Barbara Walters Slams Rosie: Get On With Your Life, Rosie Responds (VIDEO)

UPDATE: ROSIE RESPONDS
Rosie O'Donnell posted this video today after the below clip occurred on "The View"

PREVIOUSLY:
Barbara Walters made a dig at former "View" host Rosie O'Donnell on Thursday. "There are some people who have done the show and then for years feel they have to dump on it... I resent it. If the shoe fits, lady, ladies, get on with your lives! We are not perfect. We are not always happy."

Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck agreed and Elisabeth singled out "one [year] more difficult than others".

Within seconds Walters was being told in her ear by the control room to "get on with it" and the subject was dropped.

Wednesday in Los Angeles Rosie spoke about her time on show, saying how Walters feigns camaraderie on the show. Former host Star Jones has been silent in recent months.

Funny...they didn't seem to mind Rosie so much while she was raking in the ratings for what had clearly become a tired piece of television. (TPOT) Oh my God! That's what this is...a tempest in a TPOT! Also, am I the only one who seems to have noticed that Whoopi is FAR more dismissive of Elizabeth than Rosie ever was? At least Rosie was always fighting for something in which she actually believed, while Whoopi just seems to think she is the only one with an opinion worth valuing. The hypocrisy is becoming suffocating. (I'm so sad...I watch that show every freakin' day) P.S. I'm touching my hot topic while I write this...

[LollieDotCom]

rongbeach, you watch them every day? SISTAH! We are fam i ly! Sing it with me now! haha :)

That's a great acronym, is that original? It is isn't it. I just looked it up and it wasn't anywhere so I added it to http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/TPOT for you.

I am glad Whoops is more "water off a duck's back" with E but you cannot argue with ignorance without doing a little homework. Joy and Whoop could do more than dismiss E's fox fake news bs, they could dismiss them with facts. That show suffers a bit of a 'fact' deficiency without Rosie. That's what's missing.

[MASHON]

I'm a part of that family too. I'm trying to ween myself for the new year though.

Back when you could email these "panelists", I often suggested the same as you--the need for facts to shine the light on the stupid, illogical, lies and talking points that spewed from Hasselbeck's mouth.

I told them that I thought it was rather pathetic that an old woman from nowhere Virginia could easily come up with facts and logic with just a little research to counteract the stupid sh*t. I even suggested they hire someone to do it for them since they seem to be too busy to do it for themselves.

Needless to say, I might as well spit into the wind.

[Chalkeater]

It was Rosie that turned that show in a political direction, only now it is dominated by morons Elizabeth and Sherry.

[catgirl666]

Hey Barbara, I believe Rosie already has, and her show is going to kick the View's b=utt!

[VinceroVinceroVincero]

Dear BW,

You had us at hello.
But this carefully tailored image you've had for so long is beginning to come apart at the seams.

You went from a respected icon to the female version of The Wizard of Oz.
Pay no attention to the old woman behind the curtain?
Too late.

You see when you put yourself up on a pedestal and people admire/adore you from afar, if when they actually get to know you they realize you were conning them all this time... they're naturally disappointed.
Rosie clearly was.
But when you let the situation get so far out of hand with her in the name of ratings, it made enough of a scene that the truth came out.

So now, every time Rosie is in front of the media, they ask her about you and your little show.
The sad thing for you is she tells the truth.
After all, isn't that what the "image formerly known as Barbara Walters" was all about?
Honesty, Integrity, Full Disclosure.
Karma's a beach.

For the record, it was YOU who made this worse today.
The "image formerly known as Barbara Walters" would have taken the high road and ignored it.
But the real Babs did a bad Jerry Lewis impression in a moment that was "very un-barbara like"

But don't worry my dear, we'll get on with our lives, just like you asked.
And we will "pay no attention to that old woman behind the curtain"

Sincerely,
US

[emmalee]

Great letter to BW. She is so tiring !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MASHON]

If only Geddie (sp?) would let this letter get through to the wizard.

[lefteliza]

Wow, Rosie's face at the end of her video is so evil! lol, I love it.

[SonnyListon]

Maybe they feel they have to "dump on it" because the show SUCKS so bad. and the whole "oh, we might argue on air but after the show we're all friends" thing is such bullsh!#t. and EH is disgusting. and the list goes on...

[Asteroid84]

I gotta say I'm not a fan of either one of them. But I thought Rosie's expressions were priceless. Really funny.

[kaukerc]

Love ya, Rosie. People who challenge authority always end being the targets. Just keep on what you are doing, and I hope you realize that there are some of us who know that you did make a difference. I hope your new show is a big success.... and then you can tell BaBaWaWa to suck on it.

Thanks a million.

[lucia55116]

I don't care. Please stop focusing on this, and move on to something important.

[SinisterK9]

You obviously care enough to take the time to respond.

[loha]

Perhaps now that the election is over, Barbara needs to find another ratings wave. And who better to turn to, but their old ratings getter, Rosie. Classless behavior from Barbara, Bitsy and Joy. Rosie's name is never mentioned on the show until you want to say something negative about her.

[skibiketrash]

I miss Gilda Radner's Baba Wawa. God bless her soul.

[hopefulnana]

Amen.

[loha]

Whoopi & Sherri were oddly silent on this matter. They know they could be thrown under the bus just as easily as those before them. This show would have been done had it not been for Rosie.

[pipp]

It was interesting to see how Blondie

[twokidsonecat]

The view stinks since they put eliza beast in charge! It's like sarah palin and who wants to listen to her ignorance.
I thought barb would have been the bigger person and let that go! As she sits with her sheep at the table.

Rosie is hilarious!

[WiltonDiary]

Rosie is bitter! She gives gay people a bad name. She needs to get on with her
live. If you think Rosie is hilarious you are as sad and bitter as she is. Rosie is
an aging washed up old sterotypical lesbian.

[Applecheeks]

Gives Gay people a bad name...
Stereotypical lesbian...
What are you talking about?
She is a woman and a mother and a comedian and a WIFE, but all you focus on is that she is a lesbian. If you consider her a bitter PERSON, I would have a little more respect for your opion, but not much!

[Eric8869]

She spends most of her time fundraising to help children. She owns a travel company that helps gay families with kids get together for vacations together.

Yes such a bad name she gives gays. (eye roll)

[hopefulnana]

I totally agree with what eric8869 and applecheeks said. If you ever took the time to visit
Rosie's website, you would see a funny, smart, caring woman, who gives us glimpses into her family life with the four happy and intellectually curious children she and her wife are raising. The video she took of the kids skateboarding through the house tossing a football was, as Rosie says, FANTASTIC!

I think Rosie is hilarious, and I assure you I am not bitter or sad.

[twokidsonecat]

Obviously you don't know what you are talking about. Get back to me after you've familiarized yourself with Rosie and who she is.

[rhondadavis28]

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is all into her looks her opinion and her high hourse world that surrounds her

[rhondadavis28]

Elisabeth Hasselbeck needs to GO

[SinisterK9]

Yeah, because the show would be so much more entertaining if all the ladies agreed with each other on each and every topic......

[SonnyListon]

They don't all have to agree but at least they could put an intelligent conservative in EH's place.

[Eric8869]

There are republican women pundits who don't talk over everyone, start crying and make the discussions personal.

[Myshkin57]

Hasselbeeck doesn't know anything about politics or government that happened more than a few months ago. There are plenty of people more qualified to take her spot.
