Kelly Dodd long ago lost her mind, but on this weekâs episode of Real Housewives Of Orange County she also lost her helmet, and nearly her head, in an ATV accident at Glamis Dunes. âIt was a weekend I will never forget,â Kelly declares.Â
The trip began on a bad note with the atrocious RV trek to Glamis. No amount of fancy overcomes motion sickness! âThe bus ride to Glamis took FOREVER!!!â bemoans Kelly. âI have a long history of motion sickness. Itâs very difficult for me to go on boats, trains, long car rides and winding roads without getting sick.â

The âawesomeâ campsite temporarily redeemed the situation. âTamra and Eddie were gracious hosts. They put a lot of thought and effort into making it a memorable birthday weekend for Eddie and a good time for all of us. A huge thank you to the Judges,â gushes Kelly.
Then Tamra crashed the dune buggy and ruined all the fun! First Kelly insists no one had concerns about Tamraâs driving capabilities and she âfelt 100% comfortableâ with her driving.Â
The helmet made Kelly feel claustrophobic, so she loosened the strap. âI realized that was stupid, so I tried to put on the helmet strap back on tight,â she recalls. âObviously that didnât work. It took only an instant for me to lose my helmet when we flipped.âÂ
âIt happened so fast, we could only hold on for dear life and hope for the best.â Kelly acknowledges sheâs very, very lucky to have walked away unscathed.Â
âBoth Tamra and Vicki were in a lot of pain. Since their injuries were different itâs hard to compare, but at the moment it seemed like Vicki was more severely hurt and at greater risk of spinal injury, nerve damage, concussion, internal injury, etc,â explains Kelly.
Vicki was âclearly struggling,â Kelly adds. Vicki and Tamra had to wait âa long timeâ before evacuation, while laying in the sun the entire time. Kelly praises Heather for being âcool and calm under pressureâ throughout the situation.Â
Kelly and Heather remained at the campsite due to the kids, including Tamraâs, and because no one knew the prognosis with Tamra or Vicki. Plus no one had cars. Â
âAfter Tamra and Vicki were taken to the hospitals, Heather and I were still shaken up, but we did our best to calm down and follow-up with people who needed to know what had happened,â Kelly writes in her Bravo blog.Â
After learning Tamra and Vicki were in Palm Springs, it seemed natural to call Meghan and Shannon because Vicki was âin Palm Springs literally with nothing and nobody by her side!âÂ
âWhen Vicki was life-flighted she left behind her purse. She had no shoes, identification or money. At the hospital they had to cut off her clothes because they couldnât risk moving her.â (Kelly claims Meghan was actually 15 â 30 minutes away, not 45).Â
âHeather called Meghan first because we thought Shannon might be with with her,â Kelly continues. âWhen Heather and I heard Meghanâs reaction and reluctance to go the hospital and show support for Vicki (of course would have meant disrupting her golf game) we were beside ourselves in disbelief.âÂ
âDespite their strained and tenuous relationship with Vicki, I fully expected that Meghan would respond like most caring adults and express concern for her. Even though we at times may struggle in our relationships and have our differences, we all naturally share the common experience of being in the same circle of friends,â adds Kelly. âAs much as I at times have detested Shannon for (in my opinion) setting me up, I would absolutely help her in any way I could if she was injured and hospitalized (I pray this never happens). I would do that in an instant.âÂ
Kelly reminds us that Meghan lectured her for lacking self-awareness and empathy. âHow absolutely ironic,â chastises Kelly, âthat when, Meghan should have shown empathy for someone, she proves that she has none!â
âIt gets worse from here folks. You think you know these women? You may be shocked at what comes next,â warns Kelly. âStay tuned for next week.âÂ
Oh, gee⌠VICKtimâs revenge continues. Well I donât like Meghan either, so I guess itâs anyoneâs game who gets worse.Â
