Kelly Ripa is reportedly feeling “betrayed” by co-host Michael Strahan, but there is one person who has her back—Oprah Winfrey.

Winfrey attended the Tribeca Tune In: ‘Greenleaf’ Screening at John Zuccotti Theater at BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center when Entertainment Tonight asked for her opinion on the drama surrounding “LIVE! With Kelly and Michael.”

“Nobody should ever be blindsided,” said Winfrey. “I don’t know who’s in charge, but somebody should’ve said, ‘This is gonna happen.’ You shouldn’t have to read it in the paper. Ever.”
