Kelli Ferrell is denying Brittany “Brit” Eady‘s claim that she had an abortion and repeating her pill-popping accusations against her.

Following their messy feud on Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kelli, 40, accused Brit, 37, of lying about her on national television as she stood by her pill-popping allegation in a new interview, prompting Brit to speak out and suggest she cheated on her now-ex-husband, Chuvalo Mark Ferrell.

“This was the one episode that I did not look forward to. It was the one episode where I wish that if I could, not take it back, but I’m just disappointed with what truly transpired and very hurt by the things that were said,” Kelli explained to Entertainment Tonight on June 23.

Then, when asked if Brit had reason to make the abortion claim against her, Kelli said they’d never discussed the topic.

“Let me just always say this: It’s my body and my choice. [But] nothing had transpired with Brit and I, where I had talked to her about abortions, I had her pick me up from an abortion .. It wasn’t anything that happened between her and I, where that was discussed, ever, out of any moment or time in our friendship,” she revealed. “And it’s hurtful that she would just blatantly come on national television and tell a lie.”

According to Kelli, she’s now in a place where she has to speak to her children about the allegation.

“I am a mother of four beautiful daughters. She’s not a mother, unfortunately, and I have to now have that conversation with all of my daughters because it’s something that was talked about on the show,” she shared. “And it’s hurtful that someone that I once called a friend to me would take a lie and say that and almost have people to believe them because we’re friends, so I’m curious to see — and we never even got down to the bottom of it — why that statement was said.”

Although Kelli admitted she wasn’t innocent in their shocking spat, she reasoned that her claims against Brit were true while Brit’s claims against her were not.

“The statement that I made, unlike hers, was very truthful, and I can back mine up, and clearly she can’t … It’s the truth. Tell me when you didn’t put pills on the table,” she concluded.

Following the sharing of Kelli’s interview, Brit reacted in a comment posted to The Bravo Shade Room‘s account on Instagram.

“She better keep it on the playground before I provide the receipts on WHO it was by WHILE she was married.. she don’t want to go there,” she warned.
