Did any on you see Clay Aiken on Regis and Kelly last Friday? He was sub hosting for Regis with Kelly. First I will say that I have always loved Clay. He is from Raleigh, North Carolina, where I live and some of his family went to school with some of my family and friends. He was my favorite Idol and I have never seen him be anything but gracious, polite and humble....that is until that show. The crowd gave him a great welcome. ANd then it started.
Clay was self absorbed, condesending, rude, and the most horrible guest co-host I have ever seen. I am still in shock.
THe previous day there had been about 12 deaths in North Carolina from tornadoes. When Kelly mentioned it, Clay said he had just heard about it and he said it was sad but you could tell he had no interest in the topic at all. Kelly then said well, let's talk about you and he lit up and said yes, more about me.
He was very insulting to Kelly every chance he got. He would put her down. Told her that she looked like a person who couldn't sing.
Yesterday she told Regis and everyone on air about the horrible experience. SHe was right. It was soooo bizarre. He really acted hostile to her. SHe says he put his hand over her mouth when she was trying to interview a guest. I missed that as I ran to another room for a moment, Watching the show was painful.
I don't know if he was off his medication. He says he is on it for anxiety or if he has turned into a jerk. I am so embarrassed that he represented this town and state that way. I hope he apoligizes to Kelly publically and offers some explanation.
