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.

SH0CK: A Stranger BREAKS IN and ATTCKS a “Family Member” of GMA Host George Stephanopoulos – The CULPR1T Left Everyone Stunned!

Ali Wentworth, author and comedian, shared a heartbreaking moment when her beloved dog Cooper was @tt@ck3d by d33r while she was f!ght!ng c0r0nav!ru$. Speaking from home on Live with Kelly and Ryan, Ali said: “Somebody – George – left the gate open and my beloved dog Cooper, the love of my life, escaped and was gone for four or five hours, and we couldn’t do anything as we were quarant!n3d.”

“Then he came back covered in m@tt3d mud, algae and bl00d, smelling like d3@th, and hid under a pine tree for six hours shaking, like some trauma had happened. We think some deer may have beaten him up.” Ali admitted “He’s never been the same since.” Still, she added: “Upset is not the word, but it wasn’t his fault.”

At the end of March, Ali tested positive for c0r0nav!ru$, and by mid-April opened up about the “brutal and scary time.” After 16 days of !sol@t!on, her husband – Good Morning America host George Stephanopoulos – was there clapping as she came downstairs. In an emotional post, Ali wrote: “I know I’m one of the lucky ones. I’m grateful for my health.”

“We must shed all ideological, religious, social, economic barriers and grab each other’s hands to move forward, as people.” she urged, showing compassion for millions still suffering from the plague.

Live Broadcast Blunder on GMA: A Camera Angle accidentally reveals Will Reeve’s shorts – Fans in uproar as CLIP goes viral with hundreds of thousands of views!

On Tuesday morning, an unexpectedly funny incident turned ABC reporter Will Reeve into a social media spotlight. While doing a live piece from home on Good Morning America (GMA), Reeve appeared on air without proper pants.

The topic itself was quite high-tech: “What’s a creative, modern way to get medicine to people’s homes while keeping safe distance?” – Reeve asked, then answered: “Drones!”. For most of the segment, a lower-third banner conveniently covered his lower half. But towards the end, during a chat with hosts Amy Robach and Michael Strahan, a wider camera angle and smaller graphic exposed his bare leg and shorts.

Sharp-eyed viewers immediately caught the moment and posted it on Twitter. “Showing some leg on #GMA 🤣” – wrote Brittany Wesson. “Haha. #GMA put on pants bro!” – Dennis McCloskey teased. “@GMA this guy isn’t wearing pants!” – Brandon Senff shared with a screenshot.

Reeve, son of the late Christopher Reeve (famous for playing Superman), quickly replied on Twitter: “They’re shorts I promise”. He even joked about himself: *“I have ARRIVED, * in the most hilariously mortifying way possible”**.

This funny mishap didn’t just amuse the internet but also became a memorable moment in live TV history during the age of social distancing.

Is Michael Strahan’s Ex-wife Jean Strahan REALLY as scary as he says?

Former NFL player turned daytime host Michael Strahan is now locked in an ugly legal fight with ex-wife Jean Strahan, accusing her of “physical and emotional mistreatment” of their twin daughters, Isabella and Sophia.

In court documents obtained by TMZ, Michael, now 48, is seeking primary custody. He claims that Jean has shown a “pattern of harsh behavior” towards the girls for years and says he has evidence he’ll submit under seal.

Michael also alleges that Jean hasn’t been taking their 15-year-old daughters to court-ordered therapy sessions, and has been blocking them from going to volleyball and equestrian events.

Michael and Jean were married for seven years before a bitter divorce in 2006, where Jean got $15.3 million plus $18,000/month in child support. In 2009, payments were reduced to $13,000/month, after which Jean claimed Michael owed her over $500,000.

If Michael gets custody, Isabella and Sophia would move from North Carolina to New York City to live with him, where he hosts Good Morning America. He also wants Jean to get only limited visitation rights and to be held legally accountable for her alleged conduct.

Their conflict flared up again in January 2020 over child support disputes.

SH0CKWAVE: Michael Strahan’s heartbreaking and sh0cking announcement about his Daughter leaves fans stunned – Is it really true?

