Looks like Donald Trump is causing tensions between The View creator Barbara Walters and co-host Rosie O'Donnell. According to the New York Daily News, sources reveal that Rosie attacked Barbara and called her a "a F#$%$ liar." Yesterday was the first day Rosie was back from her vacation and the fight began at 8:30am when Walters walked into the hair and makeup room at ABC studios and tried to hug O'Donnell.
According to the snitches on set, O'Donnell pushed back the boss 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" which only pushed a couple more buttons for Rosie and she began screaming, "You didn't call me for 10 goddamn days, and you didn't tell me what you were going to say on television!"
Sources reveal O'Donnell is fuming over reports that Barbara told Trump she regretted hiring O'Donnell. During O'Donnell's vacation, Walters issued a carefully worded statement saying, "I'm sorry there is friction between Donald and Rosie. That said, I do not regret for one moment my choice to hire Rosie O'Donnell as the moderator of 'The View.' "
After O'Donnell's outburst at Walters yesterday, Geddie jumped in and told her, "You've crossed the line."which O'Donnell fired back, "Cameras are now outside of my house where my wife and kids are." She turned to Walters and said, "You went all around this and never called [Trump] a liar. You never said, 'Donald is lying.' You never called him a liar."
When Walters tried to defend herself, O'Donnell erupted, "Are you looking me in the face and denying you didn't tell him you didn't say this? You're a [bleeping] liar."
Representative of both Walters and O'Donnell said, "Whatever happened in the hair and makeup room was hardly a squabble. It's business as usual, everyone has moved on." Looks like Rosie O'Donnell isn’t going to let this one rest easy, then again would you blame her?
