REAL Housewives of Orange County star Kelly Dodd should be riding high after her engagement to boyfriend Rick Leventhal.
However, she revealed that her happy moment is being spoiled by her “mean” ex-husband trying to sabotage it.

But she claimed on Thursday that her ex-husband Michael Dodd is threatening to “expose” her, according to Us Weekly.
“It’s very contentious right now. He gets upset,” Kelly told the publication.
She continued: “He knows who [Rick] is. And he’s very mean about him. He calls him Gonzo. And then he’ll send me pictures of him, he’s just mean. He’s not happy for me.”
“He wants to come after me. He says, ‘I’m going to expose you.’ I’m like, ‘OK, go head, expose me,’” she said.
“It’s already out there! Everything’s out there. There’s nothing you can say or do that I haven’t been exposed about,” she told them of her ex.
The couple divorced in 2017 after ten years of marriage.
