Kelly Dodd, Brother Clash Over Family Disownment Claims

Kelly Dodd, former star of Real Housewives of Orange County, and her brother Eric Meza are embroiled in a public family feud involving accusations of estrangement. Eric claimed in a viral TikTok video that no one in the family, including their mother, father, and Kelly's daughter Jolie, speaks to Kelly, alleging that Jolie has disowned her and that Kelly is a terrible mother. Kelly responded with a series of videos, including a phone call with her father Frank Meza, who condemned Eric and denied his claims that Kelly is a horrible daughter, instead calling Eric "the devil" and describing a history of abusive behavior. Eric also denied Kelly's accusation that he sold stories to the press and criticized Kelly for being disconnected from family events and relationships. Kelly mocked Eric for his own troubled personal history, highlighting his lack of marriage, children, and a stable home, while asserting that the family tensions largely stem from Eric's actions. The ongoing public dispute has drawn considerable attention, with both sides trading harsh words and accusations about family dynamics and personal character.
