Guess who was a no-show at Live With Kelly And Michael for a second time this week? Kelly Ripa.
And according to reports, she may not return to the show until Tuesday.
TMZ: Kelly Ripa Is Salty About Michael Strahan’s Departure
Entertainment Tonight reports that a statement from “Live” reads:
“On (Thursday’s) Live! with Kelly and Michael, Erin Andrews will guest co-host with Michael Strahan. Friday’s show — which already was scheduled to pre-tape on Thursday — also will be co-hosted by Andrews,” the network revealed in a statement. “Kelly Ripa will be out on Friday and Monday for a previously-scheduled vacation. On Monday’s show, Michael will be joined by Pretty Little Liars star Shay Mitchell.”
(Side-eye at “previously scheduled vacation.)
ET has also reported that a source from the “Live” show says that Ripa is pissed and has threatened not to return until Strahan is gone. Micahel is scheduled to go full-time at GMA this fall.
Looks like Oprah takes Kelly Ripa’s side in the drama.
