[@deborrastrom8559]

You were naturally Funny Kelly & it came thru how genuine you were & thst makes your timing & humor natural & better than those who cannot be that. Cannot say Genuine Ness seemed to be with others on the show. Regis was funny with perfect timing, but Genuine all the time he was not. I admired you doing this job forever & being a mom on the show.

[@rmannayr2129]

GO KELLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so bored when I watch the show. Her outfitters need to change. I remember seeing her with a the same shoes f weeks. She looks so skinny. Bit unhealthy. Hope she finds something new to do one day. Her husband seems nice. Hopefully it will stick. Bless her and her family. 💌💌

[@CodyjoClay]

It's cody, was board wanted you to come home and go fishing... Gail got hacked, lol ... Long story short, she got some film developed, for me and told you came by ... I didn't know how to enter the room ... Then I had to feed my brims at the chicken farm, it called chapel valley farm.... Jessica is learning to help me feed some things, the pig went missing, made me sad... You could spend the night at Jessica I have a room there and a big pond, I got a lot to do and wanted you to spend the night over here first but I ran into you at the end of the dirt road and by June's... I gotta get to the bank with a few deposits and I went to June's and I seen you again and you were naked with a rattle snake on your leg, herd you spent the night... Any way thought you looked great.... I hope you fish but want to hold you, I love you, Kelly ... Love Cody

[@middlemarie2]

True although it is an extraordinarily well paying job.

[@charlottejones8903]

Love Kelly but yup next

[@mmctest]

Interesting, another "tell all" book about a relationship they pushed as wonderful on air and now that the other person is gone they trash for money. Seems from others coming out about her that she and her destructive narcissistic behavior was (and is?) the issue. No basic human decency there, I want be reading it or watching anything she does. Let's hope and pray for everyone especially Kelly Ripa to see the light and do the right things for everyone not just themselves. My opinion

[@bkirstie]

?

[@bettycalenzo6751]

So full of herself. Over rated

[@jonathoncardwell6786]

Hey Kelly do you get lonely at 40 something now that your youngest had left the house abd mark is out galavanting around? Cupids arrow stings..

[@davesmith3892]

She is so phony

[@tnt01]

100%

[@lizdahl847]

Right. So self righteous. All about her. Throws Regis under the bus and he isn't here to defend himself.

When are going to cancel the show. All her hosts keep leaving. Big hint. Need to end it. She's made enough money.

[@angelacarbon4010]

I like it with Mark. She's different with Mark than with other co-hosts. She doesn't act like a diva with him and she doesn't interrupt him.

[@sarabarker2219]

Kelly please just let God do his job. We all want to do Ĝods work, but that's his job. Ĺet nature take its course. NO NO NO botoxs, leave well enough alone . You will regret itt for sure my friend. LOOK AT YOUR HUSBAND, NOT GOOD AT ALL.

[@sarasmith9333]

VULGAR AND CHEAP TO SHARE INTIMACY WITH THE WORLD. WHERE IS THE MORALS OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE. ZERO ZERO ZERO. GROSS

[@liliabenavides4052]

Maybe she's got nothing else to share. Trash if you ask me.

[@christianeduardo1]

Such prude troll. Where are your morals to be criticizing others?

[@lizdahl847]

No one wants to hear about her gross sex life. She comes across like she is constantly bragging about her intimate moments.

[@laylabittle7484]

💯 how embarrassing for her kids and their friends! Always about HER!!!

[@l.c.136]

You people have no life. Sad.

[@Barbara-pr1ui]

This show is so boring. I'm surprised she's still on tv. Time to move on. 🇺🇲

A book about what ???😂

Her book is all about her. What else??

Why? Ripa got where she is today by being on her back. There is absolutely nothing special about Ripa.

[@aprilleerose]

When Kelly was younger on the show, she always talks about getting a bigger chest. I wonder why she never did it.

[@lizdahl847]

She does need some help in that department.
