She's Kelly Ripa, air gossip controller.
The Live With Kelly and Mark cohost recalled having to check the altitude of a fellow celeb on a flight who got a little carried away while chatting on a phone about other stars, not far from where the TV personality was seated with her and Mark Consuelos' son Joaquin, 21.
"A famous person got on the plane and said famous person was shouting into their phone about other famous people," Kelly told her husband on their show May 9. "And I sort of reached over and Joaquin was like, 'Mom, what are you doing?' and I sort of slapped at this person."
"Not slapped." she clarified. "I just like tried to reach them. And the famous person turned around and was like, [mouths] 'Oh, hi!' And I was like, 'You were shouting.' And famous person went, 'Oh, my God! Oh my God! Thank you.'"
Mark—with whom he also shares son Michael, 26, and daughter Lola, 22—then asked what everyone was thinking, "Was it good dish?" But as Kelly noted, "It was just dish."
The entire situation, however, posed a moral dilemma for the 53-year-old.
"It was like the angel and the devil on your shoulder," she said. "The devil was like, 'Let them keep going! You want to hear the end of this story.' And then the angel was like, 'But it's not right and it's none of our business. It's none of any of our businesses. Save him now.' 'Let him go! Let's see if he brings your name up!' 'What other people think of you is none of your business. Tell him to be quiet. Set a good example for Joaquin.' 'The hell with Joaquin!'"
She continued, "All of that was happening. But it happened in like three seconds. It happened very quickly and I was like, 'Shh, shh, shh! Everybody's listening to you.'"
