Kelly Dodd Sounds Off On Tamra Judge And Vicki Gunvalson’s RHOC Exits; Says “Everyone Is Expendable”

Kelly Dodd is reacting to Tamra Judge and Vicki Gunvalson's shocking exit from The Real Housewives of Orange County. Many fans of the series were left wondering what Dodd's thought about her co-stars' departures.

“Birthday Woman…. would you oblige us nosy people like myself with any comment on your two now former cast members announcing leaving the show? 😬” a follower wrote in response to one of Kelly’s Instagram posts the other day before wishing her a happy birthday, according to Reality Blurb.

Kelly replied, “everyone is expendable.. never think you are never going to be fired . I’m grateful that I have this job!! Now I think the show won’t be so dark and fun to watch”

Vicki announced that she would not be returning for season 15 of The Real Housewives of Orange County on Friday, January 24. Gunvalson told Us Weekly that she and Bravo were “unequally aligned,” which led to her departure.

"I will always be the OG of the OC, but it’s time to say goodbye to The Real Housewives of Orange County,” she wrote via Instagram. "It’s been an incredible ride for 14 years and I want thank all of you for your support, for your love and for ‘whooping it up’ with me along the way."

The next day, Judge announced that she was also not returning to the series after confirming that she was offered a limited role.

“It’s been a wild ride, and after all these years, I’m looking forward to life away from the cameras,” Judge told PEOPLE. “I was offered a chance to come back to the show in a limited role, but would prefer to walk away on my own terms.”

“Eddie and the my kids are very excited,” Judge adds of husband and her four children — sons Ryan Vieth (34), and Spencer Barney (19), and daughter Sydney Barney (21), and Sophia Barney (14).

“I want to thank all the fans who have offered me their support over the years,” she added. “It’s meant a lot.”

Judge also announced her exit from the series on Instagram as well. “I’m sad to go but I’m very excited about my future,” she wrote, captioning a photo of herself and Eddie.
