In a video post to her r blog, Rosie O’Donnell confirmed rumors that her friend and “View” producer Janette Barber did indeed draw a mustache onto a photo of Elisabeth Hasselbeck following last Wednesday’s on-air feud—or as O’Donnell called it, “Nuclear Wednesday.”
Janette is in the naughty corner, she explained. “It was only one photo, people, and it was a magazine cut-out.” The producer was turned in by another staffer and was soon after escorted out of the building. “Poor Janette was crying,” O’Donnell said, adding that it was a “cute little joke on the way out. … It was really a spur of the moment, on the way out – she couldn’t resist.”
O’Donnell also spoke openly for the first time about her tumultuous last week on the show, especially her bitterness about the producers going to split-screen, refusing to go to commercial, and her co-star’s refusal to defend her. “It was shocking to me. When you’re in a Broadway show, that spirit of community and teamwork—if somebody makes a mistake, you cover their line. Everybody works in unison for one common show. But not on that show. It was odd.”
Rosie also posted another of her trademark free-verse poems, describing the beautiful spring scenery near her South Nyack home … and her desire to move on:
the air by west point
past the bear mountain bridge
smells like seattle
green and glorious …the ?s will b back soon
but no more view ones
as we all try to move on
okpeace out

Rosie’s behavioral rants are very typical of someone who has Severe Behavior Disorders. It’s so sad. If any of EH’s associates or ANYone from the show would have defamed any photos or property of Rosie’s, she would have gone off her face. Politics aside…this is one woman with terrible pent up anger issues that is being allowed to “boil over” on live television. Rosie is mad at the entire world b/c of the misfortunes in her life. She will choose anything and anyone to vent those issues on. THe EP’s from the show as well as Barbara Walters are losing their professional touch in not realizing there was a reason why she lost her show and her magazine.
To anyone paying attention, it seems rather obvious that something subtle and nasty goes on behind the scenes at The View.
Look back on Debbie and Star and now Rosie and you may see a pattern of someone being set-up to look bad all in the name of ratings.
Consider that potentiality before [or while] you ascribe blame for personality disorders… especially when you consider this was a show designed for “women of different … backgrounds and views,” [Remember that line from the old opening?] which by the way includes someone like Ms. O’Donnell.
Has Barbara gone senile hiring someone she should have known “can’t play well with others”. Rosie is like more like a panther than a lion. Lions are social cats. Panthers are solitary.
Right or wrong (in her argument) Rosie appears to take the brunt of all the criticism in this conflict. And her vehment attacks and acerbic remarks have made her a target of attacks of a similar stripe.

None of you know what you’re talking about. Tj does not have the credentials I am sure to diagnose anyone. Why don’t you all take the time to read Rosie’s blog – not just for the last couple of days but for the last couple of months or longer and then you’ll see the real Rosie. She is loyal to her friends and she is extremely loyal to her fans / bloggers. Why should she not expect that in return? Eliz Hass was just riding Rosie’s coat-tails for her own celebrity status. She was nobody before Rosie entered The View. Most of us don’t even remember her from Survivor because she is so unmemorable. And now that Rosie is gone she will disappear once again into the unknown abyss. THANK GOD!
Rosie put herself out there on the view. She was funny, political and just super down to earth. Can we fault her for being real and honest? She is the only woman on tv who has any guts to grab her crotch, speak her mind and also share her disgust about bush and trump. Why dont u women give her 2 thumbs up? Rosie is an advocate! I dont understand y women cannot support each other. Dont u c that men like women catfighting with each other and make comments to put them down? In fact most of the men band together to speak against Rosie and nothing bad about trump. I guess trump is watching them eh. Just look at Barbara and EHassleback, both are superficial. Rosie resurrected the view’s rating, not trump, it is Ro, herself. She deserves all the credit here. To hell with trump, dont need anything from him. So women, it is time for u to band together and support strong women like Rosie, Hillary and others who will soon be coming out. Wow, that would be an interesting change, wouldn’t it. Good luck
