Kelly Ripa Proud to Cut off Her Kids Financially

Will the watermelon titted daughter have to pay for her own breast reduction?

It’s the final leg of separation from your parents. You get to make choices without having your parents sanctioning them. Always be respectful and maybe discuss why you made the choice you did, but that choice is yours.

i'm sure they'll never be hungry or homeless.

[quote]I don't think he ever really experienced extreme poverty like now."

Extreme poverty? Give me a break, he is a rich kid playing pretend at making it on their own. They are a dime a dozen in Brooklyn.

Yep it's all gravy until he starts selling his bussy on Onlyfans and becomes a gay porn star like DL fave Jake Cannavale. We'll see if she has the same tone then.

It's really her business what she does, but it is increasingly difficult to succeed in this country if you're starting with nothing. So her children will actually face more financial obstacles than she did.

[quote] Yep it's all gravy until he starts selling his bussy on Onlyfans and becomes a gay porn star

KELLY Ripa's rarely-seen daughter Lola Consuelos, 21, has promoted her new song in a tiny bikini in a new TikTok video.

What are we supposed to do with this information?

I don't believe for a second Kelly doesn't provide abundantly for her grown children. Her self-deprecating schtick has gotten old and she has always told tall tales to try and make herself appear relatable and just like the average person. She especially does it regarding food. Her kids are probably provided for lavishly and she's playing the "I'm just like you" game.

You can't raise your kids in a bubble of wealth and privilege and expect them to understand how to work for money. If they didn't teach them from the start it's not going to happen

If you feed wild animals don't be surprised if they forget how to hunt

There's no way this silly delusional bitch means "extreme poverty" the way the actual extreme poor mean "extreme poverty."

[quote]What are we supposed to do with this information?

Encourage the fine young man to show his asshole online for fast cash?

I'm seeing Kelly coming to visit Lola at her tiny NYC digs and gifting her with pearls.

R6 I’d love to do that. I’d be the piggiest bareback whore on OF and JFF. Wish my rich parents would say something about it. You wanted to make my own way, okay I did it by selling ass and slinging cock, whaddup?

I’m kidding. Kinda.

But I will say this is rich coming from Kelly Ripa. Didn’t she bail on her cake ass show when Michael Stratham left? Because “no one told her” beforehand.

[quote]You can't raise your kids in a bubble of wealth and privilege and expect them to understand how to work for money. If they didn't teach them from the start it's not going to happen

Exactly. She isn't doing what she thinks she doing. Unless they raised their kids to take care of themselves from the start then they're actually at a disadvantage.

They should have given them a roof over the heads and fed them. Otherwise the kids should have had to pay for their own clothes, objects they wanted, etc. and for that they would have had to of had a job with their own car that they were paying for themselves.

Isn't the oldest son on a TV show with the dad?

If not, Chaturbate!

Oh c'mon, r15, Kelly was within her rights.

[quote]and for that they would have had to of had a job with their own car that they were paying for themselves.

I know what you are trying to say r16, but people who grow up in Manhattan don't drive. It's always one of the calling cards of a real local, they've never had a driver's license.

If she paid for college, she shouldn't continue to support him or his lifestyle.

If he made poor life choices and is suffering for them now in terms of income or career prospects, that's HIS problem, not hers and certainly not her responsibility to solve.

I applaud her if she supported him through college and allowed him to make his own life decisions while providing appropriate parenting, support, and guidance. If he's not living the lifestyles of the rich and famous now, that's his fault, not hers.

Is this all that uncommon? When I turned 18, I was out of the house with no financial help from my parents whatsoever. Me being gay sealed that decision on their part, but it wasn’t the end of the world. I had to pay (FOREVER) for my college. I lived entirely on my own income, granted not high on the hog. I just assumed that’s how everyone started.

Do younger people expect to be carried by their parents financially? Do parents expect it?

[quote]but people who grow up in Manhattan don't drive.

He does drive and she took pictures of him when he was getting his permit. So while what you're saying is accurate, that doesn't apply to him.

It was just an example as it relates to my own life and the people I knew that got stuck in that situation.

There's a way to raise your kids so you can cut them off later on while knowing you also did your job as a parent to prepare them for the real world.

