Kelly Dodd Denies She Was Fired From The Real Housewives Of Orange County!

Kelly Dodd is hitting back at claims that Bravo has fired her from The Real Housewives of Orange County amid Vanderpump Rules firing scandal. According to The Blast, Dodd began replying to fans in the comment section of a recent Instagram post, where she assured fans that she has not been fired from the series.

"Heard you were fired from hw [housewives]," a fan wrote, to which Kelly replied, "from whom? I'm not!"

After another fan stated, "I hope you aren't fired you ARE the show Queen," she responded, "I'm not fired... why is this being said.. if I was I would say I was fired.. thank you for your lovely support."

Fans of the series have accused Dodd of being "insensitive" and "tone-deaf" for comments she made throughout the Coronavirus pandemic.

Firing rumors about Dodd came after Schroeder and Doute came under fire earlier this month after former SURver Faith Stowers revealed they falsely accused her of committing a crime in 2018.

“There was this article on Daily Mail where there was an African American lady. It was a weird photo, so she looked very light-skinned and had these different, weird tattoos. They showcased her, and I guess this woman was robbing people. And they called the cops and said it was me,” Stowers recalled via Instagram Live. “It was just funny, because they thought it was me because it was a black woman with a weave. So they just assumed it would be me, and they called the cops on me.”

Both Schroeder and Doute released public apologies to Stowers on Sunday, June 7.

“What I did to Faith was wrong. I apologize and I do not expect forgiveness,” the Next Level Basic author, who also lost several brand deals and was dropped by her PR company, wrote via Instagram. “I am also sorry to anyone else that feels disappointed in me. I am going to continue to look closer at myself and my actions – to take the time to listen, to learn, and to take accountability for my own privilege.”

Meanwhile, Doute wrote that her “actions were not racially driven,” but she “now completely aware of how my privilege blinded me from the reality of law enforcement’s treatment of the black community, and how dangerous my actions could have been to her.”

Variety reported that Stassi’s agency, UTA, and her public relations firm, Metro Public Relations, have dropped her because of her actions toward Stowers. Fuse Literary, Doute’s book agency, has also cut ties with her.

Schroeder and Doute were both fired from Vanderpump Rules on Tuesday, June 9, after eight seasons alongside with Season 8 newbies Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni. The newcomers faced backlash earlier this year when their old racist and homophobic tweets resurfaced.

“Bravo and Evolution Media confirmed today that Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni will not be returning to Vanderpump Rules,” the network said in a statement.

Stassi and Kristen have been on Vanderpump Rules since Season 1. Max and Brett joined Vanderpump Rules for the current Season 8.
