Kelly Ripa hits back at critic who says she, Ryan Seacrest have a ‘lack of personal care’ on ‘Live’


Kelly Ripa knows how to handle trolls.

On Monday, the former soap star, 49, took to Instagram to share a promo for the upcoming season of “Live with Kelly and Ryan.”

In the clip, Ripa and her co-host Ryan Seacrest can be seen waking up and continuing about their morning routines in preparation for a day of shooting.

Included in the video is a shot of Ripa brushing her teeth rather roboticly while wearing pajamas, where she put her pleasure into the title.

“I swear I don’t brush my teeth like that,” read her title. “#KellyandRyan is coming back this fall!”

A social media user took to the comments to share some not-so-nice thoughts about the show’s hosts, who have been kicked out of their respective homes due to the coronavirus pandemic lockdowns.

“The only issue I have with this show (and I see it every day because I’m home today) is the lack of personal care,” she wrote. “I mean, it’s a national television show. And I have to get dressed for every Zoom call, so why can you not.”

Always a quick wit and never one to leave a comment like that to not comment, Ripa shoots back at the critic with a joke.

“I will record it at the next meeting,” she replied.

In May, a similar dust-up occurred with a viewer when viewers made comments about her being shinier than normal at carpets at home.

“I do not give up. I have a new outlook on life,” Ripa revealed back in an interview with People. “Certain things no longer matter and my appearance is one of those things that just does not matter.”

Ripa’s co-host Ryan Seacrest, 45, told the mother of three that “once in a while” viewers describe the pair as “shining in our DIY show process,” aroused by Ripa’s response, who said that the audience should be ‘Happy’ they were even dressed for the home broadcasts.

“Let me first say, to people who have their comments about our appearance: How dare you and you are lucky that we actually wear clothes,” she said. “It’s harder than you think to roll out of bed and go to a TV show.”

“It’s a disaster!” Seacrest some.

In fact, Ripa is so obsessed with the self-glam process that she “pulls the laptop into bed so close.”

But rest assured that Ripa “will not do that because I keep telling myself, ‘You’re a professional and this is still a TV show and the days are matter,'” she said. “It’s my mantra.”
