Rosie: Why I Quit 'The View'


Life without Rosie O’Donnell began on “The View” Tuesday morning as the ladies said their public goodbyes to their former co-host.

It was the first show without Rosie since the explosive spat with Elisabeth Hasselbeck that led to Rosie calling Elisabeth “a coward.”

In Rosie’s place was guest host Whoopi Goldberg, and the women wasted no time getting right to the heart of the matter.

Barbara Walters looked at the camera and stated, “We are very close friends. Rosie, if you’re watching, nothing will change that.”

While “The View” went on, Rosie spent the weekend boating with her family.

And now “Extra” can reveal the exact reason Rosie said goodbye.

Rosie wrote on her web blog, “When I saw the split screen, that’s when I knew it was over.”

It was the moment that spelled the end for Rosie, when “The View” showed the two pointing fingers and yelling, side-by-side.

Rosie went on to reveal on her blog that she felt like “a foster kid for a year.” She wrote, “I came and we considered adoption but I didn’t really fit into the family.”

Also, believe it or not, Rosie said she sent a note to Elisabeth!

On the show Tuesday morning, Elisabeth said, “I think this weekend gave us the opportunity to tackle our most important hot topic yet, and that was the power of forgiveness.”

Forgive and forget is one thing arch-nemesis Donald Trump just can’t seem to do.

Donald gave “Extra” his own piece of mind on Rosie’s exit, explaining, “The reason she quit was that she couldn’t take the heat.”

He’s even taking full credit for her decision!

“I was the one that started Rosie's downfall, and I'm very proud of that because I exposed Rosie for what she is,” Trump told us. “She's a very self-destructive person, not a very bright person, and ultimately she's a loser.”

So what’s next for the embattled comedian?

Rosie said she may spend some time on tour with Cyndi Lauper.

As for “The View,” Barbara Walters wants everyone to know Rosie is missed.

“She’s welcome back anytime she wants,” Barbara said on the show.

To all the people that can only say Rosie is fat and ugly, listen up. Go back to school and get a better education. If the only words you can find in your vocabulary is fat and ugly to try to hurt someones feelings, then your mom and dad wasted their money on your schooling. If you do not like someone, do you really think saying they are fat and ugly is going to do them harm? Get real. I bet someone in your family is fat and/or ugly but you still love them. Well the same for Rosie. She’s no beauty queen and yes she’s over weight. However, there are more people out there that love her then hate her. And guess what, it’s the mean ones like yourself that end up with no money and no one around them that love them. As for Donald Trump, the only reason he’s on TV talking about Rosie is because he has nothing left to sell. His TV show went down in flames and so has everyone of marriages so far. When Rosie comes back to TV someday she will have another big following just like she always has. Good luck to all of you. Just remember if your fat and ugly we still love you. You are not a wasted soul you are someone’s mother, father, sister, brother…. God Bless!

There is no replacement for Rosie, Rosie is the view, tHE REST ARE NO TALENTS THAT HOPE TO BE rOSIE WHEN THEY GROW UP.if it pisses people off because she speaks the truth , tough someone needs to ask hasselback how many of Bishs reelatives are on the fron t lines ? i,d bet none ! Rosie is correct and hasselback should volunteer to accompany the chaplain when he needs to notify a family that their loved one is dead .otherwise shut her large mouth up.

Just look at the picture of Rosie…

That is one big fat ugly disgusting pig… Yuck

Fat, ugly, dumb and a rotten personality to boot. Rosie sure hit the super-fecta of being a terrible person!!!

Even in her “Queen of Nice” days, those who knew her thought she was a horrible witch. Out of the range of cameras she’d demean and yell at everyone.

Now the world is seeing this witch for what she is, a dumb fat ugly pig who has no clue.

Folks, she’s no genius, she’s a high school graduate with a big mouth.

Each time she is confronted about her inane conspiracy theories, she runs off the show. Remember when she said that steel could not melt…

Here are some past Rosie comments. Perhaps the Rosie apologists in here can explain her words?

O’Donnell: “Well, you know, they use those words so that they can scare people ‘terror’ and ‘cell.’”

O’Donnell: “Well, I think there might be some guy on dialysis in a cave (Osama Bin Laden), but I don’t think he’s really a threat.”

