Doing the most by proving to be the least…
Former Real Housewives of Orange County star, Kelly Dodd, managed to out-Dodd herself by making an active choice to mock the Indigenous on Halloween, while her husband, Rick Leventhal, managed to out-cringe his wife by dressing as Alec Baldwin from the set of ‘Rust.’
Talk about a match made in hell.
The costumes:
Since the fired RHOC star learned she is 30% Native American thanks to a DNA test, Kelly wore what she described as a “tribute & celebration” of her “Native American heritage” which included a mini skirt and headdress that is not typically worn by women within America’s indigenous culture.
When referring to his own costume, “I just decided to be [Alec Baldwin] at the last minute,” the former Fox News correspondent told Page Six in an exclusive interview.
He clarified that he, too, was going to dress as a Native American, but the tragic news from the set of ‘Rust’ caused his costume choice to pivot.

Not apologizing:
Rick clarified, “In no way was I trying to offend anyone, except Alec Baldwin.”
“He’s a jerk and deserves all the heat he’s getting.”
Kelly told the tabloid, “People are way too sensitive.”
Unaffected AF:
“If we analyzed every costume for who might be offended by it, there would be no Halloween anymore.”
Rick doubled down by asking, “Is [15-year-old Jolie Dodd dressed as a maid] offensive to the service industry?”
