Kelly Ripa's Bra Humor Sparks Viewer Backlash: 'Shut It'!
KELLY RIPA UNLEASHES ON OFFENDED VIEWERS, REVEALS INTIMATE DETAILS ABOUT HER BRAS AND BREAST AUGMENTATION QUESTIONS
In a recent episode of Live With Kelly And Mark, TV personality Kelly Ripa stirred up controversy when she discussed an intimate topic on live television. The 54-year-old star, who co-hosts the morning talk show with her husband Mark Consuelos, decided to tackle the subject of bras in front of a live audience.
The conversation started innocently enough, with Kelly jokingly stating that "bras are older than you think" and "I don't mean just my bra. I mean bras." But things took a turn for the interesting when Mark chimed in, asking his wife about the average age of her bras. Kelly's response left no stone unturned as she humorously revealed, "Thousands of years. I mean, my bras last forever because they don't get a big workout."
But it was what came next that really got tongues wagging. Kelly continued to dish out the dirt, stating, "I'm not asking a lot of them, if you know what I'm saying. You know what I mean? Basically, I wear a bra to hold my microphone on. That is why I wear a bra, not to hold anything else, because there's nothing else there."
The audience erupted into laughter as Kelly playfully added, "And I don't care if you're offended. Shut it." But the star wasn't done yet. She continued to dish out the intimate details about her bras, explaining that she buys them in bulk but rarely wears them. "I keep thinking - 'cause I buy a lot of bras - not that I ever wear them, I just buy them," Kelly said with a wink. "Cause I'm like, 'This one will change my life.' And it just sits in the plastic bag it came in."
But what really got viewers buzzing was when Kelly opened up about her past attempts to get breast augmentation surgery. The star revealed that she has been to "more breast augmentation consults than [she] would like to admit" and even expressed interest in getting a "mini facelift" in the future. But it seems Kelly's plastic surgery plans are still on hold, as she recently revealed that she gets Botox injections "three times a year."
It seems Kelly is feeling confident about her looks, but not everyone was happy with the conversation. Some viewers took to social media to express their offense at Kelly's intimate discussion about bras and breast augmentation. But Kelly wasn't having it, responding with a sassy comment that left no doubt about what she thought of her critics.
The controversy comes on the heels of Kelly and Mark's recent absences from the morning talk show. The couple was absent for multiple days in a row, leaving guest co-hosts like Jenna Dewan to fill in. But it seems their time off wasn't due to any marital drama or tension between them - but rather just a matter of scheduling.
"We work together in the morning, and then we really have very separate schedules and very separate lives," Kelly explained on the show. "Our interests outside of our talk show in the morning are really quite different from each other." But it's clear that despite their busy schedules, Kelly and Mark still make time for each other - often enjoying a romantic dinner together at night.
It's been a wild ride for Kelly Ripa this summer, but one thing is for sure: she's not afraid to dish out the dirt and keep it real on live television. And with her sharp wit and sassy attitude, we can't help but tune in to see what's next for this dynamic duo.
