The Ugly Truth About Being A Widow That No One Talks About
HuffPost
Bob Saget’s widow, Kelly Rizzo, recently said that people have "no right to comment" about widows dating again.
Earlier this week, Kelly Rizzo, the widow of late comedian Bob Saget, fiercely responded to criticism about her dating life.
Saget died in January 2022 from an accidental head injury, and in February of this year, Rizzo revealed she was seeing “Clueless” actor Breckin Meyer. (Last month, Rizzo told E! News that she did get the blessing of Saget’s three adult daughters, which “meant so much to have.”)
“I’m gonna start by saying unless you are a widow or widower, you truly have absolutely no place and no right to comment on this because you do not know what it’s like,” the 44-year-old said in a nearly five-minute-long TikTok video published Monday.
“You just don’t understand the incredibly complex, and difficult, and dynamic thoughts and feelings that come up during this entire process,” Rizzo continued. “At some point, when it crosses your mind to even think about starting to date again, just having those thoughts, you feel guilty.”
The same thing happened a few years back to Amanda Kloots, the co-host of “The Talk” who lost her husband, Broadway star Nick Cordero, from complications from COVID-19 in July 2020.
