Gossip: Oprah Winfrey, Rosie O’Donnell
The talk-show queens are reportedly at loggerheads over Winfrey’s decision to cancel O’Donnell’s show.
Oprah Winfrey and Rosie O’Donnell are feuding, said RadarOnline.com. The talk-show queens are reportedly at loggerheads over Winfrey’s decision last week to cancel O’Donnell’s poorly received talk show on embattled cable network OWN. In a press release, Winfrey blamed the show’s demise on ratings, but sources say she may have had it with O’Donnell’s mistreatment of her employees. Former staffers have come out dishing against O’Donnell’s tyrannical ways, with one calling the show a “f---ing hellhole.”
