Kelly Ripa Calls Out Ryan Seacrest For A Petty Jab At Andy Cohen
Huff PostThere's apparently some petty drama between Ryan Seacrest and Andy Cohen, which Kelly Ripa is not having. The “Live with Kelly and Ryan” co-host claimed to Kelly Ripa during their talk show Tuesday that he was snubbed by Andy Cohen while the two were filming opposing New Year’s Eve specials last week. Seacrest hosted ABC’s “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve,” which was apparently taped less than 10 feet away from the CNN New Year’s Eve special that Cohen hosted with Anderson Cooper. Cohen responded to the allegation on Wednesday’s episode of SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live” by saying Seacrest has “a bug up” about him and that he had no intention of brushing him off. The two hosts worked the same New Year’s Eve specials last year, but Cooper and Cohen had a bit too much to drink, which led to Cohen doing a few regrettable things live on air — including gesturing to ABC’s “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” taping and referring to it as “Ryan Seacrest’s group of losers.” Cohen later apologized for the diss, but his loose lips led to CNN imposing a drinking ban on its hosts during the broadcast last weekend.
