‘RHOC’ alum Kelly Dodd speaks out about revenge porn charge



Kelly Dodd laughed off the allegations that she engaged in revenge porn.

The “Real Housewives of Orange County” said in an Instagram video Thursday that when a journalist reached out to her about the charges, she thought to herself, “What the actual f is going on here?”

“It’s hilarious to me, by the way,” Dodd, 50, added.

Dodd’s husband, Rick Leventhal, told her followers they “can’t tell you much right now because Kelly hasn’t gone to court yet.”

He did, however, confirm Dodd “is going to court.”

Leventhal also claimed TMZ “got most of the facts wrong” in the outlet’s report about the charges.

“And I know you can’t wait to reveal the truth,” he told Dodd.

As the couple poured tequila in glasses, Dodd said, “I need some uplifting right now because this is so insane. I know it’s somebody in my family that is putting this stuff out there. And you know who it is.”

Dodd also revealed they got an important text message on Leventhal’s phone that they plan to reveal to patreon subscribers of “The Rick & Kelly Show” on YouTube.

Prosecutors are accusing Dodd of sharing footage of a female having sex and masturbating without their consent, TMZ reported on Wednesday, citing court documents.

The former Bravo star allegedly shared the images in August 2025 which, according to prosecutors, caused the unnamed victim to suffer severe emotional distress.

Prosecutors also claim Dodd contacted the person and threatened to injure her, her property and her family, per TMZ.

The outlet also reported Dodd is facing battery charge for an alleged incident that occurred in June 2025 with a different person.

In total, Dodd is currently facing three misdemeanor charges and possible jail time, according to TMZ.

Page Six has reached out to Dodd’s rep for comment.
