Kelly Ripa called out Kathie Lee Gifford for commenting negatively about her new book when the former Live!<\/em> host never actually read it. In fact, Ripa thinks Gifford wouldn’t actually have a problem with what she said about Regis Philbin.<\/p>\n

“I take his side… in most of the chapter,” Ripa declared on Tuesday’s episode of Dear Media’s Not Skinny But Not Fat <\/em>podcast.<\/p>\n

Last week, Gifford said she’s “not gonna read” Ripa’s book LiveWire<\/em> because of anecdotes the television personality made about Philbin. Gifford, who co-hosted Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee <\/em>from 1985 to 2000, was “dear friends” with her former co-star up until his death in 2020.<\/p>\n

“I was very sorry to see the headlines,” Gifford said on Fox 5’s Good Day New York<\/em>, adding that she hoped Philbin’s widow, Joy, and his four adult children wouldn’t see what Ripa had to say. “Lord, protect Joy and the girls from this… In all the years I’ve known him, I never saw him unkind to anybody.”<\/p>\n

Ripa was surprised to learn what Gifford had to say. The morning show host asked husband Mark Consuelos if there were bad headlines about herself and Philbin she somehow missed \u2014 “because I do miss a lot” \u2014 but she realized “there were none.” Ripa said it was Gifford who ironically “created” the headlines.<\/p>\n

“Here’s what I’ve decided. Are you ready? It is really hard to sell a book,” Ripa added. “And this is like week three of the book, right? And I mean, honestly, I’m not gonna lie, I was not reading any headlines anywhere. And suddenly all of these headlines pop up and there’s all of this attention on my book. So I am a person that tends to take a negative and turn it into a positive.”<\/p>\n

Ripa continued, “My ultimate comment is, thank you. I mean, it’s like really hard to get attention on a book that’s been out for a couple of weeks and now it’s week two, second week on the New York Times<\/em> Best Sellers list. It’s like, thank you, because I think that people that read the book will have a very different take on the book!”<\/p>\n
