Hoda Kotb decided to address the drama from last week regarding Kelly walking off from guest-hosting The Today Show over dressing room issues, which resulted in Rita Ora stepping in as a last minute

Conspiracy theory: Rita secretly trashed Kelly's dressing room so she could swoop and steal that gig!

She gave Jennifer the heads up about the early bird special to seal the deal even more.

I have my own conspiracy theory: Kelly's stuff is to divert attention from whatever the hell happened with Savannah that also got some traction around the same time.

whaaaaaat

I just remember seeing a headline about Savannah. I don't really pay that much attention to the stuff that doesn't get on ONTD, and I don't care about the Today show, so I didn't dig further. I could be entirely off base, but my recollection of the headline was that it wasn't a positive headline.

I think it was that Savannah had interviewed Kelly earlier that morning and kept asking her about Beyonce’s country album. I get feeling slighted!

Hmm... interesting.

[tanglespiders]

oops, i misread the timing, it was the day before, but i would totally get feeling like an afterthought two days in a row and saying fuck it.

Still, what if Savannah might have gotten some heat for completely going off topic in a way that has tangible relation at best, and they decided to say "well, Kelly flaked the next day, let's try and get some traction on that!"

[tanglespiders]

I can see them saying “Let’s play up this diva angle so people forget about that rude-ass interview!”

[genbu_no_miko24]

Seems kinda weak though because Savannah is def not the first nor last interviewer to ask Kelly about Beyonce when it's not relevant to the topic of conservation.

If they're using that as an excuse for people to ignore...seems like a non-issue to bury lol.

Wait, this??

I know y'all don't read, so the tldr is that on Feb 15, Savannah was interviewing Kelly, but continued to ask her questions about Beyonce's new music, even after Kelly tried to steer the conversation back to what she was promoting (a netflix movie). Savannah was absent on Feb 16.

[setsuna16]

Possibly. And if that's the case, then I recant my conspiracy!

[barbarbarian]

I mean, the timing is definitely sus. Now I'm even more intrigued! Lol

Wait you might be on to something lol. Those headlines about Savannah were referring to her interview with Kelly earlier that day, during the 8 am hour of Today. Apparently Savannah kept asking her about Beyonce's new music even though Kelly was there promoting that new Tyler Perry movie she's in. What I don't understand is if Kelly was there for an interview during the 8 am hour and was going to co-host the 10 am hour with Hoda, why was there an issue with dressing rooms at all and why only after the 8 am hour? The only way it makes sense is if she was supposed to have one dressing room for her entire time there, but got booted to a different one after she filmed the earlier segment so they could give the first one to J Lo.
