Elisabeth Hasselbeck<\/a> has called out her former The View<\/a> co-host Rosie O\u2019Donnell, imploring her to \u201cstop the madness\u201d and \u201cthe lying\u201d about their on-air tussle years ago.<\/p>\n

The pair, who appeared together as panelists on the ABC daytime talk show<\/a>, infamously got into a shouting match during a May 2007 episode, with O\u2019Donnell accusing Hasselbeck of not defending her against right-wing media ire over critical comments about the Iraq<\/a> war. <\/p>\n

During a recent appearance on the Australian radio show Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel, O\u2019Donnell reignited earlier claims that their feud was a \u201csetup\u201d by producers. <\/p>\n

Hasselbeck issued a fiery, emotional response in a series of since-expired clips posted Thursday to her Instagram Story, demanding the 63-year-old A League of Their Own actor \u201cjust stop\u201d and \u201cbe free.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI really hope that you can be released from whatever this is that\u2019s causing you to cause such harm,\u201d the Survivor alum, 48, said, per Entertainment Weekly<\/a>. \u201cAnd it can just be so much more free, Rosie, if you can just stop. Stop the madness, stop the lying and just be free. And even maybe if you don\u2019t stop, I still forgive you.\u201d <\/p>\n

Hasselbeck also claimed that she tried calling O\u2019Donnell because ABC<\/a> made her \u201ccall and apologize\u201d after their on-air spat, which ultimately led to O\u2019Donnell\u2019s initial exit from the show in May 2007. O\u2019Donnell later returned for a brief six-month stint in 2014\/2015, the year after Hasselbeck was fired from the show. <\/p>\n

Hasselbeck said she believes O\u2019Donnell brings up their old feud \u201cin a way that\u2019s personally attacking me and the integrity of our work there and my personal character.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI love my friends who disagree with me. I tried to call you many times and reach out to you after that, Rosie, and you don\u2019t want repair,\u201d she continued. \u201cI have to go here because you won\u2019t respond. If you want to get together and talk, let\u2019s do it, come over and swim in my pool, come take a couple laps, come back to America and enjoy your nation. We can have an open free dialogues about what we disagree on. I\u2019ll make you dinner, what do you want to stop the bullying?\u201d<\/p>\n

Hasselbeck said, \u201cIn Jesus\u2019 name I pray the lies held over you are released and that you can feel freedom and real joy without feeling satisfaction from trying to lie about somebody and destroy their character.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Independent has contacted O\u2019Donnell\u2019s representatives for comment. <\/p>\n

O\u2019Donnell is well-known for her politically liberal views. Earlier this year, she fled to Ireland <\/a>to escape President Donald Trump\u2019s second term in office. Meanwhile, Hasselbeck was a prominent conservative voice on The View from 2003 to 2013. <\/p>\n

Her axing came during a pivotal moment for the show, with ABC executives telling her that they wanted to go in a \u201cless political direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFeeling a dose of betrayal and a whopper of confusion, I felt like the walls of the building were folding in on me,\u201d Hasselbeck described in her 2019 memoir, Point of View.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":193399,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[96,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-193398","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=193398"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193398\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/193399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
