Whether it’s in defense of her body, her husband, Mark ConsuelosHer, or? Live with Kelly and Ryan cohost, Ryan SeacrestThe All My ChildrenAlum is always available Ready to shut down her criticsWith a savage joke.
Interview conducted with Herring in November 2018. InStyleThe Emmy winner explained her outlook on social media and why she isn’t afraid to respond to trolls on her Instagram.
“For me, I look at social media like I look at most parts of my life — it’s incredibly silly,” she said at the time. “It’s an indulgence that I tend to have when I’m really either sitting in traffic, going to an airport, at the dentist, or when I have down time. When I clap back, I am very bored and I have time on my hands.”
Though the negativity doesn’t bother her, the Hope & FaithAlum admitted that it is the misspelling of insults that grinds her gears.
“I mean, people insult me all the time. I actually don’t take it personally,” she said. “My whole thing, I think it’s funny when people insult me and they can’t spell. So that’s the only time you’ll see me weighing in. That’s the only time because I’m like, if you’re going to insult somebody, have a basic basic basic handle on punctuation or spelling the word ‘too.’”
She added, “While insulting, try not to look like a stooge.”
Another thing that can cause confusion for her is when she notices her. Her critics blockade before she’s even had a chance to respond.
“I have been blocked by trolls who insult me and preemptively block me, which I find really funny,” she told InStyle. “I’m like, ‘Did I get blocked by a troll?’ They want to say it and then they want to prevent me from responding.”
Though she’s known by some as the “Clapback Queen,” Ripa confessed that she didn’t know much about Instagram when she first made her account and had to ask her daughter, LolaGet advice on how you can use the platform.
“I was never very good at it to begin with,” she explained. “Everybody I follow, I follow because my daughter showed me how to follow. You see, I started my social media accounts initially to close down all the fake accounts that were created of me. I had tons and tons, and when you don’t have your own account, then all of the fake accounts pop up. So I just started an account to shut down fake accounts.”
Ripa married Consuelos in May 1996. Lola and Ripa have two sons. Michael and Joaquin.
