I have always thought that Meghan King Edmonds was way too nice to be on Real Housewives of Orange County, but I am starting to rethink that after I witnessed (what I perceived to be) a lack of compassion for Vicki Gunvalson in the hospital after the dune buggy accident in Glamis. Kelly Dodd (who came on the show as a friend of Meghan’s) is also very put off by her reaction.
When Kelly (who is no stranger to social scandals) is calling you out, then you know you messed up. But at least Meghan has a story line of her own this season! Maybe that’s not an actual bright side since she has been getting a lot of negative attention for this, but I’m just trying to look for something positive in this whole thing.

As erratic as Kelly seems in the episodes, she really is very articulate in her Bravo blog entries. She knows how to assess a situation and throw shade with such precise expertise. Since she is besties with Vicki, it makes perfect sense that she was going to come for Meghan in her latest blog. Plus, Shannon Beador was in on this behavior and we all know that Kelly would never miss a chance to diss Shannon.
Kelly wrote, “The calls that we made to Meghan and later to Shannon were shocking to us. Wow, we were surprised how little empathy they had for Vicki. Heather [Dubrow] and I knew Vicki didn’t have a purse or a change of clothes. I was expecting them to go over there to see if she perhaps needed anything.” I mean, damn. They literally left Vicki without clothes. I did not think that it was possible to get most of the fans on Vicki’s side about anything, but Shannon and Meghan’s response to the dune buggy incident is disheartening.
As for Meghan saying she didn’t understand the gravity of the situation, Kelly isn’t buying it: “Meghan understood that we wanted her and/or Shannon to visit Vicki and be there in her time of need. They were close by. It would have been easy for them. While she professed later to not understand the severity of the accident, in my view anytime someone has to be life-flighted from an accident it tells you all you need to know.”
I actually agree with Kelly on this one. Meghan definitely made the wrong call as a human being. Aside from that, it makes her look bad since she was being filmed for a reality show.

Plus, I’m so confused since Meghan went to Vicki’s birthday party. I guess it was easier to go to a party than to disrupt a game of golf to go to the hospital?
Kelly thought that was weird as well since she wrote, “At the time we placed the first call to Meghan, to ask her to make the relatively short trip over to the hospital to support Vicki, I thought that Meghan and Vicki’s relationship was in a better place since she attended Vicki’s birthday party. They got along well there and left the party on good terms. So, why the reluctance to go see Vicki during her time of need?”
Kelly really hit Meghan with a major insult, then, “I hate to say it, but in that moment, I was embarrassed to call Meghan my friend based upon how she reacted to Vicki being injured in the crash.”
I’m so shocked that I’m Team Kelly for once.
Kelly brought up another good point when she discussed Meghan’s inconsistencies: “Then, and I don’t understand this…when Meghan meets with Heather at Surf and Sand, she seemingly reverts back to the stance she had prior to apologizing to Vicki. Huh? Meghan was shooting the messenger by saying that, in those first few calls from us, Heather was patronizing, animated and theatrical. I don’t understand why she felt she had to offend Heather before apologizing?”
I have no idea if Meghan was just caught in a messy situation she couldn’t get out of or if she was upping the dramatics to stay on the show, but it made her look so bad. I’ve always liked Meghan a lot (as a person, not a reality star), but her reaction to Vicki’s serious injuries was sad to see. I don’t blame her co-stars or the fans for looking at her differently after that.