There are plenty of rich people who don't bother to like Candy Spelling and then get upset when their kids are a mess.

r22 Ripa is close enough to that boat.... spoils kids, gives them unrealistic expectations and then pulls the rug away.

You know this bitch wasn't showing her kids how to survive or basic life skills or at the very least hand them over to the personal assistant to train. This is how you use an atm, this is how you address a letter, this is how you test your mommy's fanmail for anthrax.

I'd say the same thing to the student loan whiners as I would to helicopter parents.

You find this kind of attitude from from liberals to conservatives... from rural areas to the cities...

They didn't raise their kids right to start with and now they're upset their kids resent them for it.

Yes, a lot of people rely on heavy financial support from their parents for a lot of their life r21. As someone that grew up working class that now has mainly friends from upper middle backgrounds I've been jealous many times of how much easier it would have been if had my parents helping me out.

The number of times I've wondered how someone could buy a property and then found out their parents helped with the down payment, things like that.

r21 Yes, they do expect it... as much as they expect and have even sued for school tuition. (some have sued to stay home as well)

College aged kids of the last decade have been a goldmine of everything to hate about the younger gens.... especially their epic public campus tantrums.. the sheer inability to control themselves and having 51/50 level panic attacks over things like payphones or class assignments that don't include trigger warnings.

one needs not look further than buzzfeed (and the like) to find the streams of bratty entitlement as a source that hasn't been hijacked and utilized by triggering propagandists. . .straight from the little monsters mouths.

r21 don't you recall how Wheelchair Jimmy struggled to get where he was, he lived in only half of a large house in a good neighborhood, while working on degrassi! The struggle is REAL!

R4 The same way any other thread here does?

These kids have grown up accustomed to a lifestyle they can easily maintain. Even without financial help from their parents directly; they're educated (presumably without debt), are well connected throughout various limbs of the entertainment industry. They will not have the same struggle as a gifted kid from a lower-middle class household, be it a single parent household or two, where money is a legitimate concern, education access being limited, no money for extras like music lessons or any other extracurricular activity bc of the constraints their parent (or parents) its likely all they'll ever know is the cycle of debt, as they didn't have the same privileges as these showbiz kids while growing up or the connections they've established as young adults.

r28 not entirely true, sure, there's tabloid stories they could sell in the short term... and many of these kids tend to be poorly educated and largely unprepared for the world because they've already spent their lives skirting on their family's fame. If they lack talent themselves and their parents are trying to keep them from the industry or worse yet actively working against them... there's not that many avenues for them to go. Even less because you know how many years it takes to financially separate from your parents' financials? They can be in the same boat as lower middle class kids... with the exceptions they need to provide for their own security which can be a barrier to normie life; i.e. they're too much of a security risk to be on campus, to live in a low rent flat, to join the military, to... do whatever it is normies do.

I'll give him $100 to suck my dick.

r30 the plebs, common folk, the little people... the ants crawling beneath your feet yet make up a big portion of your biodome.... the insignificant, large mass of faceless, souless, unenlightened zombies, the walking dead, the sheep, the masses...

can multigenerational celebrity royalty truly ever become just a normie?

it might have been possible in yesteryear but these days, it would be an abuse... this is little else than virtue signaling, I'm just like you pandering... see how real I am, now watch me write a parenting book for you. . .

though, it's not nearly as bad when everyone was stuck in shutdown.... it was like watcdhing an insect die in a jar as celebrities began suffocating from a lack of smug

i can figure that out. it just makes you sound like one of these spoiled kids.

The daughter with the baby face, and the big knockers will have no issues landing a man to fund her.

[quote]they would have had to of had

I never do this but...

Oh fucking DEAR.

They should all give her the silent treatment.

I hope the first thing she does with their money is laser off that lumpy belly button.

Whatever, Kelly. Where’s the “All My Children” primetime reboot?

Well, when my dad cut me off without a penny, I joined the Army.

She’s obnoxious but I have a soft spot for her. I think her walking away from her job for a week because she…wasn’t told that her hated co-worker got another job (???)…is so ridiculous that it ended up amusing. That’s confidence.

R5, yeah, this is where rich people like her make a mistake in trying to compare the fake "poverty" of their kids with people who are truly struggling financially. I'm surprised because with her background I would have thought she have more sense and just not talk about it.

But she's been rich so long that she is probably as clueless as Anderson Cooper now.

