Rosie Jokes About Being 'Fired' by Barbara Walters

Posted on October 5, 2007


Rosie O’Donnell raised eyebrows last night when she jumped on stage during Roseanne Barr’s NYC comedy routine and declared, "When I was fired by Barbara Walters…”

The statement varies drastically from what Rosie and executive producer Barbara announced after her departure. Barbara insisted the decision was mutual.

Rosie also reportedly claimed that “View” producers insist the women wear earpieces, which dictate what to say. But Rosie said she refused to wear them.

But today Rosie's rep said that she was just joking, saying, "Rosie was not fired. She was doing a comic bit...Rosie herself chose to leave early and was not fired!"

Rosie said on her blog that the joke was "taken out of context." The true story about leaving, she writes, is that she "asked for $10 million" to stay on the show, but "they said no."

Rosie: I wish you all the luck in the world. I think you are a great human being. If people are jealous of you…too bad for them. Donald Trump is a jerk and a half. I hope you get your own talk show and are very very successful. Peace

I used to love Rosie, but now? Get help Rosie. You are vulgar, mean and just not funny. And just because we dont agree with you doesnt give you the right to be mean. Opnions dear, that is why it is called the View.I wont watch Rosie again, And she is ruining my joy of Nip Tuck. And the book? I wouldnt waste my hard earned money or my precious time on it.Shame on you Rosie.
