Jenn Tran was shut down while doing a promotional interview for  âThe Bachelorette.â
On July 8, hours before her debut as ABCâs leading lady, the reality star was in the hot seat on âLive With Kelly & Mark.â
But at one point, âThe Bacheloretteâ star tried to turn the tables on married TV hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, and it did not go well for her.
Hereâs what you need to know.
Jenn Tran Asked Kelly Ripa Where She Met Her Husband
Early on in the interview, Tran revealed that she was studying to be a physicianâs assistant, but stepped away to look for love on TV.
After noting that the 26-year-old âThe Bacheloretteâ star is âdrop-dead gorgeous,â Ripa noted, âYou could meet anybody anywhere at any time.â She then asked Tran âWhy, whyâ she agreed to do âThe Bachelorette.â
âI mean is Hinge any better?â Tran fired back, referencing a popular dating app.
Ripa replied to tell her she could meet someone in medical school instead of dating apps or reality TV.
Tran then turned the tables on Ripa and Consuelos, who met in the 1990s when they were co-stars on the ABC soap operaâ All My Children.â
âI have a question,â Tran asked Ripa. âWhere did you meet your husband?â
âAt work. I met my husband at work,â a dumbfounded Ripa replied.
When Tran tried to compare Ripaâs relationship it to âThe Bacheloretteâ by pointing out that Ripa met Consuelos on TV, the talk show host got heated.
âNo, no those are not the same, âRipa said. âWe were both professional. Are you acting on your show?â
Ripa then clarified, âI didn’t marry [AMC character] Mateo Santos, I married Mark Consuelos.â
The awkward segment quickly turned to Tranâs family.

Elsewhere in the interview, Tran refused to tell Ripa the fate of one of her suitors and teased, âYou’ll have to watch tonight to see.â
Ripa made it clear she would not be tuning into the ABC dating show.
âI’m not going to [watch] so just tell me,â Ripa replied.
But a defiant Tran insisted, âNo this is going to be incentive for you to watch.â
In 2019, Ripa declared that âThe Bachelorâ franchise sickens her. according to Us Weekly. During an episode of âLive With Kelly and Ryan,” she told the audience, âYou know how I feel about this show. It disgusts me.â
Ripa explained that she was disgusted because she âcouldn’t stand the idea of 25 exceptional women fighting over one ordinary fella.â
âYou know how I feel, ladies: We are too special to be arguing over a guy,â she added.
At the time, âBachelorâ creator Mike Fleiss fired off a tweet to warn Ripa, âEasy, @KellyRipa… #TheBachelor franchise pays your salary!â
Tranâs season of âThe Bacheloretteâ premieres at 8 pm on ABC.