[quote]I think her walking away from her job for a week because she…wasn’t told that her hated co-worker got another job (???)…is so ridiculous that it ended up amusing. That’s confidence.

That's not confidence, that's cowardice. Rule one is you never walk off your own show. Confidence would have been to stay and throw cunty asides every now and then. Or like Rosie O Donnell, duke it out on the air. She threw an adult equivalent of a toddler's tantrum.

Kelly is basically a 14-year-old mean girl at heart. That she's besties with the two Andy's should tell you that much. And from the stories she used to tell when she was with Regis, and especially Michael, she always seemed to be off on a trip somewhere with that crew. Didn't seem like she was a present parent a lot of the time.

Wonder how different it is now that the Andy's have kids?

jersey, what do you expect?

Is she afraid they will murder her and jump out the window naked?

Rosie said after a DECADE - Kelly still hasn't forgiven her for calling her out on shaming Clay Aiken

She said Kelly was at a show a few rows ahead of her, Rosie tried to say Hi - Kelly ignored her.

rosie, we don't care and buy some lips.

R43, what's cowardly about what she did? It's immature, I agree, but not cowardly. It's not like Strahan announced he was leaving because she's a cunt and he hates her--avoiding him in that situation would, arguably, be cowardly. Instead, he got a better gig and she threw a fit. She didn't even pretend to be sick or anything. She was clear that she wanted to show the EP who's the boss. That's what I mean about confidence.

Clay deserved it. He was acting like an asshole. It's not like Kelly dislikes gay men, in fact it seems all of her male friends are gay.

R49 So were Nancy Reagan’s.

Her kids can always write books about Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen when they ditched Kathy Griffin for Trump!

R46, Ripa didn't "shame" Clay Aiken. Rosie is full of it and was just expressing her jealousy of Ripa by siding with Aiken who was clearly wrong.

Shockingly, Clay had to be taught on live television that you just don't put your hands over women's mouths.

I would have said "people's mouths" but no way would Clay have pulled a stunt like that with a guy. He'd wouldn't risk getting his ass kicked.

R46, Clay wouldn't have pulled that stunt with an old guy like Regis either.

Among many things, it's disrespectful behavior. He did it to Ripa because she is a woman and he thought less of her because of it. Maybe he wasn't conscious of his bias against women but that is exactly the sentiment he was expressing.

R50, as long as they gave her free clothes or gifts. Nancy was a whore.

My partner’s cousin is very wealthy ($20-25 million in a fly over state) and his son is 19. The kid drives a 2018 S class Mercedes and lives with his parents in a $4 million home. They spend a month in Europe every summer. He graduated from high school last year and wants to attend college out of state, so his parents are making him take a gap year to save up for college. He is working as a waiter in a high end steakhouse, and making great money, but I don’t understand why. This is the second person that I know that came from money with parents that did this. If I had kids, I would pay for college before I would buy them an expensive luxury vehicle. Even my broke assed parents helped out with college as much as they could.

She sent the bottom sons straight to their sugar daddies, they will be alright.

She should be ashamed of herself to say her son is experiencing "extreme poverty". He's not living in a cardboard box.

R57, agree, and if anything really went wrong - like illness or whatever - there is no question his parents would have his back.

She probably considers a $100,000 per year allowance as “poverty”

They still know they are going to inherit money. They still know of there is an emergency their parents will help them out. That was my problem. I always counted on a gift of money if I somehow was floundering - never was except for a few things. And because I figured I'd get a windfall in an inheritance I didn't save like I should have or try to increase my assets by investing.

It's very psychological.

Their college educations were paid for in full and didn't some of the kids get backstage jobs with the dad's show? Opportunities that others would kill for.

[quote]She was clear that she wanted to show the EP who's the boss.

Yeah, she's the boss. That's why they brought in Ryan Seacrest, someone more famous than Ripa, who has a lengthy history of doing talk shows and has his own established audience of fraus to take Michael's place. . That was ABC's/Disney's way of showing her who's TRULY boss. And has she stepped out of line since? She's not stupid. Immature, yes. But not dumb.

If she's gleeful seeing her own kids wanting for cash, there's no hope for the rest of the us.

r55 some do it for prestige...

like the number of celebrities and mega athletes that have their kids apply for scholarships -- there's never been a shortage of those kind of controversies at UCLA.. Only a limited space for said scholarships and yet someone with the ability to pay taking it because it will look good on their c.v. and their future applications to grad school.

