Kelly Dodd joked that Harry Hamlin is "next" to have his true sexuality revealed after Todd Chrisley's alleged gay affair surfaced during the reality star's recent federal fraud trial.

Dodd, 46, commented on Page Six's Instagram reel about the claims made by Chrisley's former business partner, Mark Braddock, who testified last week that he and the "Chrisley Knows Best" star were intimate for about a year in the early 2000s and paid off a blackmailer to keep the alleged affair a secret.

"Harry Hamlin is next [face with tears of joy emoji]," the "Real Housewives of Orange County" star wrote in the comments section, implying that the "Clash of the Titans" star is in the closet, Page Six reported.

Dodd didn't specify what she meant by her "next" comment, but it did prompt a response from Hamlin's wife Lisa Rinna.

The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star poked fun at Dodd via Instagram Stories Tuesday. Rinna posted a photo of herself with a beard filtered onto her face, with the caption: "Good morning to Kelly Dodd and Kelly Dodd only."

Rinna could be referring to the slang term for "beard," which is used to describe a person used to conceal someone's sexuality, Page Six noted in a separate report.

The snap Rinna shared was taken in 2015 during an "RHOBH" cast dinner in Amsterdam, Netherlands, where she got into a wine-throwing fight over rumors about Hamlin's alleged affairs.

On Monday, Hamlin's sexual orientation became the target of speculation once more after Rinna got into an online feud with a man named Patrick Somers.

The Bravo star posted Somers' phone number on her Instagram Stories after he allegedly threatened to "expose" Rinna, and then he retaliated by doing the same.

"[It was a] bonus getting to talk to so many nice people today since that guy posted my number. Thanks so much!!! Love you guys so much!!! #SilverLining," Rinna jokingly wrote in another post.

Somers fired back, writing on his Instagram Stories: "@lisarinna not you leaking my number first and then trying to change the narrative, you hunchback."

He also took a subtle jab at her husband, posting, "You need to go worry about YOUR husband and YOUR finances and who he’s spending his time with because his wife is too busy running her overfilled mouth."

"Beverly Hills talks… and we all know," Somers wrote, adding a rainbow emoji.

It was unclear why Rinna and Somers were feuding. However, the man claimed on his Instagram Stories that it had to do with an upcoming show.

"Production has started on a series called 'Real Husbands of Sunset,' and the series is set to compete with the 'Real Housewives' and features an all-male cast . . . . (me being a member)," Somers wrote, according to Page Six.

There is no official report about the alleged series, the outlet said.
