Michael, who hosted LIVE! before leaving in 2016, allegedly told ABC staff members he felt that he couldn’t “speak up and raise his voice” on the set of Live with Kelly Ripa, according to Page Six.
On June 4, Michael spoke out on racism with Bob Iger in front of all ABC and Disney employees.
According to the site’s source: “Michael said that there were some very tense situations with executives who got argumentative and loud on the show, and he was very aware he couldn’t speak up or raise his voice as he was worried he would be seen as thr3atening.”

During the discussion, Michael didn’t name the show, however, he allegedly alluded to it with his comments.
Following the announcement of Michael’s departure from the show in 2016, Kelly took a few days off.
When she returned, she congratulated Michael on his new gig, but brought up how “consideration” and “respect” is important in the workplace at the beginning of the show.
Before announcing Michael’s move to GMA, company brass allegedly told Kelly just “minutes” before.
Following the announcement, rumors started circulating that the former cohosts were feuding.

Years after the incident, Michael admitted in a New York Times article that the situation “could have been handled better.”
In the January 2020 interview, he alluded to the feud and said: “I’ve had jobs where I got there and felt like: Wow, I didn’t know I was supposed to be a sidekick.
“I thought I was coming here to be a partner.”

He further explained: “I didn’t wake up and say, ‘I want a job at ‘GMA.’
“I was asked to do it by the people who run the network.
“It was really not a choice.
“It was a request.
“But it was treated as if I was the guy who walked in and said, ‘I’m leaving.'”
Despite the feud, Michael gushed about Kelly during the interview.
He said: “I learned so much from Kelly, so much from Michael Gelman.
“When it was time to go, it was time to go.
“Certain things that were going on behind the scenes just caught up.”
Kelly now hosts the show with Ryan Seacrest.