Or we could look at the SATs scandal and how just a short time later, unis were discussing dropping standardize testing altogether...

Career politicians kids are the bloody worse on this... but also, a good wakeup call for anyone that thinks the American duopoly is all that different from one another. . . especially with the gross facade of being just like you in their struggles of school choices and keeping their little shitheads out of the press. They're only children, why, oh, why won't anyone think of the children?

last decade, celebs went off the deep end with their kids... mostly due to the social influenza when their kids were caught publically starting fires ior smashing windows in protest, oft the first caught doing it... some as young as eleven, but of course, escaping penalty when others were being arrested... despite videos of them and later their parents being proud of them back then too...

r63 it's just sheer fraudom.. ithe trend has shifted to more conservative attitudes. Expect more of hollywood's progressives to start coming out with increasingly regressive opinions.... to avoid woke backlash.

You hear this attitude too often with celebs. Don't know where the anger comes from. She gets paid millions to do fucking nothing with her gay co-star- you'd think she could share the free, unearned money.

[quote] It's really her business what she does, but it is increasingly difficult to succeed in this country if you're starting with nothing. So her children will actually face more financial obstacles than she did.

Being given every advantage growing up, including a college education + your parents connections is certainly not "starting with nothing." He's been given everything that he needs to be successful.

Kelly Ripa is very successful from having a strong work ethic, meeting and knowing the right people, and financially astute. She went from high school to All My Children, she never went to college, she's basically self made. She went from humble beginnings as a simple girl from Jersey to a multimillion dollar net worth today ($250+ m). Talk show $15-$20/year, TV endorsements, She and Mark have a production company, she's a smart cookie. She's very down to earth, a wonderful wife and mother, and her kids will be fine. She and Mark are paying for their kids college educations, that's a great start in life. I'm team Kelly. :-)

Kelly's only fault is being friends with Andy. Anderson, I can understand.

My parents sent me out on my own but the difference is that they didn’t have a choice.

At least she didn't cut off her kids' foreskins.

Kelly Ripa’s rolemodel is Candy Spelling.

Kelly Ripa will have no need to be like Candy Spelling if she raised her kids right as they were growing up.

Maybe her son can start making some money as a go-go boy/rentboy. His Dad can make introductions to the right people.

Andy would be his first customer.

Can her kids become Mannys for Andy or Cooper?

If she really mean business she should start cutting off fingers and toes. That’ll get them motivated.

I went to school with many kids like Michael. Unless he is a complete idiot, his college chums or parents connections will find him a decent job. He won't make $20 million a year, but he'll make a nice living.

Marie Osmond was roundly bashed for the same kind of thinking. Sheryl Underwood and Sharon Osbourne disagreed with her stance on the show.

[quote]And the fact that a pack of fools want to [expletive] about that, I say let em."

what's the expletive here? Bitch? Did this interview come from Highlights magazine?

What do I like about Candy Spelling? Her name. Candy, as in Candy Sprinkles, Candy Counter, Candy Samples. Who doesn't love candy? What do I like about Kelly Ripa? Not one fucking thing. She oozes vanity. She has got to be a tiny monster. Her shrill, midget voice grates.

I'm sure Uncle Anderson, Uncle David and Uncle Andy are there with cash for Michael when he can't make his rent.

Kelly is right to not spoil her kids. After all, she had to suck a lot of strange dick to get to her station in life.

I don't believe r21 for a second. If you're really an older person, you cannot possibly have lived your entire life believing everyone started out on their own the second they turned 18, without a penny of help from their parents.

Well, when Kelly dies and the children gather for the reading of the will, will the phrase “for reasons that are well known to them” be part of it?

Most kids are not sent out into the world without a dime and without any help from parents. It may be a little help, like some cheap car to get them by, or helping buy them work clothes, or it might be a bigger financial assist like helping with tuition. It's not normal to kick a kid out when they're 18 and tell them "fuck you, you're on your own." It's even less normal to do that when the kid is used to living a high-income lifestyle.

If the PR shill at r67 is right, she's paying for their college education, and I would bet anything that includes clothes, food, apartment, transportation, spending money, books, all of it. She's calling that "extreme poverty." It's ridiculous.

