The producer recently blasted critics for saying she moved on from the Full House star too quickly.

Reacting in a TikTok, she said people had “no place and no right” to comment on their relationship as they have no idea about the level of her pain over Bob’s death.

Rizzo 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% 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.”

Rizzo added in her five-minute clip she still feels “guilt” following the death of Saget — 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 shock 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.”

Rizzo and Breckin 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 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.”

Rizzo 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.”

Saget and Rizzo married in 2018, three years after they met.
