Clay and Kelly debacle..

What do you guys think of the Clay Aiken, Kelly Ripa thing??

Kelly just called into the view and had it out with Rosie. Whoa!

Any opinions?

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

Because of Kellys comment about not knowing where his hand has been..

Rosie thinks it was a homophobic comment..Kelly called to defend herself. Rosie conducted herself very well..imo..Kelly did not.

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

Yes..

Kelly said it was NOT a homophobic comment and she was hurt by rosies comment. She said Clay was disrespectful and it was not called for.

She was really heated.

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

IMO it can only be one of two things:

1) She is homophobic

2) She thinks she is all that...but she is not.

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

oh I missed it

I don't think kelly not wanting clay's hands in her face and commenting that she doesn't know where they have been has anything to do with homophobia

what did kelly say back?

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

She said she was one of the only talk show hosts not to question Clays sexuality.

I tend to believe it was a homophobic comment. I dont think she would have said that to any other male co host. And when she said it, she smirked at the audience. If you watch the whole thing, she was really mean to Clay the entire time, I have no idea why.

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

IMO, Ripa did nothing wrong.

If some guy (homosexual or straight) put his hand on my MOUTH, I'd be mighty disgusted.

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

Its like she lost her mind or something. She is definately going over the top.

If Regis would have done that to her, I am sure no such comment would have been made.

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

Its not a comment about his sexuality - if a straight guy did it, she would probably have said the same thing.

its her show, not his, and to go on Regis and Kelly (not Regis and Clay) and act like that and cover her mouth when she is on air is unprofessional!

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

I think the point is that Regis never would have done that.

Clay was a guest on her show and when she was asking questions to a guest he covered her mouth so he could talk.

I would be ticked at anyone who did that to me.

I said on the other board, I saw the episode when it was live and I thought she was annoyed, but rebounded okay. There didn't seem to be any other hostilty for the rest of the show.

But I have to say I would have felt the same way. Then let it go.

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

Did you see the whole show though?

See, before I saw the whole thing...I thought she was dead wrong. But the whole show, she hardly let him speak. She never does that to any other co hosts. It was like she had it in for him for some reason.

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

how can she be homophobic if clay aiken isnt officially out of the closet?

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

I am watching it on You Tube now!

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

i think she comes off as a major b*tch.
she is WAYYY overreacting IMO.

so that happened right... talk to him after the show about it.

dont keep rehashing it by A)talking about it on your show thenext day(when he nis NOT there to defend himself or apologize) B)by calling up the view to cause even more drama over it

she really was being a b*tch to him. he was just trying to be funny and then she said thats a "no no" and he said "uh oh im in trouble".... meaning like "oh i didnt mean to upset you" at least thats how i percieved it...

she didnt have to say with that shi**y grin on her face "i dont know where your hand has been"

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

Her perkiness irritates me and I don't get the appeal of her. that said, I'd be ****** if anyone - man, woman, straight, gay - put their hand over my mouth to quiet me down. Especially at work - that is so unprofessional and wildly inappropriate.

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

I read this and thought, "I wonder why this wasn't moved to the celeb board..." then when I clicked it shut POOF! it was gone from NFR

Re: Clay and Kelly debacle..

What he did was 100% wrong. You don't cover the hosts mouth on their show.

Personally-I dont' think the comment was homophobic by itself- but the person it was said to and the look she gave to the audience afterwards definitely looked like it could have been a reference to his sexuality. Like saying a comment like that to Colin Farrel vs. that comment being made to Tom Hanks. It has a different interpretation based on who it is said to.
