Kissing an animal exposes a person (and her children) to all sorts of viruses and bacteria that they have no immunity built up for. I’ve never seen a talk show host go on the next show and trash a former guest. It was homophobia plain and simple. She made her living sucking face with strangers on the Soaps, now she’s worried about a little external hand? She has not class. I’m so glad Kathy Lee is back in the big time. She is a natural. Kelly comes off very calculating and guarded … she’s a phony.

Kelly Ripa has never deserved to have that job in the first place. She’s a whiny, little no-talent and Regis deserved better, period. As for Clay and Rosie, I would not want either of their hands over my mouth. Most gay people gross me out. Oh yeah, I said it! GROSS,GROSS,GROSS!!!

totally agree with Aletta, I wouldn’t want someone to put their hand over my mouth, especially someone I barely know. Regis and Kelly are good friends and relationship is different. Any any case, I would do exactly what she did and said.

I just read the other comments and I believe those people are foolish and so very stupid. I mean, if some one put their hand on my month I wouldn’t care if they were gay, straight, clean as can be, I would have and have said the same thing. I don’t think she is a hypocrite because kissing an animal is entirely different then having some ones, possibly dirty hands on your mouth. In fact his hands weren’t clean just because the fact that he was shaking peoples hands and you know it was flu season. Even if what she claimed, was the reason wasn’t true, she had every right to be mad because he had no right to put his hands on her. I don’t even let my family touch my face. Oh, and Rosie was ridiculous and rude for claiming that Kelly was homo phobic. I should add the fact that Rosie said Clay was gay, I don’t remember Clay ever stating he was gay or straight. Plus, Rosie was trying to defend him, but instead said, If he were straight and a good looking man, Kelly would have had no problem with this. Her saying this meant she was calling him UGLY!

I was always a fan of Kelly until the Clay incident. She talked about him on the next show when he couldn’t respond which is in-excusible. She should go on Clay websites and see the montage about where his hands have been.—Such as holding children, Ambassador for Unicef, Head of the Bubel-Aiken Foundation which he started for autistic kids, the camps he started for kids with special needs. He has alays used his fame as a chance to help people. She should go to a concert and watch him pick someone up from a wheelchair and dance with them. He is such a role model, and wonderful human being who cares so much for the less fortunate as well as his fans.
Kelly could take some lessons from him and wish her hands had been where his have been—doing good for mankind.
She has lost me as a fan over this incident. She needs to apologize to Clay in person, but of course she never thinks
she can be wrong. People cannot forgive her of this incident because she acted like a Diva, and she has lost many fans. Clay was the wrong one to pick on with all his fans, and she will end up paying for this mistake.

Kelly Ripa is such a hypocrite! I bet if Bo Bice put his hand over her mouth, she’d never say a WORD.

I like Clay. He was sweet to send her flowers and apologize. Shame on Kelly. She exploited the entire situation for no reason.

I wish Regis would replace her!

I tottally agree with you, not only is Kelly Ripa an hypocrite, she is a premadonna,,,
She herself as put her hand over Regis mouth on more than one occation.. She has lost me as a fan Lisa

There was also an episode where Kelly kissed a seal on the mouth.
“Hey Kelly…you don’t know where that seals mouth has been.”
(what a hypocrite!)
