Kelly Dodd seemed to scoff at the precautions of COVID-19 while drinking during the day at a crowded restaurant in Newport Beach, California.
The Real Housewives of Orange County star took to her Instagram Story Saturday with some particularly deaf videos of a group outing.
She shouted ‘Cheers!’ while raising a bowl for ‘super spreaders’ with his fellow clients, who seemed to be uncomfortable that the state had exceeded 40,000 COVID-related deaths on the same day.

The 45-year-old enjoyed a little Mai Tais at Billy’s at the Beach with her friends and cousin, who pretended to cough after shouting, ‘Spread that shit!’
“Nobody is wearing a mask,” he heard another customer shouting playfully while the rest of the restaurant laughed.
She later defended herself, telling her 817,000 followers: ‘I am getting a lot of hate because we are in a restaurant that we can go to. We can go to a restaurant, right?
This came after the California Department of Public Health lifted the state’s request to stay at the state home earlier this week, prompting many restaurants to resume dining outdoors.

According to Johns Hopkins University, an average of 544 people a day died of COVID in California last week, with one in 1,000 Californians having lost their lives to the coronavirus since it was first detected in the state.
The death toll in the state has risen rapidly since it faced the worst pandemic outbreak in October, with Southern California hospitals experiencing 0% of its ICU capacity last month.
Although state officials reported earlier this week that the number of hospitalizations is declining, many criticized them for prematurely suspending their order to stay at home.
Dodd already faced a negative reaction last April for some insensitive comments she made on Instagram, after she was criticized for traveling lightly, against the CDC’s advice.

She wrote: ‘Do you know how many people died of H1N1, swine flu or SARS? It is 25% to clarify the facts you are just hearing numbers, not reality!
“It is God’s way of reducing the flock! If you are vulnerable or compromised, stay indoors. If you don’t protect others by wearing masks and gloves, keep your distance and don’t go out if you’re sick !! It’s common sense! ‘
The reality show personality recently apologized for her words on Watch What Happens Live, after host Andy Cohen overcame his own stint on COVID last year.
She said: ‘At the time, it was a question like, “Why are all these people dying? … Why [do] pandemics happen like that? Is it God’s way of reducing the flock? ”
“It was a stupid thing on my part to say. It was insensitive and I apologize if I hurt or offended someone, because it wasn’t really my intention. I was scared of it and, on second thought, it was the stupidest thing I ever said. ‘

However, she threatened to leave earlier this week on Instagram Live if Braunwyn Windham-Burke returns for season 16: ‘I know I can’t shoot with Braunwyn.
“I know for sure that I can’t shoot with her. There is simply no way and if she comes back, I leave because I know for sure that I can’t. She is dangerous and calls people racist and homophobic.
Meanwhile, Cohen recently suggested Twitter that RHOC may be headed for a cast review after answering calls to cancel the show: ‘I think you mean restarting.’
