Rosie Won’t Be Back on The View
Friday, May 25th, 2007After her spat with Elizabeth Hasselbeck earlier in the week, Rosie O’Donnell will not be returning to The View again this season. ABC just released the following statement: “We had hoped that Rosie would be with us until the end of her contract three weeks from now, but Rosie has informed us that she would like an early leave. Therefore, we part ways, thank her for her tremendous contribution to ‘The View’ and wish her well.”
O’Donnell and Hasselbeck feuded on Wednesday when Joy Behar started a debate on the war in Iraq that quickly became personal. Rosie had planned to take Thursday off for her partner Kelly’s birthday, but when she wasn’t back on Friday, fans got curious.
Rosie has seemed upset since the fight, stating on her website Thursday night that “i am sad … so sad” and that all the feuding “IS under my skin …
i cant scrub it off.”
She left these thoughts on Thursday night:
“when painting
there is a point
u must step away from the canvas
as the work
is done
anymore would take away”
Oh, Rosie. The View is going to be so boring without you.
