Kelly Dodd Claims ‘No One Is Dying’ of Coronavirus in Orange County

Under fire again. Kelly Dodd ditched her mask amid the coronavirus pandemic — and she wants everyone to know it.

Stars Who Drew Backlash for Their Controversial Views on Coronavirus

The 44-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County star celebrated the reopening of restaurants and stores in her California hometown on Monday, May 25.

“Yay, we finally get to have a meal out,” Dodd said in a video via her Instagram Stories. “Yay, no one is wearing a mask. I love it. Yay!”

While employees at the restaurant Dodd was dining at in the O.C. were clearly wearing masks in her video, she repeated herself.

“No one is wearing masks here in Orange County. Yup, because no one is dying here of the virus,” the Bravo star claimed, showing off her meal with her mom, Bobbi. Dodd was also joined by 13-year-old daughter Jolie, whom she shares with ex-husband Michael Dodd.

Stars Who Tested Positive for Coronavirus

Kelly concluded her day out with a message on her Instagram Stories: “It’s not the government’s job to protect my health. It’s the government’s job to protect my RIGHTS. It’s my job to protect my health. When you trade liberty for safety you end up losing both.”

Orange County has lost more 131 people to coronavirus in recent months. According to the Los Angeles Times, the county recorded 14 deaths related to the virus on Thursday, May 21, the highest single-day total since the pandemic began.

This is hardly the first time the reality TV personality has made headlines for her controversial comments about the COVID-19 crisis. She apologized in April for saying coronavirus was “God’s way of thinning the herd.”

“What I meant was, do these pandemics happen because it’s God’s way? I’m not God, I’m not insensitive,” she said. “I feel bad for all the families who have lost loved ones. And I do think we should all stay home and protect everybody. That’s not what I meant, and I want to apologize to anybody who got offended. I’m sorry.”

Less than month later, however, Kelly compared coronavirus to the flu.

“People are going to die! I’m sorry to tell ya,” she told her nearly 760,000 Instagram followers in May.

While production on RHOC season 15 was previously on pause amid the pandemic, Kelly reunited with Shannon Beador, Braunwyn Windham-Burke and Emily Simpson to film from a distance earlier this month.

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
