Why Rosie Left "The View"


She may have made some crude jokes in front of a bunch of 17-year-olds at a media luncheon on Monday making Rupert Murdoch cringe and Barbara Walters cover her face, but it wasn't her naughty tongue that got Rosie to part her ways with ABC's "The View."


According to FOX News the comedian is leaving the daytime talker come June because she proposed co-hosting the show for one more year only at a hefty $10 million price tag, whereas ABC insisted on a 3-year $30 million deal, which O'Donnell found too long.

Rumor has it, however, Rosie has not come to terms with Barbara Walters' reluctance to stand up for her during the Donald Trump fiasco in December before the billionaire with a combover attacked Walters herself and that made her decision to bid farewell to "The View" ladies much easier.

The show went up about 15% in the ratings during Rosie O'Donnell's stint.

Rosie did cause alot of controversy on the View, but I thought that was her reason to being on the show. What got me the most is how she would pick fights with people and then run and hide while playing the victim when they responded back. Donald Trump was hella bogus for his comments but Rosie attacked his character first. And what was even more funny was how she said Donald Trump is not fit to judge anyone's morality. But then she judged him and then went on to curse and say inappropiate things at a function with young adults. C'mon, now who throwing rocks in a glass house?

But I will miss the Rosie O'Donnell and them others people....... oh wait it's called "The View"!
