What is is with women and their inability to take compliments? Kelly Ripa is mean!

Following Justin Bieber’s admission that he has a “big crush” on Kelly, she declared that she thinks his announcement is a “cry for help.“ Ouch!

She did preface the diss by sating she "loves" Justin, mainly because her daughters forced her to take them to many Bieber concerts.

“I’m worried about him,“ she joked on Wednesday’s episode of Live! With Kelly and Michael before addressing the 21-year-old pop star directly. “If you need me, I am here and you can call me and we will work it out.“

The mother of three then added, “Thank you, Justin, you really gave me tremendous street cred with my daughter.“

You can see the evidence below.
