Kelly Ripa has been taking some subtle shots at her co-host Michael Strahan ever since it was announced that he was leaving Live! With Kelly and Michael for a gig on Good Morning America. And on Thursday, she may have taken another shot with her wardrobe choice.
Ripa stepped out of her NYC pad with cameras flashing as they have been for several days now, wearing a white jacket with the word “Freedom” printed on the back. Many believe that the 45-year-old chose to wear the specific jacket to declare that she will soon be “free” from her daytime duties with Strahan and “free” to look for a new co-host.
Of course, we don’t know for sure if Ripa was sending a message, but it sure seems that way especially since there have been rumblings that all is not well between the two show hosts. And we can’t forget that Kelly has taken some digs at Michael after she said she was blindsided by the announcement of his departure. One instance is when she brought up his divorces on air, which clearly took the ex-football star by surprise since it is not a subject he chooses to talk about publicly.
Strahan’s last day is Friday and viewers will be tuning in not only to see his sendoff but also to see Ripa’s reaction to his goodbye.
