she kept “misgendering” her daughter throughout the entire story 😂😂😂😂

[fcukjobdn]

She's completely not even living on this planet anymore.

[kswish]

Her daughter didn’t come up with this on her own. Obviously, she learned it somewhere. Even Rosie said her daughter is confused, yet she encourages confusion in her own child. Sick and abuse!

[NOturtle]

Some people shouldn’t be allowed to have kids period.

[debhil]

Still love her!! How many people who criticize her have fostered or adopted children???

[jamessullivan]

I think it's a great interview and love Rosie O'Donnell. People don't have to be so negative. It's so mean and unnecessary.

[blueeyes]

This woman saying “I don’t know where she came up with saying her I’m non binary”🙄 while raising her in a gay lifestyle home is ridiculous! No..the kid has never heard, seen, or was taught anything…sure

[henrikechers]

Great interview. Love Rosie. Don`t agree with all she says. But that is okay

[marydohrenwend]

This is the best interview of Rosie ive ever listened to! Excellent job! Amazing prep! Great job!

[GOPETSCOOTER]

She is in need of mental health support

[NickAllen-lf]

What happened to boy George he looks horrible with that grey short hair and glasses

[motocrossriders]

Where are child protective services???

[RonKris]

"They said to me, Mommy, gender is infinite" "Where do they get those words?" Huh, from the school curriculum. It is what we've been fighting about, keeping those crazy, alphabet-people ideologies out of the school curriculum.

Rosie how COOL are YOU ‼️💯🤗 Excellent interview 🌟

[GingerCC-hebe]

Love and miss you Rosie! All you've ever "said" has been proven true and valid, from gun control arguments with Tom Selleck to political statements on the View. ❤

[miketexas]

I still don't understand what "non-binary" is

[josephs.]

Isn’t that the same daughter that ran away and called you an abuser lmao?

[cynthiajones]

NBC watchers be ready. Do not be deceived, God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature he will reap distruction. The one who sows to please the spirit, from the spirit he will reap eternal life. Galatians 6:7, 8 Jesus died 4 you believe and repent.

[susangibson]

I so miss Rosie, Thankyou for sharing 😂😢Love you Rosie very proud of who you’ve become.

[cynthia]

Oh, THANK YOU THANK YOU for this interview. ❤️ from my family
