Kelly Ripa is sparking major concern. The 50-year-old "Live!" host generated multiple comments last week over behavior deemed "hyper" and "extreme," with fans of the syndicated talk show seemingly more worried than ever – both for "All My Children" alum Kelly and, seemingly more so, for 45-year-old co-host Ryan Seacrest. Monday brought a fresh video from "Live!" as Kelly and Ryan were seen chatting before the cameras rolled. The comments are now seeing fans lash out at Kelly. Check it out below.

Scroll for the video. Comments did not land on the kind side as fans, watching Kelly with a close eye, commented. Today saw Kelly and Ryan discussing putting up Christmas trees early, with Kelly, likely referring to COVID, saying she's "had enough."
A comment gaining likes read: "I have watched Kelly since all my children but lately I am having a hard time watching her! She is borderline obnoxious. I had to flip channels this morning."
"Agree," a fan replied, with a third writing: "Yeah she is! Idk what's going on with her!"

Keep scrolling for the video. Kelly, whose appearance last week had seen fans ask "What's wrong with Kelly?" also generated remarks over her interactions with "American Idol" host Ryan.
"I don't like the way she treats Ryan...so condescending," one user remarked – meanwhile, another wrote that "It sure would be nice to hear Ryan finish a story."
Style-wise, though, zero complaints as Kelly rocked a plaid-effect and partly sheer green-and-blue dress with Kelly green heels matching her name. More after the video.

While 2018 brought rumors that Ryan wanted to quit "Live!" over Kelly's "diva" behavior – his reps denied the claims – today has seen fans ask if Ryan is leaving the show he joined back in 2017.
"Kelly barely let them get a word in," one fan wrote about the "segment with Ryan's childhood friends," adding :"You could tell Ryan was struggling with it."
"Keep trying to tell your stories Ryan, I'm listening," another sarcastically added. Concern over Kelly hasn't just been about her behavior, though.

Kelly definitely can't seem to catch a break right now. The mom of three sparked worries over her weight ahead of Halloween, when a pantless "Wonder Woman" throwback saw users calling her "too skinny" and even telling her to "eat something."
Despite dating back to 2017, the image saw users telling Kelly they dreaded one day reading about her "problem with food" – Kelly has never indicated she has an eating disorder. In fact, in 2019, the star told The Cut she's always had a "Peter Pan" body.
