Clay Aiken Addresses Tense On-Air Exchange With Kelly Ripa in 2006 | E! News
Clay Aiken got candid about his tense moment with Kelly Ripa in 2006 while guest-hosting Live With Regis & Kelly, calling the days after “the most catastrophic week” of his life. The 47-year-old explained on a June 24 episode of the Hollywood Raw podcast, “I’m on the show because I wanted to show them I could handle this myself, I could host something. And I wasn’t getting to talk. Like, there were cue cards. They had my name on them. So I tried to be funny, and I did what I did, which was incredibly innocent. And then it got a little cold in the room. I felt bad and I was really worried that I had upset her.” Full Story: https://www.eonline.com/news/1433326/clay-aiken-speaks-out-on-blowup-tense-exchange-with-kelly-ripa-in-2006?query=ripa

This story is 20 years old 😂😂😂😂
Seriously, a 20 year old story. 😂😂😂😂
What a weak little piece of fluff that was about as relevant today as S&H green stamps or Traveler’s checks.
Why are we talking about this again……………….no wonder you guys are off the air.
She does talk a lot about nothing he should do humanity a favour and do it again ❕🫢
Kelly is annoying 😂
He should have addressed it at commercial breaks if he wasn’t getting to talk. Never put your hand over someone’s mouth. That is very disrespectful. I think he has a album coming out soon so gotta get something going I guess.
Why Regurgitate this toxic moment.
"She" is annoying & comes across / as a "bit…..of……a…know-it-all"…..😅LOL….!
Im not a fan of kelly ripa's she's evil 😈 look at what she did to michael strahan so sad 😔
Get over it. If it still bothers you.. then YOU are the problem
That whole thing seemed so homophobic, Rosie O’ Donnell called it right!
Oh bruh. Either quit using AI or learn how to pronounce people’s names before you film.
Where was Rosie’s apology for outing Clay? I remember watching that View episode and gasped knowing she had outed Clay to the public before he ever came out in public. Also, there are videos of Kelly covering Regis’s mouth prior to Clay doing it to her. Poor Clay.
He was trying to take over. He was dripping with misogyny during that incident. I think Kelly actually handled it well.
He did show them. He couldn’t handle it, you just can’t do that.
on "raw hollywood" clay said that he and kelly have not made up lol. Thanks for telling how the feud started, I did not know it before
Prayers ❤
