We all know Rosie O’Donnell has issues with keeping her mouth shut, which usually results in a lot of enemies and a whole lotta drama. Rosie blasted ‘American Idol’ on Tuesday’s episode of “The View” claiming that Idol is racist and weightiest because of the way they handled the Antonella Barba situation.
Nigel Lythgoe, the executive producer of "American Idol" and a new enemy to Rosie O’Donnell, has just released a statement in response to Rosie’s comments.
"Without wishing to add to the obvious self-promotion of Ms. O'Donnell, I feel as though I must refute her absurd and ridiculous claims that 'American Idol' is racist and/or weightist.”
"Ms. O'Donnell has, once again, spoken without thought or knowledge. Viewers need only look at the show tonight to realize that 'American Idol' constantly confirms to America that talent has nothing to do with weight or color."
Because of Rosie’s big mouth, "Idol" has banned "The View" from using clips from the show.
