Members King Posted November 21, 2006 Members Share Posted November 21, 2006 Just watched the clip. Kelly, can you BE more annoying. Looks to me like Rosie spanked Kelly more than the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alwaysAMC Posted November 21, 2006 Members Share Posted November 21, 2006 Did we watch the same clip? LOL Rosie got ganged up on even by her co-hosts - she was the one who got spanked and put in her place. She just had to bring the gay card out and I'm sick of it. Kelly was so in the right for getting upset and everyone knows it. The whole thing sucks though - I know Rosie and Kelly have been friends ever since their AMC days...I hope they can make up - you can tell Rosie felt bad as she was tearing up on the show.

Members juniorz1 Posted November 21, 2006 Members Share Posted November 21, 2006 Though I don't believe Kelly made the remark with his sexuality in mind, I can see Rosie's point of view on this. It's not what Kelly said, but the way she said it. I could easily see where Rosie would have inferred that it was a shot at his sexuality. I felt bad for Rosie- I've been the gay person in that situation and it's not a whole lot of fun. She has a right to her feelings, yet Kelly & the panel didn't seem to think so. Just because someone's point of view is different from your own doesn't make it invalid, which I think is what Rosie eventually was trying to get across. Homophobic is a strong word, one that should not be thrown around lightly. While I don't think her actions were homophobic in nature, I could see where people might find Kelly's remarks offensive.

Members alwaysAMC Posted November 21, 2006 Members Share Posted November 21, 2006 I see your point - but the thing is that Homophobic IS such a strong word - and for Rosie to accuse Kelly of that for the entire world to see...its damaging to her character and celebrity. Kelly just wanted to go on the record and defend herself against what Rosie was accusing her of. She definitely had that right to straighten things out before people start assuming Kelly is a homophobe and damage her career. Kelly is definitely not homophobic. Ya know?

Members juniorz1 Posted November 21, 2006 Members Share Posted November 21, 2006 Oh, no, I completely agree that Kelly Ripa had every right to call in & defend herself, absolutely. That was the point I was making at the end- Rosie should have chosen her words more carefully. It would have been better to say "as a gay woman I was offended by what she said" - that would have been more accurate, since that really was the point she was trying to make. I understand Kelly & the girls taking objection to the use of the word 'homophobic' but that doesn't give them the right to dismiss what Rosie was saying altogether, which they did. Ya know?

Members alwaysAMC Posted November 21, 2006 Members Share Posted November 21, 2006 Got ya haha Btw Juniorz - I'm still having JP withdrawals...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted November 21, 2006 Members Share Posted November 21, 2006 I KNOW! Tell me about it! I still have the first merge episode saved on my DVR- I love watching Brad pick JP! Best moment for me, all season. "You go boy!" was said by all the gay men in America when he did that. And it pays off too. Notice JP helping him out with the octopus that is wrapped around his.........lower self. I'm salivating at seeing him on the reunion show. CAN'T EFFING WAIT!

Members King Posted November 21, 2006 Members Share Posted November 21, 2006 She did get ganged up on, but I liked at the end when she was like "Listen. This is about View's. I made mine. KELLY I GET YOUR POINT!" Haha. Kelly was just kind of screaming and going on like a repetitive mad woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted November 21, 2006 Members Share Posted November 21, 2006 Great post, I completely agree! If anyone stuck their hand over my mouth it would get bitten. I'm sorry but that's one of the most disrespectful and rude things you can do to someone. I have to say Kelly is right she didn't know where his hand had been, which is NOT about homophobia at all, it'd be more about germophobia if anything. I think Rosie was way out of line with her homophobe comments and I'm glad Kelly stuck to her guns. I was loving Joy's comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted November 21, 2006 Members Share Posted November 21, 2006 I really don't see the big deal with what happened. It was a joke. Hellooooo. Kelly, stop being annoying. Clay, stop being creepy. Rosie, I am kind of starting to like you again and that thought is too much for me to handle right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Josh Posted November 21, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 21, 2006 Well Clay had already *MADE* the joke earlier before the hand over mouth thing. He shifted in his chair and said, "You let me know when I can talk." So the joke had been made, Kelly had taken the point. Should she had shut up, yes...but that is Kelly and Clay knew that when he went on there, that there was a chance she would control the whole interview which she did.

Members dragonflies Posted November 21, 2006 Members Share Posted November 21, 2006 I thought Clay seemed a bit rude and uptight during the whole show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WTGH Posted November 21, 2006 Members Share Posted November 21, 2006 I love Kelly's condescending, b.itchy, charming tone of voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted November 22, 2006 Members Share Posted November 22, 2006 Now, this is a good drama. lol Kelly may be annoying and talk too much...but Clay acts prissy - so they're both annoying. If some "stranger" - one that was annoying me - put their hand over my mouth like that they would have got punched! It's basically Kelly's show (Regis's show, but she's the co-host), he should have just shut-up if she wouldn't shut-up and complain about her later in a magazine or something. Rosie, she should have handled the situation privately. Once she put it out like that on The View, Kelly had every right to take the road she did.
