Ellen Pompeo Slams Bachelor Creator over Kelly Ripa Dig: 'Don't Get Me Started on Your Show'
Ellen Pompeo just waded into the Bachelor drama brewing among ABC’s heavy hitters.
Earlier this week, Live! star Kelly Ripa said during an on-air discussion with co-host Ryan Seacrest that the reality dating show “disgusts” her and pits women against one another. Series creator Mike Fleiss then took aim at Ripa on Twitter, writing, “Easy, @KellyRipa … #TheBachelor franchise pays your salary!”
On Thursday, Grey’s Anatomy star Pompeo jumped to Ripa’s defense.
“Okay @fleissmeister… that’s some handle bro!” she tweeted. “Your show does NOT pay @KellyRipa salary. Also we don’t attack successful women on our network and men certainly cannot take credit for their success. Don’t get me started on your show cuz I’m a savage…. #bachelorsoooowhite.”
“Took a break [from Twitter] but had to jump back in the ring for my girl @KellyRipa,” she added.
