Kelly Reveals The Positive Response She Received

The next day, on their Feb. 7 show, Michael said he did not see one bad respond on Twitter: “Everybody loved it!”

“Here’s what I learned about myself yesterday,” Kelly said. “People were so kind to me yesterday. It must be far worse than I imagined! I’ve never seen such a positive outpouring of love and affection for me on this show!”

She did say that after scrolling through the positive messages on Twitter, she did see one negative response:

“One guy said, you look like Tom Petty without makeup.” But Kelly wasn’t offended! “Yes, I think I do, in fact, look like Tom Petty!”

Do you think it was brave for Kelly to go makeup free on her show, HollywoodLifers?
