About The Rick & Kelly Show:
Kelly and I are really excited to launch this project together, our own show where we can both say ANYTHING and EVERYTHING on our minds without fear of retribution from any corporate bosses. My wife Kelly Leventhal (professionally known as Kelly Dodd) is a bona-fide reality star famous for her raw and unfiltered take on every situation.
Her no-holds-barred style earned her the title of the "most real" of the Real Housewives of Orange County the past five seasons, but also cost her tens of thousands of dollars in fines from the network! Together, we have countless tremendously entertaining stories to tell and can't wait to share them with you every single week! Subscribe now and be part of our podcast family!

[@mariedrawer4967]

Wow, never thought I would like Jim Bellino! He takes care of his family and makes sure the mother of his children is taken care of. Real man shit.

[@debbieworthington6151]

Well said!

[@brunymunoz3369]

What a great and decent guy that wasn’t afraid to speak his truth. I give him all the respect. Thanks for this episode…I never saw it on your Daily Smash 👏❤️👏

[@danielhughes6850]

I can totally understand why Tamras husband Simon came across as miserable and unhappy on TV. None of us realised how awful of a person Tamra was at the time and the poor man was broken

[@caroljeanracacho2678]

I agree 💯

[@debbieworthington6151]

Yeah, I can see it too! Tamara was rotten from beginning, just hid it until she couldn't! Like her children. How do we know the truth? One sided! ANYWAYS, WE. SEE. YOU NOW TAMARA!!

[@palmtreesky]

I love this. Why did it cut off abruptly when it started to get good. More interviews like this please.

[@karengrunch8115]

The rest is probably on Patreon. It’s a trick to get us to join it! lol

[@allovertheshopmum]

Yeh what a shame:( .. as made this interview leave on a weird note.. just as it was getting good too.

[@Sin-D_]

Thanks, im not wasting my time watching

[@stoots007]

Ohhh so now we know Alexis broke up with John Jansen.

[@Jennifer-pl6do]

He's a good Dude

[@LoriPlourde-vb1xs]

Wow!! I am so glad I saw this because I always thought that Jim Bellino was a jerk, I no longer feel this way, he's a really great guy!!

[@cyndiadawsonhammonds93]

I'm glad that Jim is here to tell his.. Wow, did I get a different impression...

[@TranslaingMama]

The very end of the interview, he won me over ❤ his generosity with Alexis - for the benefit of his kids - choosing to show his kids that mom and dad can get along (so healthy!) and embracing his trans child with love - because that’s his kid!! ♥️ GREAT interview you two ❤

[@WildyWendy]

This was a good interview. I feel like I got an idea of who Jimmis. What a hardworking businessman. Good for him.

[@doloresrodriguez6715]

I'm glad you did this interview with Jim Bellino. Your interview showed me a whole different side to him. He is a likable guy. It can't be good for him that Shannon and Alexis are talking about the lawsuit on the show.

[@colleenmoore7053]

I agree. Just started it and I'm immediately seeing him completely different.

[@elektrablacksky]

When he started tearing up that broke my heart

[@roselacerda7080]

I DON'T KNOW WHY TAMARA ITS BACK ON THE SHOW SHE ALWAYS BEEN VICIOUS

[@pjt3887]

Especially when her exit off the show was her crying in the bushes. 😂 She's too nasty. I'm just glad people are starting to realize she has to attack everyone on the show because she doesn't have anything going on in her life. She also doesn't want anyone taking a closer look at her proud boy son who likes to beat on his significant others.

[@joannepereira5080]

I think she got worse I can’t stand her

[@andreagrubbs670]

Tamara is not a good person. I think Vicki is a good person but she is persuaded easily by people like Tamara. I wished Jim would tell us about that lady that came on as a friend and said she dated Jim. He was not having it! 😂

[@LunMi-wn2il]

Vicki is not easily persuaded! She has a very harsh personality and is not a good person also!

[@PT-tw6kg]

Tamara is pure trash.

[@cynthiasmith4130]

Tamara is a witch. Vicki is nuts. Never watch !!!!

[@DawneMyers]

In my opinon Vicki is easily persuaded by people like brooks and tamera. Sad the crap Vicki went through because of both of them!​@@LunMi-wn2il

[@tranquilityseeker581]

The man is being honest. I appreciate that.

