You Still Glad You Hired Rosie O’Donnell, Babs?

Somewhat deservedly, Rosie gave Barbara Walters a big piece of her mind in The View hair and makeup room yesterday for neither having her back during the whole Trump (is stark, raving mad) debacle nor attempting to squash the gossip mill before it got out of hand.

The fight started around 8:30 a.m. when Walters, back from a two-week vacation, walked into the hair and makeup room at ABC studios and tried to hug O’Donnell, whom she hired onto the popular show.

According to spies, O’Donnell recoiled from Walters’ touch and yelled, “You kept me in the newspapers this whole time!”

Both “View” producer Bill Geddie and Walters tried to calm O’Donnell. Walters told her, “I did everything I could to squash the story” - prompting Rosie to scream, “You didn’t call me for 10 goddamn days, and you didn’t tell me what you were going to say on television!”

I guess Barbara Walters, like Trump the Chump, knows that any publicity is good publicity. [Source]
