, Gina Kirschenheiter, and Jen Shah have still managed to maintain their presence within the franchise.
"What pisses me off is you have Teresa Giudice. Her and her husband were crooks, point blank. They went to prison for it. They got caught," she said.
Dodd further added, "'And maybe she didn't know. Let's just say for a fact she didn't. She went to prison. She didn't get fired. As a matter of fact, that's their [Bravo's] darling, right?"
In 2015, Giudice found herself serving a sentence of almost a year at Danbury Federal Correctional Institution. This came about as a result of her admission of guilt to a multitude of fraud charges, which she had committed alongside her former spouse, Joe Giudice.
She continued, "Then you have Gina Kirschenheiter. DUI. Didn't get fired. Didn't get in trouble. Kept her on. That Jen Shah, the Erika Jaynes."
Erika Jayne, although she has not faced any criminal charges, has found herself embroiled in numerous legal battles following the disbarment and allegations against her estranged spouse, Tom Girardi, for mishandling the funds intended for clients' settlements.
At the beginning of 2019, Gina found herself in a distressing situation as she was apprehended and detained overnight due to her involvement in an unfortunate incident. Subsequently, she admitted culpability, acknowledging her wrongdoing, particularly driving while under the influence of alcohol.
