Kelly Rizzo hit back at critics who believe she moved on from her late husband, Bob Saget, “too fast.”

The “Eat Travel Rock” star said in a TikTok video Sunday that people have “no place and no right” to comment on her new relationship with Breckin Meyer because they have no idea what it is like to lose a spouse.

“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,” she began the nearly five-minute video.

“You just don’t understand the incredibly complex and difficult and dynamic thoughts and feelings that come up during this entire process,” she said in a TikTok video.

“But there are some people who just love to talk.”

She added, “You just don’t understand the incredibly complex and difficult and dynamic thoughts and feelings that come up during this entire process.”

Rizzo, 44, said she still feels “guilt” following the January 2022 death of the 65-year-old “Full House” star from a brain bleed, but she did not contemplate dating anyone until well after the loss.

She explained that she didn’t start dating until 18 months after Saget died.

“I didn’t personally get to that point until well after a year after Bob had passed,” she explained of her decision to put herself back into the dating pool.

“And then I didn’t start dating until 18 months or so after Bob passed.”

Weeks later, the couple attended a friend’s wedding together in Mexico and were photographed passionately kissing at the event.

The “Unfiltered with Kelly Rizzo” star told her TikTok followers that she has received the blessing of Saget’s daughters —  Aubrey, 37, Lara, 34, and Jennifer, 31 — but admitted feeling “really weird about it.”

“In my situation, it was Bob’s daughters, Bob’s friends,” she explained. “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 [have] peace with it in your heart,” she said, adding that there is “no room for judgment” for her decisions.

Saget was previously married to screenwriter Sherri Kramer, with whom he shares his daughters. They divorced in 1997.

The “Fuller House” alum met Rizzo in 2015, and they married three years later in a beachside ceremony in Santa Monica, Calif.
