Rosie O'Donnell Details "Painful" Friendship Fallout With Ellen DeGeneres
Rosie O'Donnell discusses the painful end of her friendship with Ellen DeGeneres after a 2004 interview, highlighting ongoing reflections and a rare apology from DeGeneres.
- On September 7, Rosie O'Donnell told Mamamia's No Filter podcast that ending her friendship with Ellen DeGeneres was "one of the most painful things that ever happened to me, in show business and my life."
- O'Donnell says the rupture grew from DeGeneres publicly downplaying their friendship, when she had earlier supported DeGeneres coming out but felt abandoned after a Larry King Live exchange years ago.
- O'Donnell said she knew DeGeneres for 30 years, had photos of her holding her newborns, and quoted, 'Instead of deciding to stand next to me and hold my hand, which is what I did to her, she did the opposite.'
- While some accounts note an apology attempt, O'Donnell argues she has not received an apology and they "never sort of gotten over it" despite DeGeneres reportedly reaching out the following year.
- Both have since moved abroad, with O'Donnell settling in Ireland and DeGeneres in the English countryside; their story intersected with Donald Trump's threats and DeGeneres' July Instagram support.
