Kelly Dodd continued to make headlines! The Real Housewives of Orange County star shared a message to stepdaughter Veronica Leventhal via social media after the 29-year-old publicly slammed the Bravo reality star for claiming she’s Black during Part 2 of the Season 15 reunion.
“We love you Veronica and we wish you would stop talking about us publicly. You won’t answer our calls. I have to resort to this tweet. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you,” Dodd tweeted on Sunday, February 7.
Dodd’s message comes after Veronica went on Instagram Live to address the controversy surrounding the Bravo reality star. Kelly was slammed for mocking the coronavirus pandemic on January 31. She also came under fire for claiming she’s Black during the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion.
“I don’t think it’s OK for people who say that they’ve experienced racism or prejudice to then turn around and inflict the same bigotry on other people. I don’t think you can experience the privileges of whiteness and then turn around and deny that those privileges exist,” Veronica explained via Instagram Live on Monday, February 1.
Dodd appeared to fire back at her stepdaughter in a since-deleted tweet, slamming her “stupid tree tattoo.”
Veronica also appeared on the “Shut Up Evan” podcast on Wednesday, February 3, where she further discussed her relationship with Dodd, according to a report by Us Weekly. She said she was “a huge Kelly Dodd fan” before the Real Housewives star started dating her dad, noting that she was very “warm” initially. She wished Dodd and Rick nothing but the best.
“I think they should have whatever they want,” Veronica said on the podcast. “If they want to be on the show and they want to keep going, then that’s what they should do because I’m not on the show. I clearly didn’t sign a release and I made that decision for myself, but I would never want to take away something that makes them happy.”
