What Happened Between Rosie O’Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres? | WWHL

Rosie O’Donnell says she was never a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show during its 20 year run and reveals that she was only asked to come on towards the end. She also says her feelings were hurt when Larry King told Ellen that Rosie’s show went down the tubes after coming out and Ellen said “I don’t know Rosie; we’re not friends.”

love her or hate her, Rosie is never gonna bullshit you with some fake canned response, ellen could never

[ashleynicole]

I always love how brutally honest Rosie is.

[dmballadon]

Ellen has hid behind the “be kind” motto while being the opposite

[popalexgon]

I feel like Rosie's always been honest so I love that about her

[sabrosavayaina]

EDG is and always has been horrible. Rosie has always been attacked over her brutal honesty but it’s actually one of her most endearing qualities. I get it, shes not for everyone but she is a much bigger person than the other one.

rosie is everything ellen pretends to be. rosie is incredibly generous, and always sticks up for any underdog, and doesnt care how things she might say or support look, she just says or does things she believes are right. just look up how she spoke about iraq and trump in the early stages.

Time for a Rosie O'Donnell comeback!

[zakkxx]

Rosie had the biggest stars (past and future) on her show! She was a trailblazer and I adore her. So much respect for her!

[hutch]

All Ellen ever cares about is if everyone likes her. All Rosie cares about is being an honest human being, even if it means not everyone likes her. That's all you need to know about the difference between these two women.

I've been watching old Rosie clips from her 90s show and that show was a great time!

[krystal]

Larry King was really clueless sometimes about hugely successful shows. He said to Jerry Seinfeld his show was possibly cancelled and he said Rosie's show went down the tubes. She chose to end her show and walked away from a gigantic amount of money. They were begging her to do more.

[coreyo.conner]

Rosie O'Donnell always seemed more personable and honest than Ellen to me.

[toddiwasaki]

Rosie is due for a come back. She is so real and entertaining

[snavgm]

So disappointing of Ellen. I wondered why Rosie was never on Ellen ..😞

[lushX]

Always have loved her honesty and transparency. Also, Rosie’s performance on The L Word: Generation Q was absolutely incredible. Great comedian and amazing actor.

[tommarshall]

Rosie had the best cameos in Curb your enthusiasm

[EM-fdxe]

Ellen doesn't have half of Rosie's talent. I think she's jealous of her.

[katharine]

Honesty and kindness. Ellen wishes she was as big hearted as Rosie.

[Poetic_Justice]

When you're watching the many uploads of her old show on her own YT channel, like I have, it becomes clear pretty fast that she was in fact the best talk show host of them all.

[SB-hjue]

You would have outshone her and she knew it Rosie. Take the snub as a compliment.
