{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Former "Real Housewives of Orange County" star Kelly Dodd was slammed for making transphobic comments in a Cameo clip.
Dodd, 45, was paid $100 to make a birthday shoutout video for a person named "Jennifer." Dodd says in the video that Cameo changed its format and now identifies a person's pronouns.
'"This is Jennifer she/her,' I don't get this. You're either a boy or a girl, OK?" the reality TV star says on camera.

"This woman needs to get some real education," another said.
Dodd addressed the Cameo in an Instagram video shared Thursday, stating she'd been "drinking" and "was just reacting [in] my own raw, unfiltered way."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"When I was reading the cameo, I saw the pronouns and we'd been drinking and I was just reacting [in] my own raw, unfiltered way," Dodd said in the video. "I wanna be very very clear about this. I accept everyone for who they are. I accept every one for who they want to be and who they believe themselves to be and I don't hate on anyone. I am not transphobic. I was just unfamiliar with the language.
"In the same way people want me to be tolerant of them, I only ask you to be tolerant of me," she added. "I do have very strong opinions and you may not agree with them in the same way I might not agree with your opinions."
Dodd claimed she was fired from the popular Bravo franchise in June after joining the show in 2016 because she's conservative.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}In the comments section of the fan Instagram account @realhousewivesfranchise, a fan wrote, "Why were you fired? Because of your bullying."
Dodd fired back, "No because I'm conservative! That's why I got fired pure and simple."
