Meghan King is proudly waving the rainbow flag in the faces of those against the LGBTQ+ community.

The blonde beauty gained media attention after stealing hearts as a member of the reality TV series, "The Real Housewives of Orange County." However, her time on the Bravo show ended in 2017.

The 38-year-old may no longer be a homemaker. Still, her influence remains, given her significant number of followers—unfortunately, the mother of three butted heads against her fans after sharing a bold post against homophobes.

Meghan King Claps Back At Critics After Facing Backlash For Pride Month Message

Taking to her Instagram Story, the "Say Yes to the Dress" star shared a candid video addressing the recent hate she received over her LGBTQ+ post. The media personality filmed herself at home, ditching her usual glam for a more relaxed vibe.

The St. Louis native sported a messy bun with her bare face, looking comfortable in a plain baggy tee and wine shorts while seated on a chair. She appeared to be in the living room area of her home, judging by the TV and furniture in the background.

Diving into the issue, the 38-year-old noted that she was "simply blown away by the number of homophobes" on the "cheeky post" she made. "Like people are losing their minds, which, thank you very much, because I don't want you in my life or my energy. So block, block, block," King quipped.

Although she was willing to block out the hatred, the blonde entertainer noted that she was concerned about the negative responses from people. She did not understand why others believed it was "acceptable to spew this amount of hatred back into the world."

"Like I'm mind blown," the TV personality lamented. "So on that note, I'm going to go upstairs, give my kids baths and talk to my children about equality and loving all different kinds of people and allowing love to be loved."

King stressed that it was not anyone's business as long as the relationship was a "consensual act between two adults." The mother of three reaffirmed her stance to educate her kids about the matter, stating that some people had advised her not to tell her children.

Alongside this statement, the St. Louis native added: "Some people can't handle this post. Woah. Please, comment if you hate this post so I can block you and your vile energy. BYEEEEE."

When the 38-year-old shared her "cheeky post" on June 6 to wish her followers a happy Pride Month, the former Bravo star did not expect to receive hundreds of complaints.

"Wow. Little Rude. I hope no one wishes you or anyone an uncomfortable month — for anything! Be nice all day, every day," someone criticized. "Talk about judging!! Is it ok for you? No one else can have their opinion? You're the problem!" another person slammed King.

"Just wait until they push all the LGBT on your children," a third warned while a fourth chimed: "It's not about being homophobic but about protecting our kids. I was ok with drag queens until they started doing story time with my kids in drag. That's understandable."

The 'Resale Royalty' Alum Revealed Her Interest In Same-Sex Relationships

"I also thought it hasn't worked with men, and I have thought about exploring my sexuality with women before. Hey, why not?" the blonde beauty confessed during an episode of her "Intimate Knowledge" podcast.

The TV personality's words were not for clout as the mother of three revealed she had met a special lady, whose name she refused to disclose. "I met a woman, and we hit it off. She's beautiful, and I'm feeling freer than ever," the St. Louis native chimed.

However, failing at loving the opposite sex was not the sole reason King opened her heart to women. According to the former Bravo star, she was always interested in same-sex affairs, confessing that she enjoyed watching "lesbian porn."
