Kelly Dodd posted an apology on social media after being slammed for making transphobic comments in a Cameo video.
The "Real Housewives of Orange County" alum made her mea culpa Thursday on Instagram. "I’ve been doing Cameos now for two years and I never saw the pronoun thing before," she explained.
"This was the first time I saw a reference of he/him/she/they/them. I grew up in Arizona with people who were born a boy and a girl and maybe a hermaphrodite here and there," she added.
Dodd explained that she had been drinking when she saw the pronoun information and was "just reacting in my own raw and unfiltered way."
