Trump to Rosie: Babwa Called You a "Pig"

Posted Jan 9th 2007 1:41PM by TMZ Staff

trump's letter to rosieDonald Trump says that Barbara Walters called Rosie O'Donnell a "pig" in a phone conversation and that "she won't be [at "The View"] for long."

Trump sent a letter to Rosie O'Donnell this morning alleging that he and Babwa had a conversation about the Trump-Rosie hostilities while Babwa was on vacation. Trump says that, according to Walters, "working with [Rosie] is like living in hell" and, "Don't worry, she won't be here for long." What's more, Trump says that Walters advised him, "Donald, never get into the mud with pigs."

Donald also tells Rosie that she has "good reason to be angry" at Walters, anger that spilled over in a confrontation yesterday on "The View," prompting two items in New York tabloids this morning. A "View" rep tells TMZ, "Barbara refuses to get dragged into this."

The Donald was kind enough to convey his "warmest regards" to Rosie's partner Kelly, to whom he referred to as Rosie's "wife."

Rosie Vs. Trump!!!

2. Its so funny because everyone involved I really don't care anything about. I've never liked Barbara Walters I think she's too old to be on a show like that anyways. Donald Trump seems like a spoiled child that probably has never had anyone tell him down in his life and Rosie I like her better than the others but sometimes she says what's on her mind before really thinking about it like calliing Kelly a homophobe or that Oprah and Gayle are gay. But she's just putting her opinion out there as wrong as it probably is. I guess you can't fault her for that.

3. I've learned something from all this. Rich people are just as petty as the rest. I bet Barbara is peeing in her pants with this letter. The Donald was completely over the top with his responses towards Rosie, however, I do believe he's telling the truth about Barbara. Oh well, this is more entertainment than most TV shows currently on.

4. Rich people are more petty than anyone. The majority of people that have wealth stole it from someone else. All three of them are disgusting, physically and otherwise, and someone should throw them all in a lunatic asylum and toss the key. An old Jewish woman past her prime, a disgusting real estate trader who is a sexist pig, and Rosie-who has been given the second chance and belongs as a longshoreman on a doc somewhere shouting orders to the other Section 8 people like her.

5. I love this! I am not a Donald Trump fan, however, I do believe him!! I believe that Barbara is lying and that Rosie was completely wrong to start any of this b.s. Rosie is behaving like an insane, big-mouthed loser. She started this, but I am sure Donald will finish it. I used to love Rosie-- but now I think she deserves whatever Donald gives her. If she treated her position on the view with more respect she would have never ended up in this situtation. And she still hasn't learned her lesson-- Shut up and let things cool down-- Dumbass!!

6. What is with Rosie,can't she be greatful for anything and why does she always feel she has to speak up about everything. She went from what would be considered a blue comic to Americas darling. She then attacked those who were making a living doing what she did in the beginning of her career. She fell off the radar and now she is back and more evil than the people she hates. I don't fault her for having and expressing an opinion but she has to be so damn venemous. The sad thing is after a long hard earned career that broke down the barriers for women in all industries Barbara Walters is the ringmaster of what has become a knuckleheaded circus. This is a woman who has interviewed royalty,president and the likes and now she owns a show that is without any real merit. Donald Trump is a showman and he knows how to work what some see as his arrogance to his advantage. Like him or hate him he knows what he is doing and both these gals would be better served to quit while they are still ahead. He will ruin them both and do it in a way that is fair. Rosie misses mommy and needs to go away. She has had much success and should be greatful for it. She has also had her share of failings and a lot of it is due to her mean nature getting the better of her.

10. He doesn't care who he throws under the bus. He is just stiring the pot. And I agree Barbara, has got to be crapping her pants at this. Since the Star Jones situation, I realized Barbara Walters is a petty liar.

13. Donald Trump is not lying about Barbara Walters, he knows she would be able to sue him if he indeed is lying. Then again maybe he doesn't care whether he's sued or not. Rosie started this bull, and I don't care whether or not The Don calls her names from here to eternity... Just my opinion. I have come to stronlgy dislike Rosie O, and her pushing her values down everyone's throats. If someone doesn't agree with her program she bad mouths them, she has a right to her opinion and a right to express them but when she takes personal attacks on someone, then she should expect that they have the option to personally attack her. I do agree that this is a bit petty and childish, and that The Don is possibly using this for publicity, but like another poster stated, this is DONALD TRUMP, he is being who he is... Rosie brought all of this on herself, and to basically bite the hand that's feeding her (Barbara Walters) is a huge mistake.

14. Donald is a blowhard and Rosie is a bigmouth. We expect this behavior from Rosie based on past performances, but I really thought Donald would just say he's above all this nonsense. After listening to both of them I think Rosie picked on the wrong person. Donald is not going to let her get away with "running her mouth." Barbara Walters has allowed Rosie to drag her down and I really think Barbara's credibility is going to suffer as a result. Babs needs to find two new friends!

15. DONALD TRUMP has more class than these two women put together. Barbara should rertire since she is taking up space and people get tired of looking at her ugly face...Rosie is a big FAT ASSED PIG she does not deserve any recognition from this society...she should SHUT her cake hole. BULL DYKE... I feel sorry for the kids...being raised by a BIG MOUTH NO COUNT LESBIAN.......