The legal b@ttl3 between Michael Strahan, former NFL star turned GMA host, and ex-wife Jean Muggli Strahan has become increasingly t3ns3. Jean now claims: “He had me followed around the clock” at her North Carolina home, where she lives with their twin daughters, Isabella and Sophia. Her lawyer, Shannon Rogers Simpson, said: “He b@tt3r3d her financially with lawsuits. That’s how determined he is not to pay the child support he agreed to ten years ago.”

Michael’s lawyers denied it sharply: “The idea she’s under surveillance is absurd and can’t be proven.” Michael, 48, fired back accusing Jean of a “pattern of m3nt@l @bus3 towards the kids”, skipping court-ordered therapy, and blocking them from sports events.

Now, Michael seeks full custody and asks the court to hold Jean in cr!m!nal and c!v!l contempt. If he wins, the girls would move to New York with him; Jean would get only limited visitation.

The couple married for seven years before a bitter 2006 divorce, where Michael was ordered to pay $15.3 million plus $18,000 a month in child support. Before that, he had two other kids with first wife Wanda Hutchins. Today, Michael is worth about $65 million from his sports and TV career.

SAD NEWS – GMA host Robin Roberts announces a crew member has Di3d, leaving everyone in sh0ck!

On Wednesday morning, Good Morning America fell into deep sorrow when veteran host Robin Roberts tearfully shared the news about the departure of Tony Greer, a cameraman who had worked at ABC for over six years. Tony p@ssed aw@y from complications caused by C0V1D-19.

Speaking from her home’s dining table, Robin Roberts struggled to hold back tears as she told viewers: “We have incredibly tough news to share with everyone. Today is a sad day for our GMA family. We know the pandem1c has affected many, and now it has taken one of our own. Our talented studio camera operator, Tony Greer, has p@ssed aw@y due to complications from the v1rus.”

At 59, Robin fondly remembered Tony as a “bright light” with a spirit “so beautiful you could feel it from a mile away.” She shared that Tony loved his family, taking nieces and nephews around the city, loved his longtime girlfriend Robin, and enjoyed playing guitar with his band.

She paused to compose herself, then offered heartfelt condolences to Tony’s family and friends, especially his mother: “Your son was a good man, kind, thoughtful, and always a gentleman. You can’t ask for more than that.”

Other colleagues on the show also paid tribute. As of Wednesday morning, over 400,000 cases of C0V1D-19 had been confirmed in the U.S., with at least 12,857 d3@ths and more than 21,700 recoveries.

SH0CKWAVE at GMA: “I was just a SIDEK1CK” – Michael Strahan’s sh0cking reveal stuns viewers and Co-hosts. Robin Roberts had to shout: “What is wrong with you? Show me?”.

Michael Strahan recently opened up about his past workpláce tensi0n with former co-host Kelly Ripa. In an interview with the New York Times, Michael didn’t mention Kelly directly but clearly hinted at issues between them. “I once showed up at a job and realized: ‘It’s not about the team. It’s s3lf!sh, and I don’t work well in that kind of environment,’” he confessed. He also admitted: “I thought I was coming in as a partner, but turns out I was just a s1d3kick.”

Michael tried to fix things by setting up regular meetings: “We met a few times, and that was fine. But then she said she didn’t need to meet. You can’t force someone to do what they don’t want.” Despite this, he praised her: “If you look at the show, it hasn’t really changed since Regis Philbin. It’s a formula. You learn to tell a story so even drinking a glass of water sounds interesting. I learned that from her. She’s really good. If people think I hate her – I don’t. I respect how good she is.”

Speaking about his departure, Michael said: “I was asked to join [GMA] by network heads. It wasn’t really my choice, but people thought I just walked out. That was completely m1sh@ndl3d. People who should’ve handled it better apologized, but damage was done.”

In the end, Michael Strahan’s words revealed an honest yet respectful look into the tough dynamics behind TV.

BREAKING NEWS: Fox News host Dana Perino’s comment on W0men sparks fierce BACKLASH after Kansas City tragedy!

Fox News commentator Dana Perino suggested during a live broadcast that female v1ctims 0f d0mest1c v10lence should ‘make better decisions’ to avoid getting hurt.

