Kelly Dodd has once again stirred the pot with a bold assertion about Heather and Terry Dubrow’s relationship. The former “Real Housewives of Orange County” star took to Instagram to address a rumor surrounding the Dubrows, following a report about Dr. Terry Dubrow addressing speculations about his sexuality. The report was published by Reality Blurb under the headline, “RHOC’s Dr. Terry Dubrow Addresses Gay Rumors as He and Wife Heather React to Kyle Richards Seemingly Coming Out as Bi.”

In a comment on Instagram, the 50-year-old reality TV alum drew a controversial comparison between the Dubrows and actor John Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston. She also referenced “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kyle Richards. Dodd’s comment read, “Lisa her best friend told me he was gay his brother was gay their whole family is gay. It’s hereditary. It’s OK they have a lavender marriage. Just like Kelly Preston and John Travolta it’s fine.”

Kelly’s remarks not only reignited the longstanding gay rumors that have shadowed John Travolta during his marriage to Kelly Preston—who passed away in 2020 after a battle with breast cancer—but also blurred the line between reality TV drama and real-life speculation. Her comment hints at the concept of a “lavender marriage,” suggesting a marriage of convenience to maintain social appearances despite personal truths.

The discussion around these rumors comes on the heels of Kyle Richards seemingly addressing her own sexuality, adding another layer to the ongoing dialogue about personal identities within the public eye. As always, Kelly Dodd’s statements have sparked conversation and debate among fans and followers, continuing her legacy as a provocateur in the realm of reality television.

In addition to seemingly signaling the ongoing gay allegations John faced throughout his decades-long marriage to Kelly, who died after a breast cancer battle in 2020, Kelly recalled a moment from RHOBH.

“He will never satisfy her just like Kyle Richards,” she wrote.

As RHOBH fans will recall, psychic Allison Dubois infamously told Kyle, “he will never emotionally fulfill you,” of her now-estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky, 55, during season one.

On the December 17 episode of their Between Us podcast, Heather and Terry spoke of the swirling rumors regarding his sexuality, with Heather slamming the reports as “so stupid.”

“Why would we live like that? Why would we hide that?” she wondered.

Meanwhile, Terry added, “If I’m gay in this long-term relationship, please feel bad for me because I’m not living my true life. I’m having a life of dissatisfaction … If I were gay, I would be … really happy about it. And I would celebrate it. And by the way, I would be a lot wealthier because I would have married a guy who was very, very successful right away, and we don’t spend money the way women spend money.”

“But gay-friendly as we are, why would we live a lie like that?” he continued.
