Kelly Dodd may no longer be part of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” cast, but she’s kicking the reality TV drama into overdrive anyway … and directing her ire at Braunwyn Windham-Burke.
As we told you, both ladies will not be returning for the new season of ‘RHOC,’ and Kelly is placing the blame for that squarely on her former castmate … and not pulling any punches.
She just shared a recent text exchange with Braunwyn that started with Braunwyn checking in on her — something Kelly described as “audacity” — and then Kelly responded by going off on her for their ousting from the show.
According to Kelly … if Braunwyn “didn’t make things so dark and ugly and brought all that political “woke” BS” to the show, she believes they’d still be on it. Kelly also says Braunwyn calling her a racist and homophobe was “horribly destructive.”
Kelly’s attack on Braunwyn is apparently in response to Braunwyn going on a podcast and addressing the 2 of them — along with Elizabeth Lyn Vargas — not being invited back for the next season.
Kelly wrote … “She said she was fired from the show because we all didn’t like her because she’s gay. Not because she’s a horrible person. Not because she treated everyone like s**t and made no effort to be friends with us.”
Then Kelly went really hard, calling Braunwyn a “terrible mother,” “horrible person to her husband” … and a “f***ing nut job classic narcissist!”
We listened to the podcast, and while Braunwyn did say Kelly has made a lot of controversial comments and admits “the two of us were diametrically opposed on social justice issues” … she also called her “the most interesting person on the cast” and added, “Kelly does have a good heart underneath it all.”
The audacity!!!
We spoke to a production source who was adamant, telling us Dodd was not let go from the show because of the storyline around Braunwyn or her sexuality — but the source would not specify what did trigger Dodd’s departure.
We reached out to Braunwyn for comment … so far, no word back.
