“I have an understanding of the cycle of show business and kind of what happens in people’s careers and when enough is enough. And oftentimes, people don’t know that, you know?
I don’t think it was the ‘be kind’ thing that got her. I think that’s an oversimplification. But it was a lot of things and it was complicated.
I’m glad that she’s, you know, going to be finished and she can get some time to herself to just, I mean, it’s a huge kind of strange thing to be on a show like that and have all that attention on you. And she had it for, like, 19 years. So, you know, it’s a tough thing.”Rosie O’Donnell speaking to SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show about Ellen’s epic fall from grace.

I don’t think Ellen will hurt one bit. She may not be in front of the camera but she has a very successful production company that has a few shows on the air-“A Very Good Production”.

Ellen needs to go THIS YEAR!

Ellen had all the money in the world. She’ll be okay.

….not a big deal kind of statement from RO….next.

Probably time to move on for Ellen. However, I hate this cancel culture stuff; people who love throwing stones and pretend to be perfect while tweeting from their mom’s basement. Ellen is not perfect, no one is. Lucky for her she has a ton of money not no F’s to give.

For someone that spent so much time in the talking business, Rosie definitely does NOT have a command on the basic English language… how many times can she use “I mean” and “You know” in a paragraph? Such a simpleton.
ScottOnEarth
LOL! I was thinking the same thing….um, you know!?

I actually like it. I think it indicates that she was genuinely speaking off the cuff, rather than off a prepared statement, since she didn’t have to practice it prior to performing the line.
Rosie has been out of the spotlight for a long time now, but people still like her because she comes off as very down to earth, despite actually being fabulously wealthy. She has a working person’s sensibilities about a lot of things when she speaks.

I think it would have been easier if Rosie had just said, If anybody knows how to screw up a career, it’s me, so here’s my advice.

The right wing troll account will always use any opportunity to attack an out of the closet celeb.
Openminded
And a hate filled hag will always use any opportunity to attack someone who speaks his own truth.

slow “news” day eh?

Must be…cause here we are!
Cam
Whenever she has the opportunity to actually challenge anything Rosie seems to never say anything meaningful.
Openminded
And to think you just posted above “The right wing troll account will always use any opportunity to attack an out of the closet celeb.” Such a hypocrite you are.

Except my comment was about Rosie’s habit of avoiding direct statements about anything related to others in Hollywood. Yours was about a false attack on her career. She had the number one show for years, is worth something like $150 million, so the comment was ridiculous.

How much you wanna bet she’ll have an HGTV renovating show soon. She’s known to flip houses. So I see that kind of show happening within a year or two.
Troyfight
….blasted out laughing…..so true – could see that happening