[@jacquelineharriette2896]

What an amazing home. John Jansenb will never provide a one like this for Alexis

[@alp7928]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@colleenmoore7053]

He wants to ensure his children are well taken care of. Much respect for him 🙏

[@djr6876]

He seems to be generous with his ex and caring towards his kids ,in a very selfless way.

[@Iamlightning333]

Kelly, yawning in the intro was hilarious and adorable! 😂 you guys have a great show on here. Love your channel ❤🎉

[@cat5298]

On the show they made him seem very controlling, and belittling, but he actually seems like an easy going good guy. Just goes to show you can’t always judge a book by its cover unless you personally know someone.

[@smokyash6139]

This interview really changed my mind on Jim Bellino he is actually a great guy . Tamara I now believe really created this Jim Bellino Villain. I am glad you all did this .

[@georgiabandbook3473]

What an intelligent, sweet, and loving man…. She had it made with him!

[@christinascibetta1043]

He was very controlling.

[@Katiekay.]

#JUSTICEFORJIM! that show sucks for trying to smear this super kind, generous, and hardworking man.... Andy if you read this I hope you know you are a schmuck and your day is coming... Jim- I dig this HONEST interview because I can now see clearly how the agenda of the bloodthirsty Bravo network inaccurately portrayed you and wrongly used your footage to paint an image of you that deeply contrasts who I see in this interview.... I'm done with them and I am proud of you for standing tall, working to repair your good name and reputation. Because to suffer the fallout of being unfairly defamed so publicly is a massively painful assault that you never deserved..... Tamara is Andy's #1... she incites the chaos and gives him exactly what he needs to edit, spin, and produce a warped depiction that leads to the assault and demolition of at least one innocent person each season....

[@missilynnbotkin2861]

TAMARAT WILL NEVER CHANGE

[@georgiabandbook3473]

Hope y’all are having fun on vacation! Thanks for the throw backs ❤

[@neenroe11]

I was just wondering if they’re even coming back to continue the Smash…been gone awhile?

[@sarariley3174]

So different to how he seemed on the show!!

[@pattistephan4163]

I really like seeing him, He made me think different of him. I liked him.. Glad he is doing well! sorry it was cut off.

[@pjt3887]

Jim appreciate you coming on and getting to hear your side of the story. Also I appreciate how well you take care of the mother of your children. I wish more men would look at it this way. What you waste at the attorney's office fighting over a few thousand dollars you could have just paid it out and kept everyone happy. People need to understand if he had to hire a nanny, cook, RN & chauffeur full time to take care of those children it probably cost him in excess of $190,000 a year so keeping your wife former wife in the style that they become accustomed to so that your child don't suffer because of it is a brilliant thing to do and I will tell you there's a lot of child psychologist out there that would applaud you sir! I meet adults all the time and they're 40s through their 60s that never got married because they watched their their mother and father fight over a divorce.😢

[@cindy7400]

Jim’s a really decent man and he’s right they never did give him a fair shake !

[@magickcat7983]

Great interview. Well done Jim Bellino. Praying for your family.

[@justlooking4771]

I was just wondering about Kelly the other day and if she still had her show! Very cool! Just subscribed! ❤

[@ellenhatfield]

I always thought he carried himself as a well-spoken, respectable man. He stayed away from the fray. He deserves only good things.

[@shellibaker5461]

happy you gave him JB this opportunity to open up i always thought he was a good man misunderstood & although he & Alexis moved on, i dont think she's moving in the right direction. I guess JB deserves better if she didnt think she had a good enough man. JB seems like a really cool dude & it is 💔 that reality show thrive on drama & tearing people down. Glad his lawsuits prevailed to slap those girls' hands & JBs answer that it wasnt about winning & his analogy on true talent fame vs reality recognition shows how down to earth he is and how absurd & damaging some of the reality cast & crew are - good interview, im sure the rest is just as good 👏🙌

[@whitneyoliver8553]

When he explains how it affects his business, I don’t blame him

[@GratefullyEducated]

Kelly cracks me up. Zero filter and let’s all hang out.

