Kelly Ripa Leaves ‘Live’ Set

November 27, 2007 | Celebrity Scandals

Kelly Ripa's working vacation in the Bahamas was briefly put on hold today after she suddenly fell ill during a live taping.

The daytime TV darling had to be escorted from the “Live! With Regis and Kelly” set during a commercial break and could not finish the show.

Regis Philbin and Kelly took their show to the Atlantis Resort this week. In a show that airs Thursday, Kelly and her sons, Joaquin and Michael, had enjoyed a day of swimming with the dolphins before her scare.

“Extra” was with Kelly as she swam when she joked that her wetsuit was too small.

“It was tight, and I started thinking I couldn’t breathe very well,” she said. “I really felt ill there for a while.”

Then, live on-air, Kelly was floored by an apparent flu emergency and the show had to go on without her.

“She had a little stomach flu, I gather,” said Regis. “I thought she was pretty brave to come out and try to finish the whole show, but under the sun and everything, I guess she got a little warm. So we’re expecting her back.”

Kelly is expected to return to TV tomorrow.

Wow I hadn’t seen her in a while and just the other day I saw her on TV and I was shocked at how skinny she is. It’s ashame how hollywood drives you to be so thin your bones stick out.
I like thin too but I think she has gone over board.

She is the white version of Sherri Shepherd.Big mouth and nary a brain.

Clay Aiken finally did what many others wanted to do.

She has that phoney smile and cleverly masks her GED education.

She’s got anorexia people, have u seen her legs? They’re matchsticks. She’s disgustingly thin…she’ not “fit” or “healthy”. Being that thin makes her look Old and gnarly…i think i’d rather do Regis than her!

Kelly Ripa needs help. She looks frighteningly thin. She does not look good at all. If I were her mother, I’d be worried about her health. I hope her family is trying to get her help. I can’t even watch Regis and Kelly anymore because of how ill Kelly looks.

I have seen her through the years. At one time, she looked great. I’m a dietitian and I’m all for eating healthy and working out but it does appear that she may have taken it to extremes. She has never looked as bad as she does now. I can recall her looking healthy and fit a few years ago but it doesn’t seem like it’s in her “genes,” to look this thin. Back in her earlier years, she had more meat. Working out requires eating a bit more. Add protein and healthy fats. She looks like a five year old.

you know what..you all just want someone to pick on. Kelly Rippa is fit and healthy. I don’t see any bones sticking out. You are all just jealous because you all can’t seem to get a handle on moderation. Kelly and lots like her have learned that.

What has happened to Kelly??? I haven’t watched the show in a long time until this morning.
She looks like a skeleton! Does she know she has a problem???
Is anyone concerned?

I read a comment that Kelly said her daughter will never hear her say “do I look fat?” that is really scary and what about will her daughter hears “am I anorexic?” Maybe things are taken a bit too far. The pressure her daughter will be under is going to be a tough one.

saw her in person and you can see her bones…not healthy! Remember TV adds 10 pounds to a person…so try to imagine what she really looks like.
It is scary!!

Give me a break everyone. I bet not a single one of you are 5’3”, and works out at least 3-5 times a week. Give it a try. I can’t believe people start throwing out the anorexic card every time someone looks fit. She has an average frame for her height. Remember… it’s not normal to be 5’3” and 150 lbs. It seems that is what America is thinking is normal these days. Super size is OUT people.

Here’s the low-down on Ms. Ripa…..she (like all of the other famous people) have become so “Godly”, that when something “humanistic” happens to them, i.e. catching a bug, picking a nose etc., everyone watching (including themselves) is so shocked that they have to interview all witnesses to get every perspective on what MUST have happened to this Godly Human. Perhaps she is pregnant again? lol

Good well soon, Kelly. If anyone has followed your career through out the years, they know you are not anorexic.You are just a petite lady.
