Lots of changes are coming for Rosie O’Donnell. Whether they can be deemed positive changes still remains a question.
According to TMZ, O’Donnell’s rep confirmed that she and partner of two years, Michelle Rounds are separating. The couple adopted a baby together in 2013. The rep also confirmed the split occurred in November.
It’s due to the shift in family dynamic that Rosie is leaving The View. Fans and viewers of the show are shocked considering she only returned to the show a mere five months ago, in September. Claiming her focus will now be on her family, the upcoming week will be her last on the nationally televised talk show.
CNN shared statements from ABC, who made it clear that O’Donnell is not leaving on any negative terms. "Rosie is an immensely talented star who comes in each and every morning brimming with ideas, excitement and passion for the show.”
It’s clear that the crew at The View will miss Rosie, but family comes first. Here’s to nothing but positivity for her from here on out.
Considering so many personalities have worked on the show since it's start in 1997, the first question on everyone's mind is who is next? Who do YOU think it will be?
