Bob Saget’s Widow Kelly Rizzo Blasts Critics for Saying She Moved on Too Fast
Kelly Rizzo has blasted critics for saying she moved on from her late husband Bob Saget too quickly.
The 44-year-old actress was left devastated when Full House star Bob, 65, died in January 2022 after he was found dead in his hotel room while on a comedy tour, and took her new romance with actor Breckin Meyer, 49, public in early February at a Grammys viewing party.
She has now said in a video on TikTok people have “no place and no right” to comment on her relationship as they have no idea about the level of her pain over Bob’s death.
Kelly hit out: “The vast, vast, vast majority of all of the comments and feedback and support and everything I’ve gotten since Bob passed, 99 percent has been positive and lovely and wonderful.
“But there are some people who just love to talk.
“You just don’t understand the incredibly complex and difficult and dynamic thoughts and feelings that come up during this entire process.”
Kelly added in her five-minute clip she still feels “guilt” following the death of Bob – which was the result of a brain bleed most likely brought on by a fall in his hotel room near Williamsburg, Fla. – but stressed she didn’t think about dating anyone until well after his death.
She said: “I didn’t personally get to that point until well after a year after Bob had passed.
“And then I didn’t start dating until 18 months or so after Bob passed.”
Kelly and Breckin have attended a friend’s wedding together in Mexico and were photographed passionately kissing at the event.
The Unfiltered With Kelly Rizzo star also told her TikTok followers she has received the blessing of Bob’s daughters – Aubrey, 37, Lara, 34, and 31-year-old Jennifer – for her new romance,
But she confessed she was still feeling “really weird about it."
Kelly went on: “In my situation, it was Bob’s daughters, Bob’s friends. They were saying, ‘It’s OK.’ So I’m like, ‘OK, it must be OK.’
“But you still need to feel OK with it and [make] peace with it in your heart.”
Bob and Kelly married in 2018 three years after they met.
