Talk show veteran Kelly Ripa sometimes talks about her bedroom life with husband Mark Consuelos, but not this time.
The host of "Live With Kelly and Ryan" wrote that she passed out during sex because of cysts on her ovaries.
She was taken to the emergency room.
She wrote that her eyes shift between the fuzzy images on the screen and the remnants of her ovarian tormentor.
One of us is completely undaunted because sex can be so traumatic. He is eating saltines and ordering another apple juice. Mark might be at a spa. I am wondering when the other two cysts will burst.
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos were both well dressed at the Oscars, but that wasn't the case when he took her to the emergency room, she wrote. In this photo, Jeff Kravitz is pictured.
Ripa said her husband's bulge was all that onlookers made it out to be. Her daughter walked in on the couple having sex on Father's Day because she was the teen's birthday. Ripa said that she said that you ruined her birthday and her life.
The 1997 ER visit is part of her book. According to Haute Living, Consuelos, known these days for his bad-guy role on the TV series "Riverdale," put his unconscious wife in a French-cut leotard and red Manolo Blahniks for a trip to the dentist.
Ripa wrote that her husband dressed her like a dime store prostitution in her time of need. It is baffling to me that this is the best costume for the day that he could find for me, to the point where when I was on the stretcher, I was having a nightmare. I didn't know I had arrived.
