Kelly Dodd said on social media recently that she has experienced racism, after being called out for her own racially insensitive remarks.

The reality star — who is of Mexican descent — made the comment during an Instagram exchange with a fan, who asked “But like, do you truly believe that bc ‘you’re Mexican you can’t be racist’?” in response to Dodd vowing not to “argue with people on social media.”

Dodd, 44, then wrote,  “I’ve experienced racism personally .. I’m a woman of color and love everyone!”

The “Real Housewives of Orange County” star recently came under fire amid the Black Lives Matter movement for past comments she made on TMZ about black men.

In a resurfaced clip from 2016, she said, “I don’t like black guys. I don’t even know any black guys.”

Dodd’s former co-star, Tamra Judge, called for her to be fired from Bravo, saying, “That TMZ video is disgusting Bravo shouldn’t just single certain people out like Stassi [Schroeder] & Kristen [Doute]. There should be zero tolerance at this point.”

Earlier this month, Bravo fired Schroeder, 31, and Doute, 37, after they called the police on Faith Stowers, the only black castmate on “Vanderpump Rules,” to falsely accuse her of a crime in 2018.

Dodd said in response to Judge, 52, on Instagram, “She’s just thirsty and mad she got the bullet..grasping for straws poor thing .. I hope she finds happiness.”