Walk the three blocks, LAZY LOLA!!

“I didn’t know our daughter had Postmates,” the talk show host, 49, divulged during the Tuesday, January 21, episode of Live With Kelly and Ryan. “She’s at college and we signed her up for a meal plan ‘cause we’re not monsters. We signed her up for a meal program.”

However, the New York University freshman, 18, preferred selecting her own food from a bevy of the city’s finest restaurants. “But you know, she doesn’t like the meals at school, so she was ordering Postmates,” she explained. “Here’s what would happen. She would order the $7 salad, but it would cost $25 to have it delivered three blocks in New York City.”

Ripa revealed that she and husband Mark Consuelos did not take the pricey purchases lightly and decided to cut off Lola at the source. “Oh, we shut down that debit card account she had,” she said.

She's a lousy parent. I'd do anything to help my kids.

Quite a highfalutin' attitude for a Jersey girl who made it big by shaking her tits on Dance Party USA!

I'd want to save my daughter from that kind of indignity. Ripa's just pushing her toward Onlyfans.

Three words of advice for you Kelly and Mark:

Money or Morgue

My experience is the same as r21. I was out, living on my own at 18 because my step father was an abusive alcoholic who I couldn't wait to get away from. Rented a room in a house, went to junior colleges, then a UC school. Paid it all with student loans. My parents offer to "help" me pay an IRS debt that I got from a lousy tax guy was that they would charge me interest if I wanted to "borrow" money from them. Nope. Paid it all on my own. My parents never gave me a dime after 18. In some ways I'm WAAAAY behind my peers at 53. Never could afford a house and likely never will. Never will be able to retire. But I'm really proud of the shit I've accomplished all on my own.

I know people in their 30s who still live with mommy and daddy and couldn't cook a meal for themselves if they had to. I don't understand parents who coddle their kids after age 18. It's so foreign to me. But then again, so are people who love their parents and parents who love their kids. Does not compute with me. I think parents, if they can, should help their kids with college but that's it. If you raise a kid who cannot make it on their own, you have failed as a parent. It's literally your job to teach a human being how to survive on their own.

Unless I misread, isn't Kelly talking about after college? We give you an education, and then it's up to you from then on? Nothing wrong with that, and I'm sure they've had plenty of discussions about it or whatever financial arrangements were made.

I like the Ripa/ Consuelos family. I don't care what anyone says!

they should be paying their children a lot more....

I loved that moment when she called over live on-air to Rosie on The View when Rosie stood up on behalf of the Clay Aiken fisting SNAFU.

It was just good ol' fashion live-TV with a bunch of cackling hens.

But those halcyon days are long over.

Other than that, I only like Kelly Ripa because of the way Amy Poehler would imitate her.

Kellys Fem Gay son probably can probably make money on OF as long as he doesn't talk because is girly lisp is a boner killer.

He's cute. I love how quick Ryan was to offer up his house.

Did they fire Mark from the show because his son was so bad?

Tough love. Sink or swim kids.

Yeah right bitch. Then I guess your kids will take the route you did, to make a living. Can't stand her.

They keep insisting that their son Joaquin is their favorite child. Will he also get shafted?

There's nothing wrong with teaching kids to be self-reliant

but the way Kelly brags about and laughs at them for being poor - it's just obnoxious

Just heard Kelly might be leaving LIVE, is this true?

I haven't watched her crap show for years.

Why would she leave a job that pays a fortune for virtually no work? She's on a book tour.

It’s unnatural and extremely cuntish of her.

She’s full of shit (the size of a rabbits since bitch hasn’t eaten a full meal since the Clinton administration) She’s supporting them, she clearly has them work but it’s definitely not a struggle.

Celebs make these type of proclamations because they think it makes them more relatable to regular people.

But it doesn't! It just makes them seem out-of-touch.

Well, it sounds like they paid for their childrens’ education, so there’s that.

I wonder if Kelly ever had a dude beating up her pussy, with another one plowing her face, while she gave two more handjobs at the same time?

Who paid for Lola's humongous tits? Kelly didn't skimp money on those!

If they're real, those big tit genes must come from Mark's side. Kelly, even when heavier, was flat chested and so is her mom.

Those tits are natural. If anything, she needs a reduction.

