‘There should be zero tolerance’: Tamra Judge calls for Kelly Dodd to be fired from RHOC after her past racist comments
Tamra Judge wants to see more changes from Bravo after the network fired Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute from Vanderpump Rules for their past racist actions.
The former Real Housewives of Orange County star called for her former costar Kelly Dodd to be fired from the show for her past racist comments.
In an Instagram Q&A session on Tuesday, a fan asked Tamra: ‘Do you think Kelly should be fired for her racist statements coming to light?’

‘Yes I do, that TMZ video is disgusting!’ Tamra, 52, replied. ‘Bravo shouldn’t just single certain people out like Stassi & Kristen. There should be zero tolerance at this point.’
In 2016 Kelly, 44, was filmed by TMZ outside The Nice Guy in Los Angeles saying she didn’t ‘like’ or ‘know any black guys’.
At the time Kelly quickly apologized, saying ‘I am truly embarrassed. There is no excuse for bad behavior or comments that offend anyone,
‘That video does not represent who I really am and I apologize for acting irresponsibly.’ she added.

Tamra and Kelly weren’t exactly best friends during her time on the show, the duo went head to head during season 14 when Kelly accused Tamra of spreading rumors about her.
In January Tamra, along with Vicki Gunvalson, quit the show after being demoted to a friend role and refusing to take a big pay cut.
In April Kelly came under fire for her insensitive words amid the coronavirus after she said in an Instagram comment that the pandemic was ‘God’s way of thinning the herd’. She later apologized.

Bravo are under increasing pressure to cut more stars from their reality shows amid heightened awareness of systemic racism with the Black Lives Matter movement.
Stassi and Kristen were fired last week along with two newcomers Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni for racism.
Stassi and Kristen were called out for falsely accusing black former castmate Faith Stowers of a crime she didn’t commit back in 2018 when they fell out with her over her fling with friend Jax Taylor.
Brett and Max apologized for past racist tweets but were fired after just one season on the show.
