Rosie Reveals Falling Out With Ellen: ‘I Don’t Trust This Person’
Rosie O’Donnell has made a career out of shamelessly speaking her mind, and in a new interview, the comedian candidly breaks down the incident that triggered a falling out between her and Ellen DeGeneres.
When the two were first coming up together on the comedy scene, they had “a good relationship,” O’Donnell told The Hollywood Reporter. “We were friends. We supported each other.”
O’Donnell recalled DeGeneres’ memorable appearance on her talk show in 1996, where the two cracked jokes about how they might be “Lebanese” because they’re both fans of Casey Kasem. She also fondly remembered going to Hollywood parties with DeGeneres, Melissa Etheridge, and k.d. lang.
