46. Please, people......understand this for what it is..........stop being bitchy, rude, ignorant and name calling.......................
Rosie spoke HER truth and Elisabeth spoke her truth and suddenly, in America, this is not acceptable? My God, people, wake up!!!!!!!!!
Elisabeth should be fired as well.............she is just as culpable.

49. Donald Trump was so right when he said that she was as ugly inside as she is outside. She a blob filled with all the hate and bitterness of mankind. They better lock up her guns....

50. Yeah!!! I used to watch the Rosie O'Donnell show, but when she came to The View, they soon lost me as a viewer!!! Rosie is a very over-opinionated person, and now I am glad to say that I will be back to watching The View on Tuesday!!!

52. I loved Rosie on The View, and I'm very sad to see her go. She never backed down from what she believed, and I admire her for that. She said what I was thinking, and now I will have no voice. Stay strong, Rose, you're tops!!

53. She is a hypocrite-calling Elisabeth a coward, then quitting after she got in her face. Whatever!

54. I guess we have a new definition of "coward": Someone who bullies and calls names for MONTHS, then turns tail and runs the second the victim grows a backbone and fights back. Thank you, Elizabeth. You have done the country a great service!

55. Yes, Now maybe Elisabeth can have a little peace. Elisabeth hasnt done anythin wrong to warrant a firing, However, Rosie has, over and over again.

57. In other words--the bitch can dish it out fast and furious but she sure as hell can't take it. This is called a coward and a bully. See ya, Rosie, and don't let the door smack in your tremendous ass.

58. Rosie will be missed.

59. Doubt it. I bet ABC fired her just like they did BIll Mahar. They are both too good for ABC anyway.

Elizibeth- it is impossible for me to understand how you could respect someone like BIll O ( who cheats on his wife, makes up stories, name calls constantly etc) and not have the UTMOST respect for someone like Rosie who donates a massive amount of time and energy to charities, adopts children, advocates childrens rights, spends time and money helping injured vets etc. What have you done Elizabeth?

Wow. You seriously did her wrong. Seriously disrespectful.
