Kelly Ripa Opens Up About Regis Philbin | WWHL

[@catydee6241]

I am not the biggest KR fan, but I can appreciate that she was in an impossible situation when Regis began stating publicly that a) the show never asked him back and b) Kelly never spoke to him again after he left. Both of these claims were technically untrue, but if KR were to say something at the time, she would essentially be saying that Regis was lying. If she stayed silent (which she did until the book) it would seem like his claims were true. Regis was in his mid 80s when he spoke about this, and he was beloved by the public. It would have been hard to correct him. Although ABC tried when they put out footage of him returning to LIVE for a Halloween show. In that same footage he is seen talking to and joking with Kelly backstage. When Regis passed, Kelly had to comment on his death (how could she not they worked together for a decade) and to her credit, she never brought up the things he said. I really can’t blame her for telling her side of the story now in her book. There are always two sides to every story. Perhaps the truth is somewhere in the middle.

[@kathybutterfield2760]

He hinted the last few years what a diva, NJ low class grabber of perks she is. He said she's one way on camera, another off.

[@robinprice3663]

Why would Regis lie about this situation? Kelly shows her true colors when the attention is not focused on her. She showed ger true colors when she threw a fit and refused to go to work for 2 days when Michael Strahan left for GMA. She is making 20 million dollars per year. What else does she want for chatting for an hour a day? Many people work very hard each day for very little money. Sad she has to tear down Regis after he has passed on. 😢

[@Mike-wf1nm]

Puhleeeeze.

[@emiliosemporium3977]

I want to know where she showed love to Regis in the book. I read it and can’t find where she shows love. More like tossing him under a bus.

[@susand.6094]

She didn’t say she showed love….I read it too.

[@jennifershaw2796]

Please! She’s not a nice person. Know people that worked with her! I believe Regis over her any day!

[@George-jr7vv]

I cant stand her. Cry me a freaking river. Regis was an icon and she was very lucky to get that gig that changed her life in ways no other soap star had gotten. She makes 23 mllon a year and is a narcissist..why did Michael Strahan run from her as fast as he did? Kelly sorry it seems like ur the problem. How dare u talk about Regis like that

[@kathygordon4444]

Regis, and Michael left the show because of her. After awhile you need to ask yourself, who is the common denominator

[@kathybutterfield2760]

And now Ryan is leaving.... She's a diva and egotistical. She's always grabbing free items from the show, and she's rich. She complains about being on the show, soooo hard! Though she's paid $20 million a year.

I liked Kelly in this interview. I think she and Andy would make great co-hosts on a show.

[@kailynbrennan1412]

She’s using Regis to publicize her book for financial gain. It’s really disgusting. Regis would’ve had no reason to lie. I completely believe that she was icy towards him after he retired. She had the same reaction to Michael Strahan’s departure. Thinking that they owed her a heads up or explanation before making their own personal choice to move on is ridiculous. She wasn’t Regis’ or Michael’s boss, and she wouldn’t be anywhere without Regis. She’s not doing anything to help herself by trying to drag Regis down after his death. It only makes her look petty and conceited. She should be ashamed of herself

[@N4divers]

Transparency to make yourself look good and throw a person no longer here under the bus. It's a shame we can't hear his side of the story but then again im sure thats why she's saying this now and not when he was alive

[@maryd7081]

You are 💯% right. Also Regis was a kind gentleman he would never say a bad word about anyone R.I.P Regis

[@L93CABOOSE]

What has this done to his wife Joy? If there were things that happened, let them go quietly. Regis is not here. No one is perfect. She didn’t need to do this. It’s attention seeking ego and she now gets to script everything from her perspective. Regis was loved and respected by so many people. What about Michael Strahan? I think there is much more to this than she admits.

[@jad8123]

I haven’t read the book & probably won’t but is it true she doesn’t mention Strahan at all? How can she do an “autobiography” & not discuss it? I mean I know she can but how could she not mention it?

[@bolynn9668]

I like Kelly bc she’s funny, works hard and really made a life/family for herself with Mark. Even when Regis went on about ND/football etc (borrrrrring!!) it was admirable that her eyes didn’t glaze over. He was a funny man but clearly a handful to endure. And prettiest shoes EVER!!💜💜💜 with love from 🇨🇦

[@ph2492]

I'm sure nobody held a gun to head but that she applied for the position, I'm not in to football either but it never bothered him talking about it and she could've always quit. All i saw was her having FUN hosting the show, if she was so fake about the friendship what ever she says can't be trusted, the show has never been as good after Regis left.

I really like Kelly Ripa. She was very honest about Regis Philbin. There are some people who don’t consider other people their friends either because they don’t know them or feel like they have enough people in their life and that’s ok. People can respect other people, but they’re not obligated to trust or be friends with other people. Who’s invited into their life is their choice. Kelly Ripa is such an honest and genuine woman who I can’t stop watching on tv.

[@mooney341]

everyone's entitled to their story and this is a most "friendly" platform for this. Love her or hate her she's been a success at the post Regis show. The only thing that has to stick with any fair minded person....This went down with Regis AND it went down with Michael Strahan...so forget about all that and her side is accurate. Self serving to be sure and she's entitled to it, i may be the contrarian but NO i'm not buying the book and haven't watched the show since Regis left. Also BTW i think Andy and Anderson both auditioned for the role as Co Host pre Strahan pre Ryan or both times.

Kelly Rippa constantly watches herself on the show “Kelly and Ryan”. It’s kinda embarrassing. It’s hard to pay attention to what she’s saying when she constantly looks at the monitors. Ryan barely does it.
