Kelly Dodd and husband Rick Leventhal have spoken out on the allegations that she engaged in revenge porn.
Dodd, 50, took to Instagram on Thursday, May 28, to share a clip from her and Rick’s podcast, “The Rick and Kelly Show,” in which the pair discussed a recent report about the accusations.
“I was like, ‘What the actual F is going on here?’” Dodd said of her initial reaction. “Then we see [the report]. It’s hilarious to me, by the way.”
TMZ reported one day earlier that Dodd “unlawfully and intentionally” distributed images of a Jane Doe engaging in sexual activity, citing court documents. According to the outlet, prosecutors allege that the reality star shared “footage of a female having sex and masturbating without their consent.”
Dodd allegedly shared the footage on or around August 29, 2025, with prosecutors claiming the person in the video suffered severe emotional distress upon the video’s release. Dodd and the woman had allegedly agreed to keep the images private.
Dodd also allegedly “contacted the person and threatened to injure her, her property and her family,” the outlet reported.
Leventhal, 66, said in his and Dodd’s response video that they can’t share much information at this time because “Kelly hasn’t gone to court yet.”
“We can confirm that Kelly is going to court,” he added.
Leventhal also claimed that the initial report “got most of the facts wrong — like, completely wrong.”
“And I know you can’t wait to reveal the truth,” Leventhal told Dodd.
Dodd responded, “I need some uplifting right now, because this is so insane, and I know it’s somebody in my family that is putting this stuff out, driving this. And you know who it is.”
The TV personality also claimed to have received a text about the case while they were filming the podcast, which she and Leventhal promised to share with those who subscribe to their Patreon page.
The alleged revenge porn case comes as Dodd is facing a battery charge for an alleged incident that occurred in June 2025 with a different person, Us Weekly confirmed. In total, Dodd is currently facing three misdemeanor charges and possible jail time.
Us reached out to a rep for Dodd for comment.
Dodd appeared on five seasons of The Real Housewives of Orange County from 2016 to 2021. She and Leventhal tied the knot in October 2020.
Late last year, Dodd made headlines for a leaked voicemail in which she threatened her daughter, Jolie, 19, and called the teen a “dumb little girl.” (Kelly shares Jolie with ex Michael Dodd.)
“I apologized to Jolie. All I want is Jolie back in my life,” Kelly exclusively told Us after the voicemail leak. “I have been trying to narrow the gap and bring Jolie back. I talked to her that way because it was out of anger and frustration.”
