Inside Rosie O’Donnell’s Dramatic Exit From ‘The View’
Variety ^ | February 9, 2015 | Ramin Setoodeh

When Rosie O’Donnell made her triumphant return to “The View” in September, she promised a calmer version of the host who previously fled the program in 2007 after a single season.

But O’Donnell’s unhappiness at “The View” led her to announce on Friday, via a story in the New York Post’s Page Six section, that she was exiting the show after five months. ABC executives agreed to release her early from a 11-month contract, estimated to be worth $5 million.

In a brief interview with “Entertainment Tonight” over the weekend, O’Donnell attributed her departure to a desire to focus on her family after divorcing with wife Michelle Rounds, whom she married in 2012, and whose first initial she tattooed on her wedding-ring finger. But insiders say that the end of her second marriage, which she candidly talked about with “The View’s” staff, isn’t the only reason she’s leaving.

Surprisingly, she couldn't get along with anyone and she chased away too many viewers ...

I hear they had to knock out a wall and carry her out on her bed because she wouldn’t fit through the door.

Once a b**ch, pretty much always a b**ch.

Those mythical character transformations we hear about are rare, IMHO.

I heard they had to fire her because the show’s catering budget had surpassed the GDP of Spain.

That and apparently she had a fondness for having baked beans for breakfast.

Beauty is only skin deep....

But ugly is to the bone. And she is bone ugly in every way.

With Rosie being the face of homosexual marriage, no wonder it is regarded as disgusting by society. Unfortunately, one of the only groups approving this aberration are judges, who must be deviants themselves.

Rosie has mental illness. She should get help, she has the money to get good help.

I think I read that one of her sons joined the military and she was highly upset. I would love it if that was true. She is such a pyle.

The one time I accidentally stopped on the channel that was showing The View it sounded like five radio’s tuned to different talk show’s all at the same time ... loud. Made as much sense as a racoon ordering a cheese sammich ....

The news ain’t that she left. The news is that ABC was stupid enough to pay her a $5 million contract.

This is one of those things about which I simply do not understand as to why anybody would actually care about, in the least.

She is a disgusting, loudmouthed, nasty pig.

Period.

But I think Kanye West is worse.

Celebrities suck, period.

Seems the racist Rosie O'Donnell couldn't stand playing 2nd fiddle to Whoopie!

Rosie thought she was gonna be the host and get the bigger office and run things, see.

Not so. ABC concluded why ruin a perfectly good door.

A large "The View" window was removed, and a derrick did the heavy work.

These people, like Brian Williams, are paid millions to lie and propagandize for the left.

This is at least sort of true! Her son wanted to go to military school (high school I think) and ultimately, she let him. I believe the son (Parker?) is probably still high school-aged.

ABC gave her $5 million because she is a leftist. Yahoo - which is losing huge to Google - paid Katie Couric and other millions for online spots and interviews. Leftwing support systems are in place all over.
