Elizabeth Lyn Vargas is coming to Kelly Dodd's defense after the controversial Real Housewives of Orange County star received backlash on social media for her COVID-19 comments.
“Everybody has an opinion, and frankly … I’m disappointed in the fact that no one understands Kelly which is…fine,” Elizabeth began in the video, according to a report by Reality Blurb. “Kelly has her own point of view. Why are you judging her? We all have our opinions; why are you judging her for hers?”
Vicki Gunvalson, who is not in a good place with Dodd commented on the post, which was captured and shared by Comments By Bravo. The OG of the OC simply responded by saying, “Idiot,” slamming the newcomer.“I’m not insensitive,” she said at the time. “I feel bad for all the families that lost loved ones, and I do think that we should all stay home and protect everybody. That’s not what I meant, and I want to apologize to anyone who got offended, OK? I’m sorry.”
In May, Dodd apologized again for another insensitive comment she made about the pandemic.
Dodd then compared coronavirus to “the flu” and added, “But how many people die on a daily basis? … Well, people are going to die! I’m sorry to tell ya.”
