Kelly Ripa is Allegedly Protesting ‘Live With Kelly & Michael’

Date:

Kelly Ripa is allegedly upset that Michael Strahan is leaving ‘Live With Kelly & Michael’

Yesterday, ABC announced Michael Strahan will leave his job as co-host of LIve with Kelly & Michael to become a full-time host on Good Morning America. This shocking to a lot of people including Strahan’s co-host, Kelly Ripa, who TMZ claims found about it at the same time as everyone else and was never given a warning. And apparently, Ripa is not too happy.

Our ABC sources say Kelly — and virtually everyone on her show — feels Disney has screamed to the world they don’t care about ‘Live’ … their singular focus is breathing life into ‘GMA’, which has lost a big chunk of its audience over the last year.

We’re told there’s serious talk about giving ‘Live’ the boot at 9 AM and adding a third hour to GMA. It’s unclear if Disney is eyeing a time slot later in the morning for Kelly’s show. It’s pretty incredible, since ‘Live’ has been super successful on Kelly’s watch.

Ripa was so unhappy, apparently, she didn’t show up to work today, leaving Strahan to walk out with Ana Gasteyer and make this awkward statement that Kelly is “off today.”

Unfortunately, things may get even more awkward as time passes on, as TMZ reports that Ripa feels “disrespected and humiliated” and may be a no-show “for the foreseeable future.”

Things just got a lot more interesting.
