Kelly Ripa Battling Mental Disorder!

Sound of people eating sparks explosive anger.

LIVE! talk host Kelly Ripa is battling a bizarre mental condition that triggers a red-hot rage whenever she hears harmless noises people make when eating!

 “The sounds of swallowing and chewing make me insane,” she admits. “My gut reaction is to yell.”

Adds an insider: “It’s difficult for her to cope sometimes. Some of the guests on the show have driven Kelly to near madness with their fidgeting and foot-wagging, coffee-slurping and noisy exhales.

“You can see Kelly’s anxiety spreading over her face before they fortunately break for commercial.”

The 46-year-old chatter box has battled misophonia all her life. The condition triggers explosive anger over the sounds of chewing, chomping, slurping or gurgling.

“As early as I can remember, certain sounds of eating would bother me,” Kelly admits.
