I'm not a Kelly Ripa fan, and couldn't even bother to read this article the whole way through, but seems like she has been treated disrespectfully. And I know she earns a huge amount of money, but part of the success of the show is that the duo has to work well together, and she should have some say in what goes on:

Anyway, the stakes are pretty low for Kelly. For one she has been offered higher profile gigs but she kept this one because of the easy schedule. And 2 she has gazillions of dollars.
