Rosie's Staffers Were Terrorized
The Daily Beast has a loonnnggggg article about why Rosie O'Donnell's show on Oprah Winfrey's network of spiritual guidance failed. Reasons include Rosie not being a good fit for the channel, a bad time slot, no one was sure what the show's format should be, celebrities wouldn't come to Chicago to get their publicity cocks sucked, etc.
The frowny revelation is that Rosie still has a big ole' temper when shit doesn't go well and will publicly lash the fuck out at you in front of the rest of the staff. She will make you cry and confound you because you had heard that lesbians were really nice what with the dogs and the Home Depot love and everything.
Rosie filmed in Oprah's old studio, and many of The Rosie Show staff were made up of O's old crew. Those special people have been touched by an angel and ascended to a higher level than the rest of us. But that don't mean dick to Ro.
From the Beast:
Several staffers were very upset when O’Donnell clashed with Winfrey’s longtime director Joe Terry. People thought she humiliated him when she scolded him in front of a live audience for using the wrong camera shots, suggesting he didn’t know what he was doing. She fired Winfrey’s stage manager because she felt like he was ignoring her and not doing his job properly. But some of her biggest fights were with “the games department.” She couldn’t decide what she wanted—The Price Is Right, physical games, or trivia—and was constantly belittling the people who worked on them.
Rosie also reportedly treated her band leader lady like shit because she couldn't immediately play obscure Broadway numbers like the band was Tom Cruise's iPod. Ugh. She also didn't personally tell her staff that the jig was up because she'd already driven her hog (you decide what kind I'm referring to) back to New York City and was trying to get the role of Miss Hannigan in a revival of Annie.
I met Rosie once. She was big and butch (bike shorts/Tevas/lots of tattoos) and I was nervous she would put me in a headlock. She read as a nice lady, but I wasn't on her payroll. Remember when she accused one of the staffers at her magazine of lying and told her that "liars get cancer"? This is not a bitch you want your cubicle near.
And that's it for me. Thank you to the exquisitely slutty Michael K for letting me help out again! Tramp ass.

O'Donnell is a cunt, but I suppose she'd take that as a compliment..

Ooo!!! I love Dlisted celeb encounter stories!!! Tell us more!!
The rage just radiates off of Rosie like stink lines off a cartoon character. She's going to have a cardiac incident if she keeps up like that.

Boy, she used to have me fooled with her zany antics and throwing kush balls at audience members. Evil troll.

Waaay back when, I was doing PR and booked some clients on that show. They weren't famous. They were breast cancer survivors who'd climbed Mt. McKinley and they were treated shabbily. The only good thing to come out of it was a Harry Potter hardcover box set that everyone got since JK Rowling was a guest the same day.
Edited: typo
Is that dirt on her feet, or tattoos?
Thanks J.!
Rosie is a cunt. this is NOT new news.
------------------------------------------------
I have never loved life so much.
Well I worked with Rosie. And one week we all had to go with her to Lake Tahoe. People it was a fucking nightmare. She had a crush on the producer who was straight and acted like a fucking lunatic whenever the producer wasn't there to kiss her ass. She belittled the poor associate producer for no other reason than to be a twat, and was constantly screaming at her and saying super nasty things like "Where do you shop for your clothes in a garbage heap?" It all turned out that she was jealous because the woman was extremely funny, and was always cracking up the crew, she was also best friends with the above producer. When the two women, producer and ap saw Rosie off at the end of the week, they immediately went to the bar and tanked up for the night. Rosie is a menace and a fucking nightmare. And a pig.
Good job, J. Harvey. Don't pay attention to those tired ass fuckas trollin' around in here hurling insults.
They're just jealous haters!

The best part is that we almost *have to* shop at Nordstrom for cute tires. They carry up to 15 Wide for women. And that is also where all the local drag queens shop for shoes. Bonus!

