#RHOC Kelly Dodd Explains Why ‘Thirsty’ Meghan Edmonds Is Hell-Bent On Creating Drama!
Kelly Dodd put Meghan King Edmonds in her place during Monday night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County — and is now dishing more details in her Bravo blog.
Kelly confirms that her relationship with Shannon Beador was on the road to recovery, until a girls night out put the fragile friendship in jeopardy.
“Shannon is one of the funniest people I know and sure enough we had a great time together at Muldoons. At one point, I don’t remember what we were talking about, but I noticed Shannon’s phone was running the microphone app, i.e., she was recording our conversation! I was too shocked to confront her at the time, but I know with certainty, what I saw on her phone. Given our history, at Shannon’s ’70s party and after her attempt to get me drunk Ireland, I assumed the worst. What reason could she possibly have to record our conversation? Given our nascent friendship, I don’t fully trust Shannon. I left Muldoons a little confused, but after thinking about being recorded, I woke up the next day more suspicious than ever.”
Kelly writes that she discussed the issue with her mother and Meghan, hoping to gain clarity on what was going on. Fans know what happened next — and Kelly confirms that Meghan was up to no good.
“Let’s review the tape. First Meghan goes behind my back by calling Shannon and telling her what I said about Shannon recording me. Then, she has lunch with Vicki, during which she is hell bent on reopening old wounds by discussing Vicki’s accusation that David allegedly abused Shannon. Even though Vicki clearly explained that continuing to discuss the matter would be hurtful to Shannon, Meghan immediately called Shannon to rat Vicki out. Meghan was thirsty to keep the feud going. Finally, for some for some strange reason, during what was otherwise a great time at Hamburger Mary’s, Meghan decides to resurrect the “affair text battle” that happened between us six months ago. Pot stirred. Shit disturbed.”
Kelly weighs in on what she believes could be fueling Meghan’s shady actions.
“Why is Meghan so thirsty? Perhaps it’s because she is bored with her life in St. Louis and misses some OC drama? Maybe she is trying to find something to talk about other than baby Aspen. Regardless, she seems intent on keeping old disputes alive or resurrecting rumors that were previously dealt with, squashed and I thought, buried.”
Kelly reminds readers of what she wrote about the swapped “affair” texts when the tea first spilled on RHOC.
“… I was shocked to see her play the victim (as a seven month pregnant woman) when she provoked me originally last summer with a rude, nasty text claiming she heard I had a boyfriend. Which is total bulls***! Meghan and I had not communicated for weeks before I received her text. No, “Hi, how are you?” No pleasantries. Her text came at me from out-of-the-blue, was completely out-of-bounds, a vicious rumor from some random Twitter troll.”
Kelly jumps back to Monday’s episode, and reveals what was going through her head at the time.
“Despite having a great time with the ladies, I was still a little peeved at Meghan for betraying me to Shannon. I very clearly told Meghan I wanted to raise the issue to Shannon myself, one-on-one. So, it didn’t take much for the resentment I felt for Meghan to flare up.”
Kelly explains that she had addressed the recording incident with Shannon on the way to Hamburger Mary’s, and that they had agreed to not discuss it further. Her beef with Meghan, however, was far from settled.
“With Tamra, Lydia, Shannon and Tamra’s pseudo-psychic present, Meghan once again tries to play the victim. Her spin on the story is that, out of the blue, I attacked her by claiming her husband, Jimmy, was having a “10 year affair on her” (interesting, since she’s only been married a little more than two years – but let’s not let facts stand in the way of rumors). Why is she bringing this up again? I am sure Jimmy appreciates her dragging up his past as much as he appreciates her calling him a complete ***hole. Way to go Meghan! If you are going to talk about our text battle, then at least tell the whole story. Instead, Meghan tries to paint me in the worst light possible and portrays herself as the victim. It’s a damn good thing that I kept those texts messages to show the women the truth. Rather than acknowledge Meghan’s deceit, Shannon calls “tit for tat”, which is a false equivalency.”
Kelly winds down by twisting a knife into Tamra Judge — retaliating after her co-star shaded Kelly for dissing her parenting.
“After Meghan gets upset, Tamra tries to console Meghan in the bathroom, saying {I} said that I came after her too. Of course she was referring to what happened in Ireland when I said, “no wonder her daughter doesn’t talk to her”. Was I right?”
“For the record, I did not call Meghan a bad mother. I said she should focus on her baby instead of spreading rumors.”
