Ben Higgins and Ashley I Call out Kelly Ripa for ‘offensive’ Jenn Tran interview

Kelly Ripa never shies away from criticizing the leads of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.

And now, Kelly is being slammed for the remarks she made during a recent interview with Jenn Tran when the latter was there to promote her new season by making an appearance on Live! with Kelly and Mark.

“You’re drop-dead gorgeous,” Kelly said to Jenn. “You could meet anybody anywhere, at any time. Why, why, why The Bachelorette?”

Kelly then asked asked Jenn why she didn’t choose to meet someone at “medical school” or “the office,” as her husband Mark chimed in and said she could’ve met someone at “church.”

Jenn Tran turned the tables responding to Kelly’s question by asking her some personal questions.

“I have a question. Where did you meet your husband? On TV, no?” Jenn asked.

“Those are not the same. We were both professional,” Kelly replied. “Are you acting on your show? I didn’t marry [Mark’s character] Mateo Santos. I married Mark Consuelos.”

It’s safe to say, the Bachelor Nation is mad!

“(Kelly’s comments) were just a little offensive to us who have found love on the show,” Ashley Iaconetti said.

“It disappoints me when I see that Kelly Ripa has such an ax to grind with The Bachelor franchise,” Ashley I said on her  “Almost Famous” podcast. “Every time we have a lead go on the show to promote it, she always seems to be so skeptical of — a little bit of the lead, and their decision to be the lead — and also just the process.”

“I don’t know if they, like, denied her the Bachelorette role at some point,” said Ben Higgins noting that she “definitely doesn’t like the show.”

“I’m looking at you, you are gorgeous. You seem perfectly normal, why are you doing this to yourself?” Kelly asked former Bachelorette Andi Dorfman during her appearance on Live With Kelly and Michael.

“Becca, let’s get into it. You had escaped. You escaped. I mean, what is the matter with you?” Kelly Ripa asked Becca Kufrin during her season of the Bachelorette.