O’Donnell: “Well, listen, Elisabeth, we shouldn’t be fighting this war, because we were not attacked by either of the nations we invaded. 19 Saudis were on those planes and we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq.”

O’Donnell: “hundreds of thousands of humans - not “terrorists” - Iraqi mothers and fathers - have been killed by US.”

O’Donnell: “Don’t fear the ‘Terrorists’. They’re mothers and fathers.”

O’Donnell: “Radical Christianity is Just as Threatening as Radical Islam”

O’Donnell: “But interesting with the British sailors, there were 15 British sailors and Marines who apparently went into Iranian waters and they were seized by the Iranians. And I have one thing to say: Gulf of Tonkin, Google it. Okay.”

O’Donnell: “World Trade Center Seven, miraculously, for the first time in history, steel was melted by fire. It is physically impossible.”.”

O’Donnell: “You know what concerns me? How many Supreme Court judges are Catholic.”

O’Donnell: “We have more convicted felons in the US Army.”

O’Donnell: “I just want to say something. 655,000 Iraqi civilians are dead. Who are the terrorists?”


Good riddance you big fat pig!!!

I can’t believe people are being so insensitive. No matter whose side your on it is very uncouth and discourteous to call someone a “fat, ugly pig.” How much does that say about you, the writer? What are we, eight years old? Have some humanity.

That fat pig quit the view because she could never support her outrageous statements. She called our troops terrorists and then does what she does best - run and hide.

Fat, ugly, dumb and a rotten personality to boot. She sure hit the super-fecta of being a waste of flesh (to be exact, A LOT of flesh)!!!

Now the world is seeing this witch for what she is, a dumb fat ugly pig who has no clue.

Folks, she’s no genius, she’s an obnoxious high school graduate with a big mouth.


Good riddance you big fat slob!!!

Saying negative things about someones physical apperance shows a lack of wisdom and maturity.
This society is spiritually wounded. It begins with the mindset that we are the source of our own abilitys. Nothing is by chance There are answers for every question and thoses answers come from one source. GODS WORD! NONE PLACE ELSE!

THE BIBLE SAYS— IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE I AM WHO I SAY THAT I AM. YOU WILL DIE IN YOUR SINS. WHO DOES GOD SAY THAT HE IS? If we were as knowledgeable about the study of the Holy Bible ,as we are about everything else that we “know” in our OWN MINDS. We would have proper understanding and be able to LOVE properly all people, countries, nations, presidents, etc… Jesus Loves you!

DEBBIE the saying is: It is better to keep quiet and let people think you are an idiot then open your mouth and prove it.TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE,PLUS LOOKS LIKE why do you keep calling PEOPLE names. Sounds like you are jealous.A real man/WOMAN would not have to say such things. You are obviously not manly/WOMAN enough to take on anyone. And if you think we all believe/CARE ABOUT YOUR OPINIONS you are the dump truck, listen up, Rosie quit/OR WAS fired.Fat?uglY?dumb?and a rotten personality? SO WHAT/WHATEVER. Folks,she’s no genius,SO INSECURE AND LOW SELF-ESTEEM ISSUES FOR DEBBIE CAKES.
So why do you DEBBIE not wake up and smell the sewage coming from your present government and the lies they are spewing out to you.

Rosie was hitting it right on the nail with her views and I guess that hit a nerve in THE VIEW. SHE quit the view because she could never support her outrageous statements. She called our troops terrorists and then does what she does best, BUT MEANT IT AS WE WOULD SEE IT AS IF WE WERE INVADED BY STRANGERS. I PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS- I SUPPORT THEM IN THE A WAR ALOT OF US WISH WAS OVER.

Dump Truck has a hate on for Rosie because she exposed him for the jerk he is, and his action and words have proven her words to be true.
The view will never been the same again, regardless of who they bring on to host. It seems they are getting rid of the women with brains and keeping those that need someone to blow in their ear and give them a refil. Joy goes with the flow and rarely gives any of the viewers a complete insight on who she is and what she thinks about “hot topics”. Elisabeth is a child pretending to be grown up.Her comparing the war to a football game is clear evidence.She needs to leave the view and go put her applications in for more reality tv shows.
