I can’t listen to her talk. Would be cool if she she would do the interview as her character in Riding The Bus With My Sister.

OP = Rosie

Rosie O'Donnell is not now, has never been, and never will be normal.

I will say she’s aged well and looks great.

She sounds just as looney as she always has.

There is no way in heaven I am going to listen to this.

Would someone please summarize what she says?

She says she thinks she should be given an honorary Oscar for her groundbreaking role in Riding The Bus With My Sister. Ching Chong.

R7 Thank you. I can't either. The sound of that woman's voice gives my entire body a negative reaction.

Does she play up that NY accent or is that really how she “tawks”?

by Anonymousreply 10April 19, 2021 3:14 AM

Fantastic interview so far. Thanks for sharing it, op. I’ve always liked Rosie, both at her most popular and unpopular. She’s always seemed authentic to me, if during her “Queen of Nice” shtick.

She hasn't updated the "Ask Ro" portion of her website since December. She may be done with her fans for now.

Listening to that I'm surprised at how little involvement she has with her kids. (yet she claims to be a mother first.)

Parker went to military school as a teenager, Chelsea was in a rehab type place for most of her teenage years. Now she has moved to NYC with the youngest and says she goes on the weekend to see the other two who must live with her ex-Kelly.

I remember on her blog people asking about how the two younger kids felt about her moving to NYC and she said they were unhappy about it. Staying with her would have meant moving during high school or junior high.

by Anonymousreply 15April 19, 2021 3:48 AM

I noticed that too r14.

It is like Trump is gone so she has nothing to complain about. Maybe she is still unhappy and now doesn't have him to blame so that has thrown her for a loop.

I worked for a woman manager just like Rosie.

Sociopathic, expects everything to be handed to her on a silver platter, and holds a fierce grudge if you do her the littlest wrong. In my case the woman was running days or even a week late with payroll every week because she was in a tailspin of depression over her girlfriend breaking up with her. I gathered all the staff to confront her and ask her to get paid on time. She never forgave me for that.

She’s a strong woman but strong in all the wrong ways and has a demented smile I find oversized and unnerving. It’s either bad dentistry or a sadness she doesn’t hide well.

She appears to be slowly turning into a witch before our eyes. Look at her.

by Anonymousreply 20April 19, 2021 11:44 AM

I think Rosie can be bizarre like about 9/11. She is very intelligent though. It is incredible that her ex committed suicide over lack of access to their kid and Rosie’s reputation didn’t take a hit.

Talking about loons, what ever happened to Roseanne Barr?

Has she been committed? She was really off the rails supporting Trump's Presidency.

by Anonymousreply 29April 19, 2021 7:52 PM

Nah, Parker wanted to go to military school and it sounds like her daughter needed rehab/help. The gf committed suicide because of her own problems. I like her. She seems honest/real compared to many others.

Rosie is all over this thread. In fact she’s all over DL this past week, why else would a ‘Savage Garden’ thread pop up?

Ellen show may last only another season. I could see Rosie bringing back her talk show, it would fill that void.

R32 Now that you mention it, she might want to look into that, or even a show centered on real issues. A podcast might be best.

In Celebrity Detox she said Barbara Walters was too frail and tired to be on the air.

I don't think Roseanne is mentally unbalanced like Rosie. She's just dumb and has no filter. Rosie is seriously unhinged.

I mean, who would you rather sit your pet for the weekend: Roseanne or Rosie? Roseanne might let it out to pee and forget to let it in for a few hours, but Rosie is more likely to have a psychotic break and microwave it.

R35 I’m sorry, but as an unabashed fan of both, Roseanne takes the fruitcake, as they say.

Rosie said her father molested her. So I guess that article implies that her mother covered it up.

I like Rosie but as others have said, it's like a love/hate, back-and-forth thing with her. She's kind of crazy but she's also smart and she's no-bullshit.

I'll always respect her for being, essentially, the only one to speak out against Woody Allen and this was way back in the '90s, while Hollywood looked the other way and actors were tripping over each other to work with him, as being in a Woody Allen film was still considered prestigious in the '90s and still won people Oscars (Dianne Wiest, Mira Sorvino). Rosie refused to kiss his ass.

by Anonymousreply 43April 20, 2021 6:10 AM

He actually offered Rosie a part in Sweet and Lowdown after she had been so vocal about criticizing him. I wonder if he was testing her to see if she'd stand by her convictions or cave and jump at a part in a prestige film.

She wrote that when the offer came in she told her agent to ask does he know what I've said about him?

[quote] She's kind of crazy but she's also smart and she's no-bullshit.

What does that even mean? As you say, she's crazy, and since she's crazy she's full of her own bullshit. She lies constrantly, and was even caught out denying that she told her staffer on the "Rosie" magazine that liars get cancer, and then she was caught flat-out in court with a vocimail of her telling a staffer (whom Risie knew had HAD cancer), "Liars get cancer!"

And even aside from that, the New Age psychobabble she spouts is nothing but bullshit. Remember when she made the big deal on her website about "finding my yellow," which was some stupid phrase a therapist told her for finding joy? ior how about when she told us she had decided Elisabeth Hasselbeck secretly had the hots for her?

So what do you mean when you say "she's no bullshit"? Do you mean she doesn't put up with OTHER PEOPLE'S bullshit? Even that's not true either because we've sen how she enables the bullshit of people she wants to suck up to, like Barbra Streisand and Madonna and Tom "My Tommy!" Cruise.

Rosie is ultimately nothing BUT bullshit. She is an endless flowing stream of particularly foul bovine diarrhea.

by Anonymousreply 45April 20, 2021 6:38 AM

Is she going to talk about how she thought Elizabeth Hasselbeck wanted to scissor her? This old broad is delusional.

Hilarious. You might want to take a look at Roseanne's youtube channel. She's past the point of making sense from a sentence to the next. Rosie is fine.

[quote]She's kind of crazy but she's also smart and she's no-bullshit.

I absolutely agree. A lot of the crazy conspiracy-slash-psychobabble stuff she spouts comes not from a lack of intelligence but from emotional issues.

People don't realize how often others will believe truly outrageous things because it fulfills some kind of emotional need, rather than because they genuinely believe it to be the truth. It's really common for people who are frightened and also control freaks to insist that medical conditions can be prevented or cured by "good behavior," for instance, then they can tell themselves, "I live my life right, I won't get sick like THEY did."

She is smart, but she is pretty emotionally broken. Add in the usual spoiled behavior from celebrities and there are times when she comes off as a truly awful person. I don't think she really is, though.

I'm not sure I would agree that you are "fine", if 90% of the people that you have had close personal relationships with either commit suicide or become addicted to drugs.

Rosie admits in that interview that during the first fight she had with Trump when Barbara Walters didn't stand up for her she went after Walters' relationship with her own daughter which she now says was wrong.

Walters addressed this in her bio saying that she felt Rosie was acting out mother issues she had over her own mother with Barbara.
