Oprah Thinks Kelly Ripa Should Have Found Out About Michael Strahan's Exit Differently

Oprah Winfrey stops to pose while attending the Tribeca Tune In: Greenleaf event held during the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival at BMCC John Zuccotti Theater on Wednesday (April 20) in New York City.

The 62-year-old TV personality was joined by Robert De Niro and his wife Grace Hightower.

While at the event, Oprah was asked what she thought about Michael Strahan leaving Live! for Good Morning America.

“I’m really excited for him,” Oprah told TMZ. “His life is about to change. He knows because he does it…I’m really happy for him.”

Then she was asked about advice for Kelly Ripa, asking, “Nobody told Kelly? She should have never have found out, in the media, is that what you’re saying? She shouldn’t have to find out that way.”
