Kelly Dodd from The Real Housewives of Orange County absolutely despises cancel culture. Naturally, she's not staying quiet about that fact. For the most part, Real Housewives fans are over Kelly and want her to get the boot.
Bravo lovers are truly torn about what should happen to Kelly Dodd, who is a mother of one. Many feel she should have learned her lesson by now. However, she's now married to Rick Leventhal and she has started to drink even more of the right-wing Kool-Aid. The network will have to make a tough decision soon, and its leaders may decide that The Real Housewives of Orange County star Kelly Dodd is not a worthy Bravo representative.
Kelly is no stranger to voicing her usually obnoxious and unsympathetic opinions, and this time is no different. Many fans have grown weary of the reality star's insulting attitude. Some RHOC viewers have petitioned the network, asking Bravo to let her go. There are RHOC fans who have gone as far as to boycott the current season of The Real Housewives of Orange County. The unofficial @Realhousewivesfranchise Instagram account shared a video where Kelly Dodd slams fans by saying, “It’s all speculation and completely absurd. They are saying that our ratings are down slightly due to my antics and that people are boycotting me. What? Fan boys?” Check out the video here:
The series has not done as well as in previous seasons. In fact, ratings were reportedly down 25 percent. Many Bravo fans believe it is due to Kelly’s obnoxious behavior. They think she lacks concern for anyone else around her. Fans will recall that she mocked the Black Lives Matter Movement by wearing a “Drunk Wives Matter” hat to her bachelorette party. She has also said (more than once) that the coronavirus is nothing to fear and that it is, “God’s way of thinning the herd.” While Kelly blamed the election and the show’s timeslot for the dip in ratings, she conveniently ignored her own bad attitude and the fact that it's become a real issue. Kelly even addressed the idea of the network trying to fire her saying, “I don’t have your opinion so you’re writing bullsh*t articles about me. This is America, in case you didn’t know, and I’m allowed to have my opinion. And if it doesn’t fit your narrative, then you’re going to try to cancel me.”
While Kelly does have a point when she says that she is entitled to her freedom of speech, many argue that her lack of awareness is concerning. For the most part. Bravo viewers worry that the LGBTQ+ community and African-American community will turn away from the network if it keeps Kelly around. Will Bravo get rid of Kelly to save its reputation?
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Wednesday at 9 pm EST on Bravo.
