Kelly Dodd has something to say to all the ‘hateful bloggers’ who write about her on their blogs following her exit from The Real Housewives of Orange County.
The controversial reality star shared a video clip via Instagram where she addressed the topic.
“I wake up every morning to another Google alert from some hateful tea bloggers. There’s so many tea bloggers and it’s the same dumb rhetoric about me that I’m racist, a transphobic, homophobe, and it’s nonsense it’s ridiculous already.”
She continued, “You wish I was crying myself to sleep every night but I’m not okay – look where I’m at, I’m in Cabo San Lucas and I’m headed to the Bahamas today and look – I’m living my best life, so excited about the opportunities coming my way.”
She added, “I realize you hateful bloggers have a hard time with me being happy but I’m not gonna stop being happy so maybe perhaps you should write about someone else because there’s a million other people to write about”
In the post, she captioned, “Dear Bloggers, I won’t apologize for not being miserable ! You write the same BS day after day… why are you so obsessed ? Find some new material and leave me alone, or don’t. I’m still gonna keep having the time of my life while you stay jealous and angry. Bye ! And thanks @camillawithlove for my beautiful outfit I absolutely love it !!!! It’s Tea 🍵 bloggers not teen !! They’re idiots.”
