Yesterday, ABC announced that Michael Strahan was leaving Live with Kelly and Michael for Good Morning America in September. Shortly after the announcement, there were rumors that Kelly Ripa was blindsided by the news and wasn’t happy about it.
This morning she was a no show, and it seems to confirm the rumors. According to TMZ, she feels betrayed by the whole situation and is furious about it. Then they added that even though they seem to have a lot of chemistry on the show, it was all a show and the two didn’t get along.
When will she back in the seat? At this point, we don’t know.
Does she have a right to be upset? Yes and no. He is going on to a better position but in the real world, this happens all the time. The big boss promotes an employee and doesn’t tell anyone it is going to happen until it does. Granted that seems to be ABC’s way of handling things now, ie Castle’s firings and the replacement of ABC’s Network President. If they keep that up, the morale at the company will be a lot like Ripa’s.
