Instead, the daytime diva has banished him to his dressing room, which “hasn’t had the trash taken out in several days.” While that may just be some maintenance issues in the studio, Strahan reportedly “grumbled that Kelly was probably behind that, too.”

Ripa is also seething that Strahan is getting a send-off from the network, which she announced on the May 3 episode, prompting the crowd to boo Michael.
“She doesn’t want a weeklong celebration of his time with the show because she says he hasn’t earned it,” the source said.
