Kelly Ripa doesn’t seem to be bothered by Kathie Lee Gifford’s comments. The two have been in a war of words as of late, and as of this writing, Ripa is the one to have the last say…. for now, at least! The talk show host appeared on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, where she revealed that she had yet to see Gifford’s interview. “So I tend to, like, not go into deep dives about things I can’t comment on because I haven’t seen them,” she confessed. Ripa elaborated further as she defended herself, asking if she should “correct the record in real-time” or “not even comment” on things. 

The current “Live! With Kelly and Ryan” star added that she knew writing the book would “open” her to a lot of outsider opinions, but it’s all in context. “People who read the book have a very different take on those chapters because they read the book,” the mother of three added, seeming to allude to the fact that Gifford hasn’t read it. She also noted that any press is good press. “I am a person that tends to take a negative and turn it into a positive. And so my ultimate comment is, thank you,” she said, adding that anybody who does read the book may have a different take on it.

Currently, Ripa’s book, “Live Wire,” is on the New York Times best-seller list, and it’s safe to say that the buzz surrounding her beef with Gifford may have helped!
