Rosie O\u2019Donnell has been trashing fellow comic Ellen DeGeneres by revealing new details about their decades-long fallout, and insiders say the shamed TV host is freaking out and squawking that she can\u2019t catch a break.<\/p>\n

Sources say that 63-year-old Rosie continues to rip into Ellen, 67, because she thinks the former talk show queen bee is a fraud.<\/p>\n

Rosie recalled her friendship with Ellen flamed out after the voice of Disney\u2019s Dory the fish blabbed on live TV that she wasn\u2019t friendly with Rosie.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was, like, one of the most painful things that ever happened to me, in show business, in my life,\u201d she confesses on an episode of Mamamia\u2019s No Filter<\/a> podcast. \u201cI couldn\u2019t believe it. I have photos of her holding my newborn babies. I knew her for 30 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rosie also said Ellen didn\u2019t support her when she came out as gay during a comedy set in February 2002, but that she supported Ellen when she jumped outta the closet on her popular talk show in 1997.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of deciding to stand next to me and hold my hand, which is what I did to her, she did the opposite,\u201d Rosie complains.<\/p>\n

Says an insider, \u201cIt\u2019s shocking to Ellen that Rosie is still dredging up the past and saying negative things about her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot too long ago, Rosie ripped Ellen by recalling the \u2018weirdness\u2019 in their relationship. Now she\u2019s doing it again but with more force.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Globe has reported, Ellen ended her long-running talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, in shame following 19 seasons in 2022 after staffers accused her of being nasty and demanding behind the scenes, and running a toxic workplace \u2014 and she\u2019s now living in self-imposed exile in England with her actress wife, 52-year-old Portia de Rossi. (Ellen made an on-air apology to viewers and staff, saying things \u201chappened here that never should have happened.\u201d)<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Rosie moved to Dublin, Ireland, with her daughter Dakota following Donald Trump\u2019s presidential win.<\/p>\n

\u201cEllen wants peace and quiet in her life, but Rosie won\u2019t let her have it. She thinks Rosie enjoys taking digs at her,\u201d claims the insider. \u201cShe\u2019s desperately trying to get a TV comeback off the ground, and it\u2019s been hard, so this is the last thing she needs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rosie O\u2019Donnell has been trashing fellow comic Ellen DeGeneres by revealing new details about their decades-long fallout, and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171771,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,12219,71980,134,11023,427],"class_list":{"0":"post-171770","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-ellen-degeneres","11":"tag-ellen-degeneres-show","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-rosie-odonnell","14":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171770","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171770"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171770\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171771"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
