Is Kelly Ripa A Hypocrite???

kkkeeeelllyyy.jpg

Kelly Ripa made a stink several months back when Clay Aiken co-hosted Live with Regis & Kelly and (in a failed attempt to be funny) covered her mouth with his hand.

"I don't know where that hand has been," shouted Ripa to the Gayken.

Her comments drew much controversy, and she eventually called in to The View to defend herself, saying that she has three kids and was concerned about germs.

Interesting thing happened, though.

On Monday, July 9th's episode race car driver Jeff Gordon was the co-host.

He accidentally drinks from her cup and apologizes. Her response? "Oh, that's ok," as she takes a sip.

So Gayken's hand is too germy, but Jeff Gordon's spit is just fine?

Seems like a double standard to us.

Rosie was right!

      She is a hypocrit big time.
      I've seen plenty of times when she's stuck her hand over Regis' mouth. He's a freakin senior citizen, I'm sure he is more worried about germs than she is. Fucking bobblehead.

      Perez, did you ever stop to think that maybe it was a BOUNDARY VIOLATION when Clay put his hand on Kelly's mouth? I would be more offended at somebody doing that than sharing my coffee cup. I don't think you can compare the two things.

      Please. She was just trying to cover up embarrassment. How would you feel if someone tried to physically shut you up on your own show? Kelly Ripa is not homophobic!

      Save it Perez, just because your gay doesn't mean everyone else is a hater. You are becoming VERY predictable in your replies to those with whom you don't like, or you have no relationship with… Stop being a P*ssy hater and grow some b*lls…

      kelly took the potshot at the gayken because he was being so incredibly rude to her throughout the show. it definitely did reference the gay rumors, but nevertheless i don't think she's homophobic; i think she was just trying to get in a good shot at him. besides, her husband's as metro as can be and she doesn't mind him!

    12. emily says – reply to this


      12

      I think the act of him putting his hand on her mouth was a disgusting act of invading her space and rudeness. She was responding to his audacity and the fact that he was being obnoxious and already on her nerves. It has nothing to do with his sexuality. I'd have decked him if he'd touched me that way.

      Actually, I don't think this means anything at all. I genuinely freak out when people put their hands on my face - especially around my mouth - but drinking after other people doesn't bother me…unless it's from a can. You're reading way too much into this whole situation.

    23. Christie says – reply to this


      23

      No she's not. I am one that watches that show. She has this thing with Jeff Gordon, like if she weren't with her husband she'd be with him. You know? Gayken was actually pretty rude with the hand that one day. So no…not a hypocrite…just doing the lame "I'm in love with you Jeff thing."

    32. Hannah says – reply to this


      32

      Perez, he put his HAND on her FACE - over her MOUTH to be exact. She obviously got very angry and flustered and came back with "I don't know where that hand has been" and fair enough, doing that is disgusting and extremely rude.

      I'm sorry but the whole world doesn't revolve around homosexuals and homophobes Perez. You want equality for homosexuals yet you are the King of making homosexuals indifferent and accusing everyone of being homophobes. Perhaps you are the hyocrite.

      37

      come on, Perez….that's taking it a bit far….
      Rosie's problem is that she thinks that if you don't like her, it's cuz she's gay. If you don't agree with her, it's cuz she's gay. If you don't want some slobby guy touchin your mouth, it's most certainly cuz he might be gay.
      She preahes toerance, but I think she needs to learn some herself.

      This is really lame… putting your hand across someone's face is totally different than taking a sip out of their cup. She doesn't have direct contact and she doesn't have to continue to drink it. This is lame perez.

    41. vancvan says – reply to this


      41

      I dont think that she's a homophobe. I DO think she's a hypocrite, though. If ANY guy put his hand on my mouth (or girl), I would not pleased. However, with Kelly, I think it was more about the person than their sexual orientation. I think she's a snob. Clay is beneath her whereas Jeff Gordon? I'm sure she knows her place when it comes to putting him in an awkward position.

