Ryan Seacrest’s fans are urging him to stand up to Kelly Ripa.
Eagle-eyed viewers of Live With Kelly and Ryan noticed that whenever Seacrest talks, Ripa cuts him off and refuses to listen to him.
According to National Enquirer, Seacrest’s supporters want the American Idol host to remind Seacrest that they are equals on the show.
“You need to tell Kelly to stop interrupting you. That’s very rude,” one of his fans said.
A fan of Ripa also slammed her idol by saying that even though she adores Mark Consuelos's wife, it would still be nice if she lets Seacrest finish his story.
“I agree one million percent. It would sure be nice to hear Ryan finish a story. After they got back in the studio, you can tell Ryan just kind of holds his breath,” the fan said.
A source for the tabloid claimed that Seacrest has grown weary of playing junior to Ripa ever since he replaced Michael Strahan on the show.
“Ryan has been deferential to Kelly for years. But he’s a powerful television figure himself, having launched the Kardashians and other shows. He’s ready to walk if she doesn’t show him more respect,’ the source said.
Meanwhile, this isn’t the only rumor surrounding Seacrest and Ripa. In June, Life & Style claimed that Ripa couldn’t contain her excitement after learning that there was a possibility for Seacrest to be replaced from the show. After all, he’s allegedly accused of sexual misconduct.
More specifically, Ripa is allegedly eyeing Jerry O’Connell to replace Seacrest. However, one year has already passed but Seacrest is still hosting Live With Kelly and Ryan.
Additionally, National Enquirer alleged that Seacrest and Ripa never really got along. After all, the former couldn’t stand the latter’s behavior. So, he’s allegedly planning on leaving the talk show for good.
However, this rumor was proven to be incorrect because Seacrest is still hosting the show with Ripa.
As of late, it’s also unclear whether the co-hosts already talked about their issues. And it’s also unclear if Seacrest was really offended by Ripa’s behavior. After all, it’s possible that his fans are the only ones who are upset.
So, it’s all a matter of watching the upcoming episodes of Live With Kelly and Ryan and seeing whether there are changes in the interactions of the two hosts.
