Rosie Bids Adieu to "The View"

There is a strong buzz in Hollywood that Rosie O'Donnell will announce Wednesday (April 25) that she is leaving "The View" -- and she'll make the announcement on the show.

If it happens, it's likely Rosie will stick it out through the end of the season.

TMZ has spoken with multiple industry people who say the word is spreading and the info emanated from inside the show itself.

Rosie's rep could not be reached for comment.

UPDATE: TMZ HAS CONFIRMED THAT ROSIE WILL ANNOUNCE ON TODAY'S SHOW THAT SHE WILL BE LEAVING "THE VIEW." LOG ON TO TMZ AT 11:15 AM EASTERN TIME, AND WE'LL HAVE A CLIP OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT.

31. Rosie needs to go to satellite radio wither friend Stern and take Imus too.

I know what probably did it, it was those comments about 911 and that we all believe but

do not dare say so.

32. who says that prayers aren't answered. for some reason she has gotten really bitter about everything. giving her own views on different subjects would be fine, but she started bad mouthing everyone and everything. hopefully barbara had something to do with this. now maybe the view will have some credibility again

33. I surely hope she does leave! The show used to be interesting and now it's just crap. She took The View down the drain. Maybe Barbara Walters should replace herself too. I no longer watch the trash. If I want trash I'll buy the Globe or something!

36. Wow.. lots of hate in the comments here.

Whether Rosie stays or leaves, I wish all good things to her and her beautiful family and loved ones. She is a wonderful American woman who is doing the job our news people and politicians refuse to do. If you want to know her, read her blog and view her art and videos at www.rosie.com. Few people expose their inner lives the way she does and I love her for all she shows us as she continues to learn and journey through this life.

39. Rosie was using the View for her own personal venting. The View needs
to bring some class back.
Rosie needs her own show to rant. We don't want to hear her Views.

40. Say it ain't so.... Rosie represents free speech and has allowed many "Views" and voices to be heard. Without her it won't be the "View." It will be "tea time for the ladies." How BORING. Zzzzzzzzz

41. Thank God! I refuse to watch anything that has this insipid, screaming, insane witch on it. Maybe now there will be real conversation and not the Rude Rosie show.

44. Rosie shouldnt leave the view. Shes the only reason why so many people watch. IM sick of everyone crying like babies because she doesnt like the president or she hates donald trump. Look around, most of the american public hates bush. I think everyone misses what the show is called, its called "the View". You might not agree with what she says but she has a right so say it.