      42

      i think what sucks about this, is that kelly ripa is totally not a homo-hater, and in fact from what i've seen and read, she seems to me to be an ally. but peeps get on her for just checking on some fool who comes on *her* show and tries to shut her up physically. even if it was intended to be playful, it's a bit socially re-re and i'd have checked him too. as for someone unintentionally picking up your cup and drinking from it. …that's physically totally different than someone putting their hand in yo face!

      Plus Clay obviously has an ego problem where he believes he is entitled to put his limbs wherever he pleases. Example 1) Kelly Rippas mouth on television 2) On an elderly womans arm rest on a plane.

      Isn't it hypocritical of Perez to call CLAY THE GAYKEN? But when someone who is straight makes a remark (not even homophobic) Perez turns them into a monster and accuses them of homophobia, double standards?

      55

      The difference is that Jeff Gordon accidentally drank from her cup and then gave her the choice to be exposed to the cup that his saliva had come into contact with.
      Your hand comes into contact with many more germs over the course of the day. Doorknobs, tabletops etc. and you can transport germs on your hand that can make someone else ill even if you yourself aren't. You're not going to catch anything from coming into contact with another person's saliva unless the person has a serious illness that is contagious [like HIV] or unless they're demonstrably ill themselves which is a major difference.
      Not to mention that Clay Aiken completely violated her personal space when he put his hand over her mouth. And when he put his hand over her mouth it was at the end of winter when the likelihood of being subjected to illness was that much greater.
      She's not a hypocrite at all.

      i'm gay and i don't think she's a homophobe. plus, jeff gordon is rumored to be gay. perhaps she didn't want to stir anything up by not drinking out of it…because then you guys would post saying she was a bitch for not drinking after him. now she's a bitch because she did. lame. tired.

      I can not believe that nobody has called Audrey out on her comment about Clay having AIDS. Talk about a stereotypical comment about gay men. Even if that were the case and he were hiv+, the disease is not transmitted in that manner. It boggles my mind that such ingorance sitll persists in this country and that seemingly open minded people do nothing to stop it be perpetuated.

      I wouldn't let Clay touch my mouth either. And I think it is fairly obvious that the reason Kelly was pissed was because Clay was taking the power away from her. I would be too.

      umm, he's not even offically out of the closet yet. I love Rosie but she completely "outed" him by claiming Kelly was homophobic. And I do't know if you saw the entire episode before the hand incident but he was a complete dick on HER show. He wasn't funny and was pushing her buttons, if that was me I would have juno chopped his ass! And btw how do you expect to be viewed equally if YOU'RE always the one looking for the prejudice in every straight/gay encounter…mcCarthyism n e one?

    66. Jack says – reply to this


      66

      It has nothing to do with germs, or being gay. It's disrespectful to put your hand over someone else's mouth in order to shut them up. To do it when you're a guest on their show is doubly so. Chill and stop playing the "gay" card!

      For example: Just because you have sex with one man, does that mean that you'd have sex with any man? Ok, bad example.

      Clay's nasty, plain and simple. She doesn't like him, and neither does anybody else.

      There is a big difference between putting your hand over someone's mouth and accidently drinking someone else's coffee. The first is absolutely outright RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL to do to anybody Gay or Straight and Kelly was being nice saying that "she didnt know where that hand had been" and making a joke out of it-because that deserved a lesson in manners.

      Maybe, just maybe, because of all the back-lash and harsh critisim she got last time, she just decided to blow it off. . .no everything people say is a gay slur, or a rasist remark. . .and I think the sensitivity level needs to mellow out a bit. . .not everything is up for controversy. . .

      And as a side note, Clay's gross weathers he's gay or not, nobody cares about his sexuality, and I think it's about time, people just say so what and move on. . .For "outing" as many people as you do, when people don't want their bedroom so public, you sure make everything a straight person does to a gay person a homophobic problem. . .

      Grow up, gay is who you are. . .but I'm sure it's not you're only definition, just like straight is but a mear fraction of mine. . .a minor detail. . .you want equality, act like what you do is important, and don't use it as an excuse to be rude and critical. . .
