Michael Strahan left Live With Kelly and Michael six years ago, and he joined Good Morning America with great public discussion. Her reaction to the news was so negative that she took a week-long break from the program, which said volumes about her emotions on the subject.
“I needed a few days to gather my thoughts; after 26 years with this company, I earned the right; I acknowledged the tension while keeping specifics vague,” she said to her audience.
During his time on the program, Strahan has revealed about behind-the-scenes difficulties, suggesting that more was going on than first would have been apparent. In a previous interview with Deadline, he said that his choice to depart was much influenced by these difficulties.
Though there is conflict, Strahan has voiced some sorrow about the way the leaving went. Clearly, his relationship with Ripa was changed.
Once comfortable on-screen friends, the two now have distinct professional lives with minimal to no contact.
Amazingly, Strahan started talking more candidly about the aftermath just lately. His open reaction have sparked public interest in the narrative once more and made fans question what actually went on behind-stage. Could the break have been managed differently? Was it inevitable?
Viewers wonder which show they would like most—Live with Kelly and Ryan or Good Morning America. And did you know that Strahan and Ripa had a really spectacular falling out?