Perino made the remark during a discussion on the m::rd3r-s::1cide of NFL player Jovan Belcher, who sh0t and K his girlfriend before turning a G::N on himself.

For months prior to the sh00ting, the couple had been having problems and police had previously been called to their home as a result.

Fox News commentator Dana Perino suggested during a live broadcast that female v1ctims 0f d0mest1c v10lence should ‘make better decisions’ to avoid getting hurt

Under fire: Perino made the remark during a discussion on the m::rd3r-s::1cide of NFL player Jovan Belcher, who sh0t and K his girlfriend before turning a G::N on himself

Fox commentators were discussing the implications of the crime and whether laws governing G::N rights should be reexamined in the aftermath. 

Fox host Greg Gutfeld said the violence may have been prevented if Belcher’s girlfriend was carrying a G::N the night she was KL.

 

That’s when Perino, the former press secretary for George W. Bush, chimed in. 

‘I think it skirts the issue,’ she said. ‘Women are victims of violence all the time.’

Gutfeld cut in and insisted, again, that more women should carry G::Ns.

‘Well, maybe, or make better decisions,’ Perino quipped. 

Viewers lashed out at Perino on Twitter for the remark.

‘I have no respect for Dana Perino for the comment she made about women and domestic violence!’ wrote @JacsKrakrs. ‘She just guaranteed I will not vote GOP!’

Perino isn’t the first commentator to draw the ire of viewers in discussing the touchy subject of G::N rights and domestic violence in the aftermath of Belcher’s mrd3r-s::1cide.

Fox Sports commentator Bob Costas angered viewers when he suggested that stricter G::N laws might have prevented the crime.

Costas praised a column by sports writer Jason Whitlock and told his viewers, ‘In the coming days, Jovan Belcher’s actions and their possible connection to football will be analyzed. Who knows? But here, wrote Jason Whitlock, is what I believe.

‘If Jovan Belcher didn’t possess a G::N, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today.’

Costas later defended his remarks, saying he didn’t have enough time to explain himself and that he was misunderstood.

‘What I was trying to say was, that if you want some perspective on this, there are a number of issues related to [Belcher’s m::rd3r-s::1cide] that we could begin to talk about and think about,’ Costas told sports radio host Dan Patrick. ‘The problem was that I didn’t have enough time to get to many of them. And that, I think, was my mistake to be quite honest.’

“A ‘DUMB QUESTION’ – Fox News viewers sh0cked by Dana Perino’s words But the truth behind wins their support!

It’s an understatement to say FOX News political commentator Dana Perino, 53—co-anchor of America’s Newsroom, cohost of The Five and host of FOX News Audio’s weekly podcast Perino on Politics—has a lot on her plate. From serving as press secretary under George W. Bush to becoming a cable news fixture, her years of experience make her uniquely qualified to share personal and professional life lessons.

That’s exactly what she’s done in her new bestselling book I Wish Someone Had Told Me…, a compendium of the best advice she’s gleaned from friends, colleagues, mentors and loved ones. It’s comforting to know that even in these politically polarizing times, good old-fashioned wisdom transcends party lines. Here, a few of Dana’s favorite success secrets.

Ask ‘stupid’ questions

Dana assures one of the biggest keys to a flourishing life is deceptively simple: curiosity. “Mike Rowe, host of the TV show Dirty Jobs, shared a great piece of advice when he said this is the biggest asset an employee can have,” she reveals. “My favorite thing to do is ask a ‘stupid’ question.” That’s because, just as your mom told you, there’s no such thing. Case in point: Dana recalls not knowing the definition of a word that kept coming up at work, and rather than stay mum in a meeting, she asked what it meant. Turns out she wasn’t the only one wondering—but she was the only one with the courage to speak up. Indeed, showing a willingness to learn—and learn out loud—is the mark of a leader.

