A former Real Housewives of Orange County star has been accused of sharing revenge porn and could face jail time if convicted. Kelly Dodd, 50, who left the show in 2021, is alleged by prosecutors to have “unlawfully and intentionally” shared footage of an unnamed woman masturbating, without the woman’s consent. According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, prosecutors claim Dodd shared the footage in August last year, after she and the woman had agreed to keep it private. Prosecutors also claim that the footage was taken without the unnamed woman’s consent at a moment when she had a reasonable expectation of privacy. The incident, the lawyers claim, has caused the alleged victim significant emotional distress. They also say that, at a similar time, Dodd made threats against the other woman’s property, family, and physical well-being. She is also facing a battery charge against a separate unnamed woman from June last year, TMZ reports. Dodd now faces three misdemeanor charges and possible jail time. The Daily Beast has reached out to Dodd’s representative for comment.