God, they would be fun to play with. I, a faggot, am bemused at how much I like her tits. She should definitely get them taken down a couple sizes the day she turns 33, however.

Also, if that chick isn't 18 I'm going throw myself out a window.

R122, come down off the ledge. She's 21.

Is Lola still with her BF Tarek Fahmy?

Her kids are going to pull a Menendez Brothers on her and Mark.

Lola's tits are bigger than her mom's tits and ass combined. If those tits are real, she definitely needs breast reduction surgery. In few years she will have back problems.

I worked with a woman whose daughter was naturally slim, but she had the same huge tits. The daughter got breast reduction surgery and looked much better.

I always chatted with the daughter. Before she had the reduction surgery, the daughter told me, "I'm so sick of men slobbering over my breasts, most men are never looking at my face when talking to me."

Kelly Ripa PROUD to cut off her tits.

If i had kids, I'd buy them an apartment and cut them loose.

And I'm sure her kids can't wait to cut her off.

[quote]And I'm sure her kids can't wait to cut her off.

Not true at all, most celebrity kids, unless their parents help then get a foot in the door and then they can actually earn their own way, are more than happy to live off their rich parents for as long as they can.

Most of Sting's six adult children are still living off him. All of them claim to work in various areas of showbiz. Sting's eldest is 45 and his youngest is around 26.

Two of Sting's children, his eldest son Joe from his first marriage to Irish actress Frances Tomelty and his youngest daughter with Trudie Styler, Eliot, are actually working musicians, neither appears to make much of living from their endeavors, but they both have bands and have records out. His lesbian daughter Eliot, she's a singer & bassist, lives in a Brooklyn apartment Sting bought. She does tour a lot, but she's hardly rich and famous.

Another daughter, Mickey, is a working actress, she's currently in the series "Snowpiercer", the rest of his kids, they seem to dabble, one son tried modeling, another claims to be a documentary filmmaker.

His eldest daughter, with Frances, Fuchsia, is around 40, she still doesn't seem to have any kind of job, despite listing herself as an 'actress'. All this daughter seems to do is post her travel pics at her IG and poses in designer clothing.

It seems most children of celebrities have no problem whatsoever with being supported by their rich and famous parents.

These kids grow up spoiled. The best thing a parent can do for them is to cut them off in their twenties.

[quote]These kids grow up spoiled. The best thing a parent can do for them is to cut them off in their twenties.

I don't have a problem with these kids rich, connected and famous parents helping them get a foot in the door or helping them by investing in a business they think they can do. Especially if their kids have actual talent.

However, so many of these trust funders appear to be lazy and in arrested development. Most of them dabble. "Why work if you don't have to?" Many of these kids seem to think that way. Their rich and/or rich and famous parents need to give them a time frame when the support will end.

Do you know how many of these poseur trust fund assholes live in Brooklyn. All claim to be 'artists' and 'creatives' few actually work, they hang with others who are just like them.

I’m confused, is she having a double mastectomy?

She'd better be ready, for reasons that are well known to her., for their tell-all memoirs

r136 most of them require a handicapable boot camp for a couple years. Very few non celebs have basic life skills for that matter anymore.. It's not just hyperbole because of few silly memes or videos. younger millennials, Zs lack defined cliques and posess a strong herd mentality Individuality isn't their strong suit. . . which makes common sense rather uncommon to them.

frankly, they rather need to bring back home economics programs. .

Tough love. That is necessary.

To bad she couldn't cut off her own disgusting personality.

Start with taking away their fucking smart phones or trade them for a basic cell phone, one which does what a phone is supposed to do, receive and make calls.

When I hear some moron say, 'My entire LIFE is on my phone." My response is, "How fucking sad for you."

R143, thanks Grampa. I'll call you next time I need directions.

[quote][R143], thanks Grampa. I'll call you next time I need directions.

I'm not an eldergay, I just hate cell phones, always have, always will. I hate seeing people walking around looking at their cells, I hate seeing a group of people out to dinner, but they aren't talking to each other, they are looking at their fucking phones. Why bother meeting for dinner?

I hate hearing others loud lame conversations about nothing.

Of course, I have a cell but I hate it. I refuse to do my banking or put any other sensitive info on something which might get robbed. Sue me.

Get back to me when you cannot straighten out your neck in a few years.
