Rosie O' Donnell calls it quits

edited April 2007 in A Moving Train
The Co-Host and majority mouth piece of ABC's daytime show the View calls it quits and claims the reason is her contract is not being handled properly. I call bullshit! Maybe Ms O'Donnell was asked very nicely that after comments yesterday at the Matrix Awards, a benefit she was the host of made brash comments to Rupert Murdoch and Donald Trump. Comments in which she used profanity and even asked "The Donald" to "eat her", not sure maybe that had something to do with it.

This woman used a national tragedy in the Columbine killings to her benefit or not which ever way you see it to claim depression, pretty sure those closely affected felt real depression and for this woman to use it as an excuse disgusts me. It is far to long coming for her and ABC to sit back while she dumbs down the national with her ridiculous opinions and rants and raves, I guess ABC finally had enough. Good Job ABC you have gotten back the very little credibilty you had.

    and she used PTSD for her own gains. a serious condition she belittled with her rantings. maybe i should get disability because i'm depressed over VT. what a crock. hope she disappears from the public eye so we never have to hear her bs again.

    totally agree.

    Um...if it was, as you say, a "national tragedy", then I don't really think it's fair to imply that she co-opted someone else's sorrow for her own gain. (I'm not really sure why anyone would "claim depression" for his or her own benefit.)

    How did she benefit from her claims of depression?

    Rest in Peace Rosie.

    by claiming depression DISABLED her as a result of the columbine shootings. she claimed she has POST TRAUMATIC SHOCK SYNDROME and used this and her "fame" (?) to promote an anti-gun atmosphere. thus gaining momentum for her own personal attack on guns.

    it's funny how she was the only person in the country to claim this. those who were a part if the incident got counseling and went on with thier lives.

    may is national depression awareness month and my sister will be featured in many newspapers and magazines plus she's also sheduled to appear on oprah. she was the first to receive a VNS implant to combat depression. rosie o'fatass spit in the face of those with real depression problems.

    I'm sure she wasn't the only one for whom this event triggered (no pun intended) deepening depression. She might have, however, been the only one with a public platform on which to discuss it.

    Regardless, she never blamed her depression on Columbine. She said that her therapist recognized her depression many years prior to that event. It was her feelings after that event that caused her to realize that she suffered from depression.

    I don't share the opinion that she used her public discussion of depression to further her anti-gun agenda.

    So your sister suffers from depression, therefore Rosie does not? I fail to see the logic in that. ;)

    seeing the condition of the world every day deepens my depression. i deal with it; i don't cry to the public about it.

    my point here is that i know real depression. true depression triggers other medical problems. if rosie suffered from real depression she wouldn't be able to conduct her normal activities.

    Well, I think you might have missed the point of her "crying to the public" about it. It's not like she's standing in a town square, wearing a sandwich sign and ringing a bell while asking people to feel sorry for her. She has chosen to use her public platform to bring awareness and understanding to a serious illness.

    Rosie treats her depression with medication and therapy, which enables her to carry on normal activities. (In fact, it was her inability to carry on normal activities following the Columbine disaster that made her recognize her depression.)

    You don't have to like her, but don't use that as an excuse for belittling her experience with depression. Your own depression doesn't qualify you to comment on the mental health of others.

    no; i don't like her. but i gave up a business worth millions AND a recording contract when i had a brain aneurysm and subsequent brain surgery that went bad. if you want to know about depression and good reasons for depression i'll talk your ear off. i pulled myself out of it and started a business that was conducive to my condition. if i have a seizure or stroke and i'm bedridden for days; i catch up when i can. on the other hand; i can't make real plans for anything. a seizure kept me from my grandmothers funeral.
    so do you want to talk about real depression or "rosie depression"?

    Oh, so now you're a mental health expert too :rolleyes:

    Here's a newsflash for ya ... clinical depression can manifest itself in different ways, different people show different symptoms. Some can get out of bed, some can't. And people who are being properly treated for it can certainly get out of bed in the morning. That is, in fact, one of the purposes of being treated.

    I would never watch the view but I like Rosie a lot. She speaks her mind, she's honest, opinionated. I really like people who are honest and have courage. I think that's important. I'm sad to see her go.
    Be excellent to each other

    they wanted her to have a 3 year contract, she only wanted a year, thats why she left. (news reports)

    I don't know why people hate her so much, all she did was give her view on a show called "the view", is'nt that the point?

    she may not of been the most poetic. but are the other people on the show any better?

    if having lived through it makes someone an expert; then i guess i am. if having seen the effects and treatments first hand and the different levels of depression counts for anything; i guess i am.
    here's a news flash for you. everyone suffers from depression at some level. if i can get up in the morning and make millions my depression can't be that bad. most people with her weight have depression and it's due to the weight. they can blame the weight on the depression but that's not the true reason.
    i'd like to know what qualifies you as an expert. i know you suffer from depression and with good reason. but i've seen people who required surgery and shock treatments for depression. yes it manifests itself on different levels with different people; and in mild cases medication does work; but for the fuss she puts up; it's like me crying about a hang nail.

    I'm sorry for what you are saying you've experienced, but your pain does not take away from someone else's. And as hippiemom said, depression can manifest itself in many different ways.

    Nothing you have said qualifies you to comment on someone else's mental health. Your own experience does not make you an expert about anyone but yourself.

    I am just upset that ABC didn't completely sandbag that bitch like NBC did with Imus. They should have made Rosie apologize to the Donald for even hinting he should "eat" her. And sorry she wasn't honest very opionionated with no proof of anything she said. I wanna see Barbara and Elisabeth finally get a word in edge wise; they really never could speak their "view" with Rosie running show.

    That's really not for you to judge. It's this very attitude that helps maintain the stigma attached to seeking treatment for mental health issues.

    But you can't comment on her experience with depression. Only she knows what she has experienced, and I am only commenting on what she has said about it.

    It's not about who has experienced the most tragedy or who has had the saddest life; it is an issue of brain chemistry.

    If she had made the "eat me" comment on The View, then they might have asked her to appologize. She was speaking at a private event and ABC had nothing to do with it.

    Furthermore, Imus should never have been fired for what he said. He never would have been if this had happened about a week later, when the media had bigger fish to fry.

    BTW, Elisabeth doesn't have anything worthwhile to say. ;)
