“Real Housewives of Orange County” alum Kelly Dodd shared her thoughts about her former castmates in a February 2023 interview on the “Up and Adam!” YouTube channel, alongside her husband, Rick Leventhal.
Dodd, who was let go from the series following season 15, revealed she is not fond of Tamra Judge and shared she does not believe the Vena CBD co-founder is genuine. She noted that Judge congratulated her former castmate Braunwyn Windham-Burke, who has not yet finalized her divorce from her estranged husband, Sean Burke, after she announced she had a wedding ceremony with her girlfriend, Jennifer Spinner, on February 14. Dodd shared that she claimed Judge used to speak negatively about Windham-Burke during a recent appearance on “Jeff Lewis Live.”
“On ‘Jeff Lewis’ I go, ‘huh.’ I go ‘she’s so full of s***. When we used to talk she used to say how much of a wack job Braunwyn was, how weird, and all these negative, nasty things.’ And I’m like ‘how fake,'” stated Dodd.
The former Bravo star then shared she believes “Tamra is the most fake person on the face of this earth.”

“Shannon hated her and now that they are back in cahoots –now they’re besties again, it’s just so fake,” stated Dodd.
