Kelly Doddis accusingBraunwyn Windham-Burkeof being the reason they are no longer a part ofReal Housewives of Orange County.
On Thursday, Dodd, 45, shared several screenshots on Instagram from an alleged text exchange she had with Windham-Burke, 43, after news of their exit from the franchise broke. Checking in on Dodd, Windham-Burke wrote: “I hope you’re okay, I know we’ve been through hell and back but I’m here.”
In response, Dodd told her former costar it was her “fault” they are no longer on the show before listing the reasons she believes they were let go.
“This was your fault. We’d still be on the show if you didn’t make things so dark and ugly and brought all that political ‘woke’ BS,” Dodd wrote, according to the screenshots. “Your lies about me, calling me a racist and a homophobe were horribly destructive and your phony storylines didn’t help either.”
Windham-Burke, who has been open about bothher sobrietyjourney andher sexuality, replied, “Well, I’m still sober and still gay, like I said if you ever want to talk I’m here.”
In the post’s caption, Dodd called out Windham-Burke for having “the audacity” to text her. “She went on a podcast. She said she was fired from the show because we all didn’t like her because she’s gay,” she wrote.
“Not because she’s a horrible person. Not because she treated everyone like shit and made no effort to be friends with us,” she continued. “Not because she went on a press tour and made horrible accusations about us calling all of us homophobes and racist, Not because she’s a terrible mother. Not because she’s a horrible person to her husband. The only reason she was fired is because she is gay. What a f—— nut job classic narcissist!”