Let yourself be loved

In 1997, Dana’s friend Kim Wilkerson gave her the push she needed to prioritize her heart. “I had fallen in love with a man randomly seated next to me on a plane,” Dana recalls. That man was British-born Peter McMahon, now her husband of 26 years. But when Dana met him, chasing romance meant risking her burgeoning career and uprooting her life to England. McMahon was also 18 years her senior, a fact that stoked her insecurities about what others might think of the match. Enter Kim’s unforgettable words: Do not give up on the chance to be loved. “It’s the best advice I ever got because it showed me that choosing to be loved is not a career-limiting decision—it’s a life-giving one.

“My parents are healthy, but that can change at any moment,” Dana admits, recalling the heartfelt advice of her co-anchor Bill Hemmer after the d3ath of his father. “He’s such a good son, and when his dad passed away in February, he told me the most important thing I can do is just listen—to my family, friends and my parents while I’m lucky to still have them. Whether at work or at home, I’ll put my pen down and make sure I’m not scrolling on my phone. Showing people your full attention is a gift you give others and yourself.”

Send nostalgic texts

Having grown up on a ranch, Dana is an avowed morning person, waking before 5 am to catch up on the latest headlines. A soul-soothing part of her routine? “Whether it’s an article or a song on the radio that reminds me of them, if one of my friends comes to mind, I’ll send a quick thinking-of-you text,” she says. “It’s so easy and it gets my day off to a great start.” Sometimes words aren’t even needed. “I love sending memes that capture a memory—nostalgia is a really powerful way to stay connected.”

Ditch future worry

If Dana could give her younger self one piece of advice, what would it be? “Don’t worry away your 20s,” she declares. “I spent so much time anxious about my next move, but all you can do is honor your values and trust yourself. You’ll end up where you’re supposed to be.” Sounds like wisdom we can apply at any stage of life.

Pay it forward

Perhaps the greatest life lesson Dana has learned is just how important it is to pinpoint one’s true purpose. “I received a wonderful piece of advice from psychiatrist Samantha Boardman, MD, who specializes in positive psychology. She said one of the most important things you can do is help others—it gives your life greater meaning and unleashes feel-good endorphins.” Indeed, Dana gives back to her community by contributing to charity and supporting other women embarking on careers in journalism. “Over the years, I’ve gotten a lot of joy from mentoring younger people and seeing them start to believe in themselves and really flourish.” Paying it forward like this, she says, is the ultimate reward.

 

SH0CKING: Veteran Fox News host Dana Perino opens the show confirming a colleague fired after scandalous misconduct!

“Before we get to any other big stories of the day, we want to address a situation many of you may already be aware of,” guest host Dana Perino said at the top of The O’Reilly Factor Wednesday night. “Bill O’Reilly, who hosted this program for 20 years, is leaving the Fox News Channel. We know that you, his very loyal viewers, will have a lot of feelings about this, and we will talk more about it later in the program.”

By the end of the show, his name had been stripped from the on-screen title. Now the show was just called The Factor.

As promised, after nearly an hour, Perino spent one minute discussing O’Reilly’s dramatic firing after more than two decades on the network, following several accusations of s3xual harassment in the workplace.

“It is the end of an era here at the Fox News Channel. As we mentioned earlier, Bill O’Reilly is leaving this chair and this network after more than 20 years. Bill has been the undisputed king of cable news—and for good reason,” Perino said. “He is an incredibly talented broadcaster who raised the bar for interviewers everywhere. He has also held his staff to exacting standards in his quest to put the best possible program on the air, and they are great.”

She did not mention the $13 milli0n in s3ttlements that O’Reilly and Fox paid out to at least five different women. She did not say the words “s3xual harassment.” And she did not mention that the same thing happened last year to her former boss, Roger Ailes.

“And you, his audience, responded in record numbers, making The Factor the No. 1 cable news show for more than 16 years,” Perino continued. “You have also been loyal, and we can’t tell you how much that means to everyone on The Factor.” O’Reilly’s name was once again missing from the name of the show.

Perino quoted just one section of the memo that Rupert, James, and Lachlan Murdoch sent to staff members earlier in the day: “By ratings standards, Bill is one of the most accomplished TV personalities in the history of cable news. In fact, his success, by any measure, is indisputable.”

Then, she added her own final message. “We wish him the very best,” Perino said.

But it was hard to believe that she really meant it.
