Michael Strahan has already left Live! for Good Morning America.
But that doesn’t mean the talk show host is done with Kelly Ripa, not according to a new tabloid cover story.
The latest issue of Star claims that Strahan has a $ 10 million offer on the table to pen a memoir that will reveal endless secrets about his former colleague.
An anonymous insider tells the magazine that Strahan would “relish telling his side of the story” of why he ditched one ABC program for another.
Strahan, of course, announced in mid-April that he would depart Live! in September in order to become a full-time part of Good Morning America.
But Ripa felt disrespected enough by the way in which ABC handled this announcement to stage a mini-boycott of her own show.
She eventually returned… talked about the need for respect in the workplace… and then awkwardly sat next to Strahan for the next few weeks until he ended up leaving on May 13.
What might a Strahan memoir include?
Details on how Live! employees supposedly dislike Ripa, and “how icy-cold she can be toward anyone she deems beneath her.”
The magazine writes that Ripa would also tell Strahan “very private, intimate stuff” about her marriage to Mark Consuelos… all of which Strahan is now prepared to spill to the public!
Michael has “seen the worst side of Kelly, and he could blow apart her carefully constructed image and ultimately humiliate her,” the bombshell report claims.
Ever since Strahan confirmed his job change, there’s been talk that he and Ripa have hated each other for years.
And this may very well be true.
But Strahan has still carved out a reputation as one of television’s most beloved morning personalities. It seems very hard to believe that he’d risk that for a few million bucks.
The guy has raked in plenty already from his professional football career and his new GMA gig.
Ripa, meanwhile, has possibly gone rogue.
She has also lined up a number of guest co-hosts, with no decision about a permanent fellow anchor expected any time soon.
We have a few suggestions, however…