[@kimsattler7997]

Wow! I thought he was going to b a DB!!! Not the case!!! You can tell he is a God fearing man, that's for sure!!❤

[@Owldwoman61]

Glad I saw this as he didn’t come across well when he was on rhoc , but on this interview he seems like a decent guy.

[@chrisoultram9458]

I agree Jim great explanation wish all the best and family Christine from Windsor uk x

[@lynnetteturner]

Seems like a really decent man.

[@Mary_Nik1111]

❤Miss you guys, but happy you’re having a great vacation! Life’s way too short and it’s good too see you’re living your best life. R&K, God bless your marriage and family! Wasnt going to watch RHOC, but curiosity got me. Cannot stand Alexis and Tamrat is the same. 🤮 Missing our Smasher Fam too… Love ya, Robin Dickman and Lara R. too. She’s been MIA the last few weeks, but so have I. (#Life ) Lara, hope you’re still here and all is well. Stay safe, Fam and GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@UnBoxLifeWithLori]

Kelly you always look so pretty - we are about the same age, how the heck do you stay looking so young?

[@carriekay4827]

I always wondered how good a guy Jim really was...how wealthy he really was back then. I am surprised he was married with such a ding bat.

[@michellehendrix16]

Never in a million years thought I’d like Jim Bellino but here we are..much respect for this man..poor guy got a bad rap for a decade

[@Thecrombiesadventures]

Wish it didn’t cut off! Great video! You guys are great at interviews! Wish I could interview you guys or send you a million questions for you to answer haha, love you guys and I’m so nosey about your life!❤

[@denisekinzle1672]

Afrer Alexa was on the Below Deck having sex & walking around naked I knew why he left her Now shes with John who will break her heart This show beeaks up couples in purpose!

[@JMicheleS33]

Spellcheck and autocorrect are beautiful tools, proper grammar and pronunciation save lives, and I’m petty like that (my daughter’s a Senior Editor for a large magazine, so I blame her, kinda)!

[@misst8492]

​@@JMicheleS33rude clown 🤡

[@Lovesoapy]

I would love to know what JB thinks of Alexis relationship with J Janssen ??????

[@neenroe11]

I’m sure he couldn’t care less. I know I wouldn’t!! ✌🏻😉

[@josephmorinello9312]

Jim is good guy! Definitely good to see authentic interview.

[@clairedawson]

Am totally shocked 😲....how lovely is Jim...I honestly did think he was a horrible person but this has changed my view of him💙💙💙💙

[@cristleheart4266]

When you are that blessed….You gotta pay it forward!! Congratulations On your good fortune!! 💜🙏💕

[@roselacerda7080]

Great interview..it's always 3 sides of the story

[@georgiabandbook3473]

Missing the show today? Where y’all at?

[@kristenschunemann615]

It ended quick because he got emotional I believe. A good man…

[@cheribee968]

Jim Bellino was made to look ridiculous on that show. I didn’t think that was fair. Remember when jim invited frank curtain to his church when frank was really down about his eviction. I thought it was a touching thing to do and kind.

[@shannonsmith2642]

I forgot about that. That was nice of him to reach out to frank.

[@jacquelinejohnson3141]

What a wonderful father! The show definitely made Jim out to be a jerk. I’m so happy to see what a nice guy he really is and that he takes care of his family.

[@ambsie0]

I like Jim and Alexis’s dynamic. He’s seems like a nice guy.

[@lisathomas6724]

Bellino did it for the same reason they all do it. Money! If he’d have watched the 1st four seasons he’d have known exactly what it was about. It’s the same reason Dodd joined.

[@Mary_Nik1111]

Get back home,guys! We’re officially missing you now! 😢❤ FYI: Cellenda’s back in stock!!! 🎉 Question though… I’ve noticed on Rick and Kelly’s info, they no longer link Soul Life. I just placed my auto-order. Fingers crossed there’s nothing wrong. Love the Magnesium and Reform. Couldn’t tell a big difference with Rekick, as Cellenda’s been out of stock from the jump. Excited it’s returned!

[@operamom3303]

Look at the woman dramatically waving her hands in the background 🤣

[@Tomes23]

Sad about confused kids.

[@craigtrent2410]

what makes you think his kids are confused?

