While Ripa has been on television for decades now and met her husband while they were both actors on All My Children, she recently admitted she's not a fan of being in front of the camera. "I've been saying that it's time to 'fold 'em' for 20 years. For 20 years I've been saying, 'I can't do it anymore. I can't do it. I'm too old for this crap. I need to fin another career. I need to get off camera.' I've been saying that forever," Ripa revealed on Real Housewives of New York City, Bethany Frankel's podcast called Just B according to PEOPLE.
"Being in front of the camera is not something I've ever enjoyed. I'm not very comfortable. I always say I could do my job for 200 years if it didn't happen on camera," she added. Frankel continued to the conversation and asked, "Are you self-conscious about the way you look or you don't want the attention on you?" Ripa replied, "All of that! I don't like the attention, I don't go to parties, I don't go to Hollywood events. I don't do any of that stuff. I would rather buy clothes than have to ask to borrow anything. It's painful."
She later added more details of why she doesn't enjoy being in front of the camera saying, "I don't love being on camera. It's never been something that fed me in any sort of egotistical way. I find my own voice grating, so I apologize to your listeners if they're like, 'This is nails on a chalkboard.' I feel you."
