Kelly Dodd posted an apology on social media after being slammed for making transphobic comments in a Cameo video. 

The "Real Housewives of Orange County" alum made her mea culpa Thursday on Instagram. "I’ve been doing Cameos now for two years and I never saw the pronoun thing before," she explained. 

"This was the first time I saw a reference of he/him/she/they/them. I grew up in Arizona with people who were born a boy and a girl and maybe a hermaphrodite here and there," she added. 

Dodd explained that she had been drinking when she saw the pronoun information and was "just reacting in my own raw and unfiltered way."

'"This is Jennifer she/her,' I don't get this. You're either a boy or a girl, OK?" the Dodd says on camera.

"You're born a girl or a boy," Dodd continued. "I don't get it. You're Jennifer. I'm sorry, I don't give a f--k."
