Dr. Dhivya Srinivasa is a plastic and general surgeon who recently angered Kelly Dodd, a Real Housewives of Orange County alum. Now, Kelly is threatening her with a lawsuit. You see, Kelly posted a video defending her fellow Bravo alum, Jill Zarin. But once Dr. Dhivya entered the chat, all hell broke loose between her and Kelly.
To recall, during the Super Bowl, Jill went online, slamming Bad Bunny’s halftime show for having “no white people in the entire thing.” Jill’s unnecessary comments hit a nerve with people, who quickly pointed out her racist biases. As a result, Jill got canceled, which Kelly disagreed with.
However, while supporting Jill, Kelly also wound up in the hot seat, most notably with Dr. Dhivya, who believes that Kelly also exhibits racist tendencies. Here’s what happened.
Kelly Dodd has been branded a “racist” for various reasons
Dr. Dhivya isn’t the only voice calling Kelly out for “racist” matters. In 2016, a video leaked, showing Kelly saying, “I don’t like Black guys,” and “I don’t even know any Black guys.” No one knows what or who Kelly was speaking to here. But Tamra Judge still wanted Kelly fired.
In response, Kelly clapped back, suggesting that Tamra was “just thirsty and mad.” But in 2020, Kelly made headlines once again for wearing a “Drunk Wives Matter” hat. Many fans interpreted her fashion accessory as a jab at the Black Lives Matter movement, but as Kelly stressed during the Season 15 reunion, “I’m Black.” Meanwhile, that same year, Kelly’s former costar, Braunwyn Windham-Burke, further accused Kelly of sending “racist” text messages, making Kelly finally address the elephant in this room.
On Instagram, Kelly explained, “No, I don’t identify as African American.” However, she is “part black (4%).” Likewise, Kelly’s faced discrimination “for my Mexican heritage (54% Spanish/Portuguese), and btw I’m also 28% Native American. I’ve experienced racism, and it’s a trigger for me when others who haven’t try to weaponize racism against me.”
Plastic surgeon Dr. Dhivya Srinivasa called out Kelly Dodd for defending Jill Zarin
When Dr. Dhivya came across her Jill-supporting post, she had some thoughts. Overall, she strongly disagreed with Kelly’s opinion.
“Jill called me this morning, frantic,” Kelly began in Dr. Dhivya’s shared reel. Then, Dr. Dhivya cut in, saying, “I’ve been exposed to you for approximately three and a half seconds, and I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that of all the people that Jill needed to call about her PR racism disaster, I don’t know that I would have put you on that list. But, go on.”
Kelly did, but she stuttered, making Dr. Dhivya jest, “English is my second language, and I’m an immigrant, and yet, I don’t seem to have that problem.” In her reel, Kelly next wondered why people can’t carry “alternative views” anymore. In response, Dr. Dhivya explained, “Let me put this in terms that you might understand.”
“An alternative viewpoint, for example, would be if I said, ‘You don’t need your seventeenth rhinoplasty because your nose is deficient in cartilage.’ That would be an example of an alternative viewpoint. Racism is not an alternative viewpoint. Funny thing about racism is that, while one group benefits from it greatly, another group is harmed by it. You happen to be part of the group that benefits from it, and you don’t see that.’”
Kelly threatened to sue Dr. Dhivya, but the plastic surgeon isn’t backing down
In response, Kelly went online and told Dr. Dhivya to “get a job,” while labeling the medic’s career as the “lowest on the totem pole.” Then, Kelly asked, “Didn’t [the doctor] take an oath?” Now, Kelly has since deleted some of her posts, but as Dr. Dhivya noted, “the internet lives on forever,” which helped her share and address some of Kelly’s rebuttals.
First off, Dr. Dhivya has a job. She’s “a double board-certified fellowship-trained microvascular reconstructive surgeon for women with breast cancer.” Secondly, “The Hippocratic Oath is something that doctors take to do no harm. There is actually no clause within The Hippocratic Oath that we cannot call out racist bigots online.”
Now Kelly is ready to sue Dr. Dhivya, because she’s since lost a few brand deals. Yet, Dr. Dhivya cares very little. Instead, she calmly asked, “You’re going to sue me, Kelly? For what?
“Those are your words,” Dr. Dhivya argued. “Your words. Your videos.” We then return to Kelly, who’s misspeaking, saying that her attorney is “Anthony Weiner.”
Laughing, Dr. Dhivya noted that Kelly “mixed up” her “weiners.” Also, Kelly “can’t sue me or anyone else for sharing public videos that [she] made and posted.”
A number of Bravo stars have applauded Dr. Dhivya for confronting Kelly
Many Bravo personalities are currently living in Dr. Dhivya’s comments, applauding her for her opinions. To start, Golnesa Gharachedaghi penned, “I’m sooo here for thissss!!!” Meanwhile, Brauwyn also sounded off, writing, “These videos are everything.”
Then we have Tiffany Moon, inserting several crying emojis. Also laughing is Chrishell Stause, joking, “SHHHHHH!! My favorite show is on.”
Meanwhile, Chanel Ayan took a different route. Maybe something else is at play here, Chanel’s comment suggested, urging, “Bestie, at this point let her be, she doesn’t seem ok.” Yet, Phaedra Parks isn’t convinced. Instead, Phaedra loves this journey for the good doctor, because “Class was in session,” and Dr. Dhivya can “READ.”
Finally, Yolanda Hadid wrote, “You go girl.” So, have we seen the last of these back-and-forth posts between Kelly and Dr. Dhivya? Only time will tell. But, for now, neither party seems intent on backing down.
The Real Housewives of Orange County is streaming on Peacock.
