Rosie O'Ddonnell Sued by The View Ex-Producer Jennifer Brookman for Slander

Rosie O'Donnell is being sued by an ex-producer of The View after Rosie allegedly had her fired out of spite.

According to Page Six, Rosie was a total bully on The View set before her 2007 and 2015 departures, and targeted ex-producer Jennifer Shepard-Brookman until Brookman became "scared of Rosie and thought she was going to be assaulted," the lawsuit filed Thursday in Manhattan Supreme Court alleges.

Brookman is seeking damages for slander, according to Radar Online after Rosie had her fired and repeatedly confronted Brookman during several interactions over a number of years (snip)

Interactions between Rosie O'Donnell and Jennifer Brookman first came to a head in 2014, according to Page Six, when Jennifer chose The View co-host, Whoopi Goldberg, to cover the beheading of journalist James Foley by members of ISIS. Rosie reportedly wanted to cover the horrific story, and went into a rage after Brookman handed the reins to Goldberg.

According to the Daily Mail, Brookman's lawsuit alleges that during the incident, Rosie grabbed “the arms of the chair in which Ms [sic] Brookman was sitting, leaning very close to her face."

O'Donnell then prohibited Jennifer “her from leaving, while continuing to aggressively and loudly berate her for giving the coverage of the story to Ms Goldberg" until Jennifer "started crying," afraid that Rosie would physically assault her, according to Brookman's attorney, Brian Kennedy.

The Daily Mail also reports that Rosie made The View a difficult workplace because "these people at The View were under the thumb of a bully. They were worried about Rosie," calling O'Donnell “The Beast” because she was so hard to work with.

I can easily picture her as a prison guard herding women around the camp selecting those who are fit or attractive among those who are to be exterminated.

I have often had that same thought... How did they find German Prison guards who were willing to kill Jews, and I can easily see liberal democrats in the USA gleefully herding conservatives into the ovens.

When conservaitves disagree with someone we want to have a discussion and try to convice them on merits. When liberals disagree they want you to die.

Remember at one point this bitter, nasty hag was called “The Queen of Nice”? What a freakin joke. Her nastiness and cruelty to her staff is legendary.

Let's be clear.

They're fighting over who gets to 'host' the story of a beheaded journalist.

Pure evil on pure evil.
