Rosie Rips Kelly for "Homophobic" Remark

31. steve of comment 10: it was not a homophobic remark. and i have seen her say, "honey" a million times. if "bitch" had come out, then id think she thought he was gay, which has nothing to do with the hand-over-the-mouth situation. but the thought that she didnt want someones dirty hands on her mouth, gay or not, is completely normal.

32. Homosexuality is a sin. Rosie and all homosexuals will burn in hell for all eternity. Homosexuals should be shunned and deplored. God Bless.

33. I agree with Rosie. That was the first thing I thought when I heard Kelly's snarky "I don't know where that hand has been" remark. She should have dropped it instead of going on Monday's show and whining about Clay's "disrepect". She might start showing her Friday cohosts some respect by letting them speak a few times throughout the hour.

34. Rosie is, as usual, wrong. Aiken is fortunate that Ms. Ripka didn't kick his ass all over the stage! I wonder who actually gave the okay to have Clay Aiken serve as guse host. If it was Gelman, I don't think he'll be getting any Chanukah gifts from Kelly this year!

35. Rosie has to be the most disgusting, obnoxious, fat lesbian bitch there is. I can't stand her and I am amazed that they would even put her on TV. She possibly the worst person in Hollywood. If I were Kelly, I wouldn't want anyone putting their hand over my mouth, gay or not. Rosie is just a fat, ugly bitch.

36. Rosie is a phucking bass hole for saying that. It was not a homophoic rekmark. Now if Ripa would have said "get your hand off my face you phucking queer" then Rosie would have a arguement. Since that was not stated Rosie does not have a leg nor hand to sit on.

37. Rosie if Clay has a problem with what happened let him deal with it any way he wants. I saw it a totally different way than you did obviously and I wouldn't want anyone putting their hand over my mouth to shut me up either, especially on my own show. That was inappropriate, if she would have done that to him and he said what she said, would it have still been homophobic? We all know you are gay Rosie, we dont' care, most of us love you anyway but I don't see why you are so angry these days if you are so comfortable with yourself. I don't get it and probably never will but that's my opinion and I thought I'd share it. P.S. I love Kelly too.

38. I don't give a damn if you're straight or gay, you don' t put your hand over my mouth because I don't know where it's been! Kelly shouldn't apologized to Rosie. She could kiss my ass!!!

40. I like Rosie and Kelly. My husband has watched the shows when he is home with me and happened to be home the day Clay was co-hosting. I wasn't always watching and he commented that Clay seemed to be snotty with Kelly. Then he yelled for me to come watch after Clay put his hand over Kelly's mouth.. He couldn't believe he did that... We never felt it was a homophobic comment.. If it was Mario Lopez? Get real.. If my husband did that in front of guests, I'd say the same thing to him.. it's a light-hearted attempt at saying - don't do that.
I think, as Rosie says, she is feeling sorry for Clay (he's getting hit at all sides with the "are you gay" stuff), but she needn't jump the gun..

42. Rosie is hetrophobic. She played her game of being in love with Tom Cruise on her show to hide being gay. She is a mean hearted person that should not have a national place to voice her hate. Get her off TV

43. Rosie is ridiculous. She has this over the top tendency to turn everything into a 'gay' issue, and I am so tired of it. Would Rosie want any of her co-workers to put their hands on her mouth - much less a guest host that she hardly knows? This IS a matter of hygiene, pure and simple, and it IS a matter of not knowing where his hand has been, period. I have no idea where Rosie came up with this skewed idea that questions of hygiene have to do with issues of homosexuality - it's absurd. Clay's actions were inappropriate and I applaud Kelly for calling him on it.

44. I saw the Kelly/Clay incident live and the "I don't know where it's been" is a common comment for any type of unwanted contact. I didn't even think of it being a "gay" comment at ALL until it was PRINTED as such. Clay was far out of line to do what he did and I thought he was ineffective as a "host" to begin with. As far as Rosie is concerned (I also saw her live today) - does everything have to be about HER? Call Kelly a germaphobe perhaps....but not a homophobe.

45. I tuned in the see Spader, but once again, Rosie has ruined the show. I agree with #6 & 7 wholeheartedly! Her closing comment, "I have 4 kids and I don't care where you touch me" was a deliberate 'last word' slap at Ripa that shows what an immature, hetero-phobic, wish-she-was diva she is.
