Arrests, Restraining Orders & More! ‘RHOC’ Star Kelly Dodd’s Wild Past Exposed

The wild woman in the OC!

Kelly Dodd keeps the drama coming on The Real Housewives of Orange County!

From arrests to restraining orders, divorces and fights on camera, Dodd does it all.

Her fourth season on RHOC found her fighting with Vicki Gunvalson, Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge as the women sent accusations flying.

Dodd’s head bonking of Beador during a wellness retreat seemed to be a comical moment, but Beador dragged her for the incident and Dodd ended up apologizing.

And that was the tamest thing she had done in years!

Dodd was accused by Gunvalson of doing cocaine on the RHOC Season 13 reunion, a move that destroyed any friendship they had left.

After that, the claws were out!

Dodd called into Flipping Out star Jeff Lewis’ radio show and dropped the bombshell news that Gunvalson had been “demoted” on the show, going from The OG of the OC to just a “friend” after 14 years.

But her fights weren’t only with her co-stars.

From a restraining order to an ex who was arrested for battery, Dodd is the most outrageous of the RHOC ladies.

RadarOnline.com uncovered exclusive documents exposing her ex-fiancé of arrest for domestic violence.

“Jeffrey Alan Caldwell did willfully and unlawfully commit a battery against Jane Doe, who was cohabiting with the defendant,” documents obtained from the Superior Court of California read of the February 26, 2013 incident.

Dodd revealed that she was engaged to her boyfriend of three months, Rick Leventhal, on Nov. 13, 2019. The RHOC star showed off a massive pear-shaped diamond and bragged about “how big it is,” while hugging her FOX News correspondent fiancé.

Dodd and her plastic surgeon boyfriend Brian Reagan broke up in 2019 after six months of dating and she fled to RHONY star Ramona Singer’s Hampton’s house to get over the split. “I love Brian and I miss him. I loved having a partner like him. He is so loving, but the distance is difficult and it just didn’t work out,” Kelly told RadarOnline.com at the time.

In a police report exclusively obtained by RadarOnline.com, Dodd was accused of physically and verbally attacking her ex-boyfriend Jeff Caldwell’s new fiancée. On September 10, 2015, Dodd, who was listed as the victim in the case, reported a battery incident that took place at her daughter’s school. “Dodd entered the classroom and confronted Heidi Delgadillo about a verbal argument both had at the school the previous day,” the report obtained by the Newport Beach Police Department read. “Dodd was enraged as she began arguing and started, ‘F**k you b***h, you’re nothing but a stripper’ and began waving money in front of Delgadillo.” Delgadillo, whose child attends the same school as Dodd’s daughter, grabbed her and “dug her nails into her arm.” When the reporting officer spoke with Delgadillo, she explained how Dodd also reached out and grabbed her upper arm. No arrests were made at the time of the incident.

Dodd filed a restraining order against Delgadillo after the Sept. 2015 incident. In court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Dodd explained the situation. “She says, ‘Look at your fake bag,'” Dodd wrote in the filing. “I in turn said, ‘Look at your fake hair, fake boobs and fake lips.’ She in turn digs her nails into my arm, in defense I put my nails into her.” Dodd added, “Things are out of control. Things are escalating. I have been at this school for five years and she comes and attacks me!” Dodd also provided a series of Facebook messages, where Delgadillo allegedly called Dodd an “insecure cougar " and other highly-offensive names. The restraining order was denied without prejudice.

In January 2014, Dodd’s ex-fiancé’s ex-wife filed a protective order against her because she sent her emails and texts that were “derogatory in nature, inflammatory and harassing.” In the January 24, 2014 filing, the estranged wife of Dodd’s then-boyfriend Jeffrey Caldwell asked that the reality star stay 100 feet from her at her home, work, and her son Jake‘s school and place of child care. The case was dismissed in February 2014.

In July 2014, her then-estranged husband Michael Dodd hit her with a restraining order after a July 2014 domestic violence arrest. The protective order was terminated on February 4, 2015 and Dodd was forced to complete 10 alcoholics anonymous meetings and six months of therapy according to documents obtained by RadarOnline.com. She filed for divorce from her husband after six years of marriage on March 6, 2012 before reconciling two years later. They finalized their divorce in March 2018.

Dodd and Judge were caught getting into a screaming match during a cast trip to Miami, Florida — and it was all caught on tape!

In Nov. 2019 Gunvalson filed a defamation lawsuit against Dodd, Bravo and NBCUniversal, claiming that Kelly calling her a “con woman” would be harmful to her reputation. Gunvalson backed down after RadarOnline.com reported that she would be banned from the Season 14 reunion show taping if she didn’t drop the lawsuit. She filed papers in the Los Angeles Superior Court dismissing the lawsuit days later.
