In a 2016 TMZ clip, Kelly said she didn’t “like” or “know any black guys” while being filmed outside The Nice Guy in Los Angeles.

After the clip was released Kelly said: “I am truly embarrassed. There is no excuse for bad behavior or comments that offend anyone.

“That video does not represent who I really am and I apologize for acting irresponsibly.”

Tamra went on of Kelly’s past remarks: “Bravo shouldn’t just single certain people out like Stassi & Kristen.

“There should be zero tolerance at this point.”

Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute were fired from Vanderpump Rules for calling the police on their black former castmate Faith Stowers.
