Rosie O'Donnell Vows to Never Return to "The View" and Criticizes Former Colleagues.

Rosie O'Donnell says she would never do The View again after clashing with conservative co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck and later with Whoopi Goldberg over not wanting to cover the Bill Cosby sexual assault allegations. O'Donnell learned that being on the show was "not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness." She remained friendly with Barbara Walters until the time of her death, forgiving her "because she was older and she did the best that she could with what she had to work with."

Rosie O'Donnell criticized her former colleagues on "The View" during an appearance on Brooke Shields' podcast, saying that the show was not the best use of her talent and that she would never do it again. O'Donnell alleged that co-host Whoopi Goldberg did not want to talk about the rape allegations against Bill Cosby at the time and that Elisabeth Hasselbeck threw her under the bus during an infamous clash between the two in 2007. She also said that Goldberg was "mean" to her on the show.

Rosie O'Donnell Vows to Never Return to The View Again

Comedian Rosie O'Donnell said she would never return to host The View as it was not the 'best use of my talent to have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness.' O'Donnell blamed co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck and then-producer Bill Geddie for her abrupt departure in 2007 and said Geddie was an 'old, cis, white man, Republican who was against everything that I believed in and stood for.' Despite the controversies she faced on the show, O'Donnell said she 'forgave' longtime show runner Barbara Walters - who had asked the actress to join.
