Gifford said she is “not gonna” read “Live Wire,” adding that she doesn’t “get” why Ripa discusses her and the late Regis Philbin’s power dynamic.
Kelly Ripa responded to Kathie Lee Gifford’s diss over her memoir.She continued, “It’s really hard to sell a book, right? … So my ultimate comment is, ‘Thank you.'”
The former soap star noted that when readers check out her book, particularly the sections covering her and late “Live” co-hostThe talk show host thanked Gifford for giving her book “attention.” “The comments I’ve gotten about those chapters have been overwhelmingly positive, and the people who read the book took away a lot of positivity from it,” she said.Earlier this month, Gifford said she’s “not gonna” read the book due to its portrayal of Regis Philbin.“I was very sorry to see the headlines [about Philbin],” Gifford, who co-hosted “Live with Regis and Kathie Lee” for a decade before Ripa took over in 2001, told Fox 5’s Rosanna Scotto.
“You never know what’s true and what’s not true,” she continued. “I went, ‘I hope this isn’t true. I just hope it isn’t.’ Because what’s the point? I don’t get it. I don’t get it.” In the book, Ripa alleges that Philbin referred to her as “it” and cleared up the “basic misconception” that the duo were friends outside of work.Newsday RM via Getty ImagesGetty ImagesRon Galella Collection via Getty
