<p id=”par-2_43″>Dodd faces charges of “unlawfully and intentionally” distributing sexual images and footage of a woman. She allegedly captured the footage without the woman’s consent, causing emotional distress. She also reportedly agreed to keep the images private and threatened the woman and her family.</p>

She reportedly feels confident that the case will be dismissed. Dodd said she finds the entire case ridiculous.</p>
<p id=”par-4_36″>“It’s an absolute joke that prosecutors are pursuing this case instead of going after real criminals with real victims,” she told <a href=”https://www.tmz.com/2026/05/28/kelly-dodd-denies-revenge-porn-charges/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>TMZ</a>. “We can’t go into detail on the case because of this afternoon’s court appearance.”</p>
