REAL Housewives of Orange County star Kelly Dodd is once again being slammed for not taking the coronavirus pandemic seriously.
The 44-year-old reality television star was called out by followers, after she complained about wearing a mask in a restaurant.
“Putting on a mask to walk ten feet through a restaurant and then taking it off when I get to my table is one of the dumbest things I’ve done in my entire life and I’ve done a lot of dumb things,” she posted to Instagram.
Kelly, who previously called coronavirus “God’s way of thinning the herd,” was told to “use her brain,” by disgruntled fans.
“Always been a fan of you but this is NOT the post to make in the middle of a pandemic… you have a platform Kelly.. use your brain,” wrote one.
“if you don’t like it, don’t go to a restaurant. It’s not that hard,” pointed out another.
Another told her to “do your part.”
They wrote, “tell that to the families of the almost 200K ppl that have died and are still dying at 1000+ a day. The numbers are starting to go dirk because most are doing their part…..do yours.”
“I’m an epidemiologist and a nurse practitioner..you are very wrong! We are still in the midst of a pandemic. It’s really sad that you think caring for and protecting others is dumb,” wrote another.
Kelly’s faux pas is the latest in a number of events where she’s been accused of inappropriate and insensitive conduct around the pandemic.
The Real Housewives of Orange County star sparked outrage in April after insisting the people who died from the deadly bug would have “died anyway” with or without the virus.
Kelly made the insensitive remarks in her Instagram comments after fans called her out for flying from New York to California – something she documented on her Stories – despite quarantine guidelines.
She lashed back: “That many die anyway!! They would’ve died this year they were compromised !!”
She added: “It’s God’s way of thinning the herd!!”
