Ashley Iaconetti Calls Kelly Ripa’s Exchange With Jenn Tran ‘Offensive’
Ashley Iaconetti was not a fan of Kelly Ripa’s recent on-air exchange with The Bachelorette season 21 lead Jenn Tran
“It disappoints me when I see that Kelly Ripa has such an ax to grind with The Bachelor franchise,” Iaconetti, 36, said on the Thursday, July 11, episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast. The Live With Kelly and Mark cohosts’ relationship hasn’t faltered since they first locked eyes when Consuelos read for the part of Mateo Santos, who would eventually become Ripa’s character Hayley Vaughan’s onscreen love. Higgins noted that Ripa’s remarks about her and Consuelos’ relationship are “not untrue,” adding, “But I think the bigger picture is you can find love in the most random, in the most unexpected places.”