[@jamesgrant9858]

What makes you think otherwise

[@lillaurap]

Sad that people like you are out here judging and shaming them.

[@ShaneLee-dy4cz]

Sad that people like you exist in the world. Respect and understanding goes a long way!!

[@courtneyjackson7181]

You're a good father, Jim.

[@carolclark9434]

Jim has a great vibe!

[@ShaneLee-dy4cz]

Jim seems like a very good man who loves his kids. It’s clear to see he was edited in a bad way

[@MsGraciemacie]

I’ve always liked Jim Bellino. He got a very bad editing job on the show. Glad to see he is doing well. Hope his new restaurant Jimmy B’s does well in Downtown Palm Springs. We have a vacation home very close to his restaurant and hope to visit soon.

[@mellie7016]

He actually does seem different than he did on the show.

[@lauramoor7730]

Where are they ?

[@Meld347]

We miss you!! 😢 You have got to coordinate future trips with Heather McDonald….. because I can’t. You all were on vaca at the same time. Mornings were rough! 😭😭😂😂

Divorce is needed to be rid of bad spouses.I had given myself to first husband & now look back & realize no one can be forced to be domething they arent

He was too good for Alexis! I hope hes happy now!

[@BritneyJSpears]

[@TheBlushandGlowStudio]

Where is the entire interview??

[@loveylove337]

Jim got done like a pure dog on RHOC! I always thought he was a good man! The level of disrespect they gave to him was gross!

[@Ozzyjo]

Well Johnny J will be keeping Alexis. Apparently they are engaged. I wonder if they will make it to the Alter. And I wonder what Jim thinks about Johnny J 🤔

[@terrihudsonlenoir8577]

He's so much more than John Jansen 😂 He's a horrible person, in my opinion 😅 great interview and good for Jim...

[@dawnw.6872]

7.27.24: Miss u guys.... Come home 😅❤ Xo.

[@MothersSOS]

He is awesome 😎:))

[@Aekbonita1986]

Now that Alexis is engaged (Shannon’s ex) I wonder how the dynamic is now. Jim seems nice and John seems like a douche bag that I wouldn’t want around my children

[@joannedevine2473]

Why does this end in a cut off?

[@user-th5jx6ds4d]

I want you to recap RHOC. This is cool but kinda boring !! I love your commentary on RHOC.

[@KellyValenti-rs5uv]

I love Rick and Kelly. She's the best lol Jim is a nice guy. Alexis is terrible and doesn't stfu. Can't stand her and Tamara is vial. She's filled w hate. Very sad

[@deeperson9832]

I really enjoy y’all’s podcast ❤ I really like this guy Jim they really made him look like a jerk!!!! I loved his answer about transgender as in it’s tough at 1st but the parent side and love of your child kicks in. Unfortunately with Alexis John and Shannon I really not liking this situation they way they are treating Shannon. No respect for Alexis she’s lucky she has a good ex husband

[@christopherzorobautista5730]

If you believe everything that was said, written and watched, about this guy, you'll really have a different impression and opinion.

[@debbyshanahan8201]

Isn't it when she wasn't working but he was she was still getting paid just like vice versa he was on the show his wife was getting paid isn't it the same thing.

[@SuperJilly85]

Why is his couch covered with sheets?

[@maryjogreen1706]

Dogs?

[@Kmb893]

Wow what a nice man

[@angizulpo3430]

Haven't watched the idiocy of these franchises in years, but when I see a pic of the ladies it's super sad to see what they've don't to their faces. Kelly looks great and still normal, but many of them look lol ridiculous.

[@miningho5913]

I saw him in person years ago He seemed off and super unfriendly so I did not bother saying anything not even a hi lol 😂

[@andreagrubbs670]

Is that Alexis in the background with the hat? 👀

[@blondies2755]

I thought so, too. Even sounds like her and has her mannerisms.

[@Jaxismom]

I really liked him in the sense of you I never had a good impression of him but I really did in this interview he seems like a decent guy nothing like they betrayed him that's for sure Alexis seems to be the b****

[@JMicheleS33]

Jim is such an odd, creepy person that I don’t care for, at all, or his former wife, can’t stand her one bit, or her Johnny J!
