'The View': What Rosie O'Donnell Sees as Her 'Biggest Regret' on the Daytime Hit Show [Going after Trump]
CheatSheet ^ | 6/22/2020 | Lou Haviland

While Barbara Walters was on vacation in 2006, Rosie O’Donnell made comments about Donald Trump on the air that brought about a vigorous response from Trump against O’Donnell. It would result in a deep chasm of anger and resentment between O’Donnell and Walters, as The View creator wrote in her 2008 memoir, Audition.

“While I was gone,” Walters wrote, “Rosie attacked Trump on the air, calling him a ‘snake oil salesman,’ making fun of his hairstyle, and saying, among other things, that he had declared bankruptcy. I knew that was incorrect because in the past I had interviewed Trump on the subject.”

The former 20/20 host wrote in her memoir of her attempt, along with The View‘s producer, Bill Geddie, to appease the billionaire.

“Trump threatened to sue ABC,” she said, “The View, Rosie, and me. From my boat in the Caribbean, I joined Bill in a conference call to Trump. He was furious. Bill and I told him we would clear up the issue of the bankruptcy. That was all we said, and we assumed that would be the end of it. But it wasn’t.”

Walters elaborated that Trump went on to talk to everyone – every radio and TV show, to speak against Rosie O’Donnell. The show issued a statement making clear that Trump was not bankrupt and then Walters made additionally clear that she had not appreciated his remarks about O’Donnell.

Unfortunately, Walters’ defense of her co-host only went so far.

(snip) author Ramin Setoodeh detailed O’Donnell’s fury with Walters at what she felt was her betrayal and weak defense of her.(snip)

“I felt very betrayed about her going behind my back and speaking to Donald Trump in Trumpian language. I said something about her daughter, which I should not have said. But I did.”

Can you imagine any man being desperate enough...or delusional enough...to want to get within 50 yards of this pig?

Biggest regret? Not cleaning out the pastry tray.

She used to have her own talk show, It was entertaining, and lighthearted. Then she ambushed Tom Selleck on air, which was awful.

You know what's really awful. She actually played Betty Rubble in "The Flintstones" movie. Out of all the hot brunette women out there, the producers chose Rosie.

But I agree with you. Rosie was once likeable, she had a decent talk show. I don't know the story behind the beef between her and Trump though.

The bigger the loser, the harder they fall. Trump kept on winning, and Rosie, well...
