Rosie O'Donnell: Shocking Revelations in New Book
Fox News ^ | September 12, 2007 | Roger Friedman

Posted on 09/12/2007 8:31:39 PM PDT by yorkie

Rosie O’Donnell used to break her own limbs with either a baseball bat or a wooden hanger when she was a child.

This revelation, as well as many about her experiences on "The View" last year, is contained in a new book she’s written due shortly called “Celebrity Detox.”

This personal memory, so shocking, is almost thrown toward the end of what is better described as a long essay than a short memoir. [snip] She broke her own bones, she recalls, “my hands and fingers usually. No one knew. It was a secret.” She used a Mets baseball bat she got on bat day or the hanger. Why? It was “proof I had some value, enough to be fixed.” She recalls that she was no longer sad about her mother’s death, but “distracted.”

Rosie also dangles another clue about her childhood in two sentences. “There were many benefits to having a cast. In the middle of the night, it was a weapon.”

Why she would need a weapon in the middle of the night is not addressed.

Most of “Celebrity Detox,” which a source supplied to me Tuesday, is about Rosie’s life — her mother, her kids, her life before and after "The View."

I hope nobody buys her “book”. If she was/is breaking her bones where is Kelly for all of this? Seems to me that the two of them are unfit to have children. Rosie is just a loud big mouthed anti American scummer. I refuse to watch anything she is on. Best thing about her being on TV is that I can turn her off. She is totally disgusting.

Thank God Fox News is covering this! Please keep me updated. That real news about the world’s future with General Petraeus reporting on Iraq, Iran, al-Qaeda, the Sunni insurgency, The Shiite militas...

That doesn’t come close to the excitement of the WALL-TO-WALL coverage that Fox News (cough, cough... Bill O’Reilly) gives to frikin’ Rosie O’Donnell.

Can we get some more BRITNEY SPEARS while we’re at it!!!

“the biggest,” “the most left-wing,” “the craziest,”
“the most politically clueless,” etc.

Rosie is pathetic, but conservatives must put her in perspective. In politics and culture, she is a nobody with little following. As a conservative, I have little antipathy for her. Rosie is a hater, but it is obvious she hates herself as well as the whole world and she is self-destructive. I save my antipathy for the likes of Bill Maher, Keith Olberdorque, and Chwissy Mathews who unlike Rosy are taken seriously by way too many people.

Her parents or guardians would have been in a lot of trouble if she kept turning up with broken limbs...

I guess they’d better get the kids away from her ASAP.
And I thought she was a loon BEFORE reading this? Geez...

God help her!

Rather, God help the kids they let her adopt...

My wife and I usually do our shopping errands over the weekend and at checkout we're confronted by the National Enquirer-style magazines with all the alcoholics, drug abusers, broken marriages, car crashers, child custody battles, and other train wrecks and they always seem to involve the very "celebrities" who lecture us on how to vote, how to fight a war, what car to drive, complex scientific issues such as climate change, and even how many pieces of toilet paper to use.

I really wouldn't care all that much if they would just act, or sing, or paint, or whatever their talent is, but for heaven's sake if you can't make a relationship last more than a month, you're simultaneously addicted to alcohol and three illicit narcotics, and you haven't made it past tenth grade please don't lecture me on how to run my life.

First, I’d actually watch her show if I could find it, if she would pick up her old habit of breaking her limbs with a baseball bat. Hell, I’d even volunteer to take a few swings.

Second, she needs to call her book “Sympathy Whore: Finger in the Dyke”.

I’m sorry she went through all of that during her childhood but that certainly doesn’t excuse her behavior now.

Thanks for posting the article.

Wonder what x-rays of her hands would really show????

Any old breaks ???????????

Are there any teachers, hospitals, that can corroborate this info?

My guess is, no.
