Pat Sajak is unhappy with Ryan Seacrest's recent breakup with Aubrey Paige. He believes this shows Ryan isn't suitable to replace him as the host of "Wheel of Fortune," sources tell Closer.
At 77, the game show veteran views Ryan, 49, as disloyal for ending things with 26-year-old model Aubrey after three years together. An insider shares these details.
Sources indicate that Pat is still upset about being pushed into retirement for Ryan, the famous "American Idol" host. He reportedly can't stop criticizing his successor.
"Pat thinks Ryan is a wolf in sheep’s clothing," an insider discloses. Pat is advising those close to him, including Vanna White, aged 67, to be cautious.
Pat holds dear to his traditional values, a source notes. He sees Ryan as an "overhyped punk" and accuses him of not treating women properly.
However, this might just be jealousy. An insider suggests that Pat is envious because Ryan has already charmed the "Wheel of Fortune" team.
