Celebrity Feuds
Is Babwa Lying? Trump Sticks to Claim

Click to return to TMZ.comBarbara Walters said she still loves Rosie, but Donald Trump isn't buying it.

On today's episode of "The View," Walters read a statement correcting specifics in a recent rant Rosie O'Donnell waged against Donald Trump, and added that she has never regretted hiring Rosie -- though Trump maintains the opposite was said to him.

Trump called into CNN Headline News' "Showbiz Tonight" and said Barbara's feelings towards Rosie are anything but cordial, and he believes she has to put up a front for the sake of the show. "Is she going to get on and say that 'I can't stand Rosie'? She has to work with her," adds Trump, "Barbara knows what she said to me, and if I really tell you what she said, it just creates havoc." Far be it from The Donald to want any havoc!

Although he says he has nothing but love for Barbara, there's "zero chance" Trump will appear on "The View" to hug it out with Ro anytime soon.

Hear Trump's towering interview tonight at 11pm ET.

62. Trump needs to get real. Who is he to call someone ugly? If it wasn't for his money, there is no way he could have landed a hot wife like Melania. People who have been married and divorced as many times as he has usually have some personal issues they have not worked out.

63. Even though Rosie started this battle and Donald is an IDIOT. I am on Rosie's side... Yeah she has a big mouth and NO , I don't always agree with her but she's made the View more interesting.

Anyhoo, I believe Donald. You seem to forget how Barbara treated STAR and she and her were good friends. Barbara is a hyprocrite and I think she regrets hiring Rosie...but she can't and won't look stupid in the eyes of the public.

If Babs really wanted to, she could sue her friend Donald for lying about her but I bet ya she won't.

I betcha Rosie won't be on for more than 2-3 years and what happened to replacing Star and hiring a ethinic person?? WTF

64. The women on the View are fat ugly slobs except for that ass kissing blonde who serves no purpose on the show. That woman Joy with the red hair is so ugly, she makes me want to vomit. Who would have kids with that filthy slob? She's married? Who'd marry, her?

65. I lovvvvvvvvvvveeeeee Rosie The View was getting tired i watched it but it was losing my interest Rosie gave it new life Donald has nothing of substance to say so he resorts to childish insults fat , ugly......... Rosie just gave her opinion about the situation about the "Beauty Queen", and his past "morality". And all he come up with is insults about her looks. Grow up Donald your not in 5th grade anymore.

66. I would like to see Donald Trump do one thing that was not selfish and did not line his own pockets. He is just another immature idiot who thinks becaue he has alot of money that he is always right...WAKE UP DONNIE BOY...YOU ARE NOT ALL THAT..Why don't you donate some of your fortune to help those less fortunate that your stinky self

67. I don't like "The Donald' either...but in this case I believe him...Baba Wawa would say anything to save her old tired ass from getting kicked off her own show...she says it all when she states "The ratings have gone through the roof since Rosie joined us." She knows where her bread is buttered...who knows...maybe Rosie is buttering her bread for her too and eating it!

68. Donald bad mouthed Martha Stewart for her show that he produced faileds then on Oprah I can recall many years ago Ivana being on the show seemed to only speak when Donald seemed to signal her and to top It off about her salary he said she gets a $1 a day and all the beautiful dresses she wants!

WHAT A PIG!

69. Call me crazy but Trump dosen't have much room to talk when it comes to weight. I guess you can hide anything when you wear an expensive suit. I had the unfortunate opportunity to see Trump in Palm Beach, ewwwww! White shirt, white shorts that were crawling so far up his fat ass it was funny! I won't even go on about his pasty white child-like unmuscular legs or man boobs. I hope he reads this site to get a taste of his own medicine. I want a mirror like his, so i can lie to myself and make fun of others too!

70. Rosie has done nothing but annoy people with her big mouth!!! (calling Kelly homophobic) Gee, now everyone knows Clay is gay even though he tried to deny it. (thanks Rosie) You do have a big mouth and I hope you get canned from the View because I am sick of you and your BIG mouth. Trump has every right to call u the names that you are. You think you are bettter than everyone. You call yourself a parent? What are you teaching your children? That it is nice to make fun of people? Grow up!!!

72. Donald Trump annoys me. I despise people who think they are always right just because they are rich. Rosie often opens her mouth without thinking.

And to #58, you are a lesbian. What, you're not?? Of course you are because I just said you are. Rosie insinuating another person is gay (or accusing K. Ripa of thinking someone is gay) doesn't make it true. Since when did Rosie O'Donnel become the all knowing??

73. Rosie needs to keep her big mouth SHUT.

74. Donald the donkey ass....absolutely no class

75. Number 5 - you might think The Donald is an idiot but I wonder how many millions you smart ass have? He has made his money by being tough and not taking any sh't from anyone. I use to like Rosie before she remined everyone that she was gay, like no one knew this!!! I don't like her shoving her views of sexuality down peoples throat. I have many gay friends and they are not like her always saying things to defend why they are the way they are.

Deal with it Rosie and let others enjoy the View the way it use to be. You don't have to attack people in order to be heard or liked.
