'Real Housewives of Orange County' star compares husband to Hitler

The newest “Real Housewives of Orange County” star isn’t painting her marriage in the most picturesque way.

“Before I got married, Michael was perfect, and when we got married he became like Hitler,” Kelly Dodd explained of husband Michael J. Dodd on Monday’s episode. “He’s a control freak. I felt like he was controlling every aspect of my life.”

Kelly and the former tech CEO stopped short of divorcing and separated for two years. While the Latin beauty got engaged to another man during that time, she ultimately decided to stick with her marriage.

“It made me realize it was easier being with him and having my family together than being divorced,” she told her cast mates, including Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador. “We don’t have a perfect marriage at all, but I’m going to suck it up like my parents did.”

Kelly also confessed that her husband has “narcissistic personality disorder,” and that she currently lives with him and their daughter, as well as her mother and brother.

When pressed by Beador if she was in love with her husband, Kelly’s answer didn’t reveal much.

“He’s a really nice person, know what I mean,” she said.
