A top producer of “The View” has reportedly been fired by ABC brass for brashly berating former host Rosie O’Donnell in front of the show’s entire staff, according to Page Six.

Jennifer Shepard-Brookman, a senior producer who has worked at the ABC daytime show for over eight years, was “profoundly and publicly disrespectful” to O’Donnell in front of the whole staff at a production meeting in early February, show insiders told the New York Post.

Shepard-Brookman’s behavior towards O’Donnell was so brutal, that staff, including O’Donnell herself, complained to ABC’s human resources department, according to Page Six.

Bloaty O'Donut can be rude to guests but a producer cannot do the same to her? That sounds just like a liberal.

Must of made the mistake of telling her to shave.

[bigbob]

I’m thinking you could be the Titanic multiplied by the giant redwood of rudeness to her and still not come close to how she has been rude to others.

Just like a fat Lib. Rosie can dish it out but can't take it. Isn't the producer the boss of the show?

[Dilbert San Diego]

Somebody got tired for dissing Rosie O’Donnell?? And the other day somebody got fired on the Univision network for dissing Michelle Obama. Geez its getting ugly out there. If you diss a liberal icon you will be summarily fired and perhaps blacklisted from getting other jobs in the media. Be careful its a minefield out there.

Uh, oh either Jennifer didn't bring donuts that day, or she took Rosie's favorite three donuts. Oops. You're fired!

Rosie O’Donnell (Bloaty O’Donut) is rude and disrespectful everyone, but no one can be rude to her.

The bully goes running to the HR department when someone finally tells her off.

[Obadiah]

The shrews of the left. Scorned women of the left. They are bitter and merciless.

Or perhaps the producer was just a plain normal heterosexual woman who likes men and Rosie's advances were spurned.

...

Nope. It’s not professional. However, I’d like to see a video, or hear the other side of the story.

‘During a production meeting, Jennifer began mumbling behind Rosie, who told her, “If you have something to say, say it to my face!” So Jennifer did — she laced into Rosie, and there was a shouting match,’ the source said.

I suspect that producer, after working with Rosie, finally had enough and decided to go out in a blaze of glory. Over the next few months and years, my guess is she will conclude it was worth it.

Guess she got her panties in a twist over “fat fag”.

Are you kidding? Rosie uses one of those as a sex toy!
