Ripa responded, "Oh, that's a no-no," as sweetly as she could and added, "I don't know where that hand's been, Honey!"
To me this could've just pissed her off, for one she is a mother of three and two no matter what you have no clue where his hands were first. How would you feel if someone had done it to you? Imagine he could've just sneezed in them or even just used the restroom before going on stage. GROSS! Am I right?
This matter didn't end here for poor Ripa though, it continued on during the weekend and on Monday she made a small reference towards why she thought it was wrong. Ripa, "There was a lack of respect, and when you're a certain person, you're in the public eye, you have to be respectful of other people and I don't think he was respectful in any way."
I can understand that, it was very disrespectful. I can see possibly a spouse doing it but of course he knows he's be in a LOT of trouble after the show. But for some man or even a woman to do this is uncalled for.
All didn't end though, on Tuesday during "The View" Rosie O'Donnell decided to make a comment on this, "To me that's a homophobic remark. If that was a straight man, if that was a cute man, if that was a guy that she didn't question his sexuality, she would have said a different thing."
Almost immediately Ripa called into the show addressing Rosie, "I have three kids (and) he's shaking hands with everybody in the audience. It's cold and flu season. That's what I meant, and to imply that it's homophobic is outrageous, Rosie. And you know better. You should be more responsible."
So what do you think? I don't think it was homophobic, mabye Rosie wouldn't have minded Aiken putting his hand all over her mouth to shut her up but I know I would. I have three kids myself and they've been sick left and right this season, I'd be afraid of them getting sick yet again. I don't even like to shake hands during flu season anymore.
