Former “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Vicki Gunvalson took a jab at her enemy Kelly Dodd amid her growing scandal.
Vicki, the woman who launched “RHOC”, reposted a meme that showed a photo of Tamra Judge, Gretchen Rossi, Heather Dubrow, and herself. The old photo shows the former Housewives looking fabulous in fancy dresses. The photo was placed next to a recent photo of the current cast members. The caption of the meme was “Chanel vs. Yard Sale.”
She captioned the meme, “Gotta laugh at this.” One follower wrote, “I miss you, Gretchen and Tamra together in good times. This hot mess they have on RHOC is a joke. I feel bad for Shannon. She has to pretend to be interested! No woo hoo that’s for sure or tres amigas!!!.”

Vicki’s shade comes as Kelly is catching heat (rightfully so) for wearing an insensitive hat that mocked the Black Lives Matter movement.
Kelly wore a hat the read “Drunk Wives Matter” at her bridal shower over the weekend. The reality star posted a ton of photos from the event which was attended by the “Real Housewives of Orange County” cast and Kelly’s fiancé/Fox News correspondent Rick Leventhal.
“RHOC” fans immediately started dragging Kelly for her hat. Many pleaded with Bravo to take action against Kelly for her continued ignorance.
One wrote, “Bravo, Jax & Kelly Dodd are everything wrong with this country. Continuing to employ them sends the message u don’t care. It’s one thing to employ villains, they are necessary. But keeping racists, homophobes, & COVID deniers is unacceptable. Do the right thing.”
“Really @RHOC_KellyDodd ??? "Drunk Lives Matter". You are disgusting. Black ppl are murdered bc of their skin color & you turn it into a joke?? You don't need anymore exposure on TV. You need to crawl back under the bridge with all your racists friends.,” said one fan.
Is that what you stand for, @BravoTV @Andy? I’m so done watching #RHOC. The fact that your network continues to give this racist pos @RHOC_KellyDodd a platform is disgusting. Do better. pic.twitter.com/ORkww73L2v

Another asked, “If Bravo “listened to fans” when they said Teddi was boring, & fired her, who’s ignoring everyone’s complaints about Kelly Dodd? She’s been completely insufferable for months now. Cancel the whole damn season. Take away her salary. She’s a monster, & y’all are silent. #RHOC.”
“Ok seriously @Andy @BravoTV you should be embarrassed for allowing @RHOC_KellyDodd to stay in your network. She’s complete and utter trash,” commented another angry fan.
One threatened to stop watching completely writing, “Is that what you stand for, @BravoTV @Andy ? I’m so done watching #RHOC. The fact that your network continues to give this racist pos @RHOC_KellyDodd a platform is disgusting. Do better.”
Times is Up Kelly Dodd

One fan wrote, "She's so proud of herself, she posted a hat pic to her main And why wouldn't she? She is proud to be a racist. And why shouldn't she? She has never once been publicly reprimanded by her employer."
Further, "If anything, on occasion, she dirty deletes. But nobody has ever explicitly called this out and said it was wrong. So she gets louder. She owns this. Her drunk wife life matters more than Black lives. She's telling us this, and nobody in a position of power at her place of employment is countering. So she doubles down. it's that simple."