Rosie is a stinky beast.
BaconSlut - Wide width support, sister!
Migraine - maybe not as scary as RoRo's ;-)
WithinReason - I plan to, cause it's getting hot here already, lol!
Later, J Harvey!
Rosie is a lunatic and she does not play well with others. I feel sorry for any chick that gets involved with her with the exception of her new gold digger wifey. Did she really send all of her kids off to live with their mom so she could chase tail?

yeah, I could totally see how O could be demanding, but even at her worst, you could probably still keep the convo civil by being logical and respectful and sticking to your guns ... That ODonnell pig would just get hysterical and mean and there would be no way in hell of reasoning with her blubberness even if you were right and she was so corpulently wrong. Bitch needs some heavy duty psyciatric help

WithinReason, my feet are the bane of my existence! My feet are wide, and when the summer comes and women with cute feet get to wear the cutest strappy sandals, I can't! And the cute sandals don't usually come in wide width. :-(

Rosie is a ferocious bitch. I know a couple of gays that met her and she was awful to them.
Thank you J. Harvey for filling in!!! I am MK's hag forever, but I am also a promiscuous slut (redundant?) so could I be your hag too, pretty please? 'Cause I heart u longtime, truly I do.
I've also heard that she is a horror to work for and I would say living with this woman must be a nightmare.
For all her "I live for my kids" talk, I think those kids will have stories to tell some day.

Her Flintstones feet look nasty!

LOL - I totally have Flintstones feet, but I hide those suckers as much as I can. But the summers get hot here so I let them out sometimes, but not without a good scrubbing and pedicure.
Boy, she used to have me fooled with her zany antics and throwing kush balls at audience members. Evil troll.
Several people I know have met Ellen and she's a genuinely nice, cool lady. Rosie, get a clue.
Thank you J. for the great posts in MK's absence. On the subject of Ro, what's more to be said? Hers is a head case that would burn out the entire American College of Psychiatrists.
Her Flintstones feet look nasty!
Until Rosie has her Shannen Doherty or Roseann Barr moment (that awkward point where a celebrity experiences a rare moment of clarity, finally understanding that their reputations are well earned and if they don't change their ways, their careers are completely finished because no one will hire them or work with them), she's blacklisted her own self.
When will she learn to keep that fuckin' trap shut?!
Bitch is constantly on "career" suicide watch.
People who worked in production on many years ago onher first show that filmed in L.A. said the same thing. She was abusive,ranted and raged at people for litte or no reason, making working on the show a nightmareof an experience.
I had this horrible dream that I was eating out Rosie O'Donnell, but then I realized it was just a Dorito taco.
Thanks, J Harvey. Congrats on the wedding!

YES and yes. The advice I'd give about bullies (stand up to them no matter what) probably doesn't apply when they're your boss, because they can just fire you. Although I suppose if you do it the right way you can earn their respect.
Thanks J. Harvey! You brought the awesomeness once again!

Thanks J Harvey! *MWAH*
and tramp ass is better than swamp ass any day.
I wouldn't work for either of them. Although when Oprah finally OWNS the entire universe, I guess I will have to, or die.
Thanks for the laughs, J Harvey. Au revoir, and if you're not back before your wedding, mazel tov (or whatever is supposed to be said for weddings).
Rosie sounds like a piece of work, gets under the skin. Brrrrr...
LMAO at this whole post J. Harvey!! Thanks for filling in and helping out! Hope to see you back again some time!! ;D

There are different ways of leading your staff. I'm sure Oprah is a demanding boss. But demanding doesn't equate with demeaning.

Thanks for the laughs J!! You kicked ass as always. Don't be a stranger now, y'hear? xoxo
OT I find it hard to believe that people who had worked for Oprah would be intimidated by Rosie, but the temper part is not much of a stretch.
Whoa, I would have guessed that Oprah was more domineering than Rosie. Rosie just seems a bit miserable in general.
J Harvey....Cheers!! Thanks for your posting - you're good!!
Don't be a stranger J-well, not any stranger than you are now.
*chanting as always*
Shut the fuck up kid, you're in my closet now.
I love hearing Donald trump talk shit about her.
Capi-
If she took money from a childrens' hospital she should be stoned to death and not in the good way.

I got near the beast once, too. She was hired to emcee a charity event. Got paid 100K by a children's hospital then trashed the big donors in the audience. She was physically intimidating - the evilness just oozed out of her.
Thanks for sharing Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeege. We LURVE you!
