He resigned from Apple in summer 1985 after Jobs announced his resignation, and later worked at Silicon Graphics. In Alex Gibney's documentary Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine, Belleville said that the pressure of working at Apple had ended his marriage and that Jobs "[was always apparently] seducing you, vilifying you, or ignoring you", but he cried when he recalled working for him.
