‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ Spoilers: Kelly Dodd Fired By Positive Beverage For Covid Comments
When addressing her fans on Twitter, she said: “I’m glad I could help put Positive Beverage on the map and wish them well. I’m also really excited about my next venture in the beauty industry, which is my real passion. Stay tuned!” And this followed after the CEO of Positive Beverage, founder Zach Muchnick, broke the news with an official statement.
He told Us Weekly: “Today was a rough day: our stakeholder, Kelly Dodd, was distanced from our company as an ambassador of the brand after the recent weeks and days of social media presence, indicating her opinions about people and the pandemic. Unfortunately, these values weren’t aligned with our tone and priorities of inclusion, diversity, wellness and health within every pillar of daily life.
“While she remains a minority shareholder in the company, we made the decision today to formally sever ties with her endorsement and likeness with our brand, so that we can continue our charge to spread good vibes and healthy hydration to everyone!”So how did this all start? Kelly was spotted having dinner without a mask and ridiculing the covid guidelines. She posted a video on Instagram with the following comments:
“I’m not a super spreader because there’s nothing to spread. We all got the vaccine, and we don’t have it, so there’s nothing to spread about superspreaders.” And the pressure on Kelly has been increasing with many fans believing she has been fired from the housewives franchise with Kelly using her feud with Braunwyn as an excuse for not returning to film.
One fan wrote: “It sounds like Kelly was already fired and is trying to frame it as her refusal to film with Braunwyn. I think they should both go. How confident or delusional is Kelly? She insists on seeing someone fired rather than work with Braunwyn. Kelly? “The woman who called a coworker a you-know-what? Who spends most of her first season drunk?”
Let us see what will happen next and if Kelly can recover from this. If you enjoyed reading this article, then make sure you check out our other features on the Daily Soap Dish.
