The former *Real Housewives of Orange County* star thinks Bravo should've done a better job vetting Jennie before bringing her onto the RHOSLC cast. The network ultimately *“ceased filming”* with Jennie on Tuesday, January 25 after her insensitive Facebook posts from 2020 resurfaced. *“Should they have better vetted Jennie? Probably. But that’s on them,”* Kelly said on Thursday's episode of her podcast,[“Rick and Kelly’s Unmasked.”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1Zt3vwZUN8) *“This is about Bravo and Andy Cohen, not me. This is their brand and their business. If they feel they need to fire her, that’s their decision. I don’t work for them anymore. I did, and they fired me, and a lot of people think they fired me for the wrong reasons but that was Bravo’s choice,”* she continued. Kelly went on to insist that she's not racist despite previously wearing a “Drunk Wives Matter,” hat and making other controversial statements over the years. She noted that she doesn't want to be *“lump[ed]”* in with Jennie even though she was also fired by the network. *“Don’t lump me in with this chick,”* she said. *“I don’t know her and I’m not getting involved in what she did or didn’t say. I don’t know if she’s racist but I do know I am not!”* She added, *“I know what racism feels like. I grew up Mexican on the west side of Phoenix with a very diverse group of friends, and I still have a very diverse group of friends.”* *The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City* airs on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET. ## Thoughts on this all?
