Vanna sends a message as the rumors swirl about their behind-the-scenes beef.
On July 9, Vanna White posted a photo of her and Ryan Seacrest breaking bread together. She captions: “Friends on and off camera. Enjoying one of our favorites, Chicken and Dumplings!” In the photo, they both lean toward each other and smile for the camera while holding spoonfuls of chicken and dumplings. Amid all the rumors of work conflict, the two seem to be finding common ground by sharing a meal. Seemingly, this is Vanna’s way of showing there is peace between them as she clarifies their “on and off camera” friendship. Both Vanna and Ryan are filming their first season together for the fall. Furthermore, time will tell how the new duo works together on the Wheel Of Fortune stage.
However, after Vanna White posted the photo, not everyone was convinced by her statement. Several Wheel Of Fortune fans left comments.
- “I don’t think i can believe anything I read in the news anymore!!! Last week I read that they can’t stand each other, and she is thinking about retiring because she doesn’t like how Ryan does the show. They look happy here.”
- “Very disappointed that Wheel of Fortune chose Ryan Sescrest as Pat’s replacement. There is plenty talent to choose from. Even an unknown would have been better.”
- But one fan thinks Vanna White and Ryan Seacrest need to go. “I will not be watching wheel of Fortune ever again – I absolutely cannot stand fakey Ryan Seacrest, and it’s absolutely time for Vanna to retire.”
- “I have a gut feeling that he will be unkind to Vanna and push her out. He’s sketchy.”
Meanwhile Kelly Ripa gave Vanna a warning about one of Ryan's weak links. Spelling.
