Kelly Dodd is opening up about her feud with Real Housewives of Orange County co-stars Shannon Beador, Tamra Judge and Vicki Gunvalson, who are known as the Tres Amigas. “Tamra just said that she never wants to talk to me ever again. And that’s fine, because I don’t ever want to talk to her again,” Kelly told Us Weekly, noting she “didn’t do anything to Tamra and Shannon.”
“They just became the Tres Amigas and kind of booted me out and it felt like they were antagonizing me and just coming after me. Like, throughout the whole season, I felt like I was getting picked on … ganged up on.” she continued. “And I’m not gonna put up with it anymore.”
Kelly admitted she is “glad” she is no longer close with Tamra, but reveals she is “sad” about her fallout with Shannon.
“Shannon and I were really close. And we did a lot of stuff off camera. She lived near me. Our kids are the same age. We talked on the phone all the time,” she explained. “I never did anything to Shannon. … She’s so far up Tamra’s ass that she just wants to be — she’s scared of Tamra. I think like she’s got Stockholm Syndrome.”
While she hopes her friendship with Shannon could be salvage, she revealed that she will “never, ever, ever” be friends with Vicki, who accused her of doing cocaine during the season 13 reunion, again.
“I will never be friends with Vicki again. … And I can promise that,” Kelly told Us Weekly. “Tamra and Shannon for four years said that they hated Vicki, they’ll never be friends with her again. Over and over again. I can promise you I will never be friends her.”
So how did Kelly react to Vicki's demotion? “I was, like, jumping up for joy!” Kelly said. “I think that she uses everybody as a story line. She doesn’t really have anything in her life. You know, her kids are gone, her grandkids are gone. It’s just her — what are we going to watch her and [fiancé] Steve [Lodge] drink wine on the couch? … All good things come to an end. And I think, you know, everyone was kind of sick of their story, money, Tamra and Vicki. So you know, I think it’s kind of time for them to go bye bye. I feel like, out with the old, in with the fresh. It’s stale, it’s getting stale.”
Kelly concluded that season 14 was “really hard” because of the “rumors and lies” spread about her.
“It’s about me, it’s not about anyone else — they use me as their story line And it’s all about lies, and it’s really bad. It’s all about me now. So you know, my daughter has to hear that and that’s not really good,” she told Us Weekly. “You’re gonna see how they say all these like negative things about me, lies and rumors about me. And then you’re going to see at the end of the things how it all clears up by itself. So I think the truth always, you know, comes out like they’re gonna look like, bullies.”
