Rosie O’Donnell still wary of Ellen DeGeneres: ‘I don’t trust this person’

0

This is definitely some feud for thought.

Rosie O’Donnell, 61, recently revealed her relationship status with fellow retired talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, 65 — and it’s complicated.

“She texted me a few weeks ago checking in, seeing how I’m doing, and I asked her how she’s surviving not being on TV,” O’Donnell told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Thursday.

“It’s a big transition. But we’ve had our weirdness in our relationship. I don’t know if it’s jealousy, competition or the fact that she said a mean thing about me once that really hurt my feelings.”

She explained to the outlet that DeGeneres said the “mean thing” during an appearance on “Larry King Live.”

The Post reached out to reps for DeGeneres for comment.

O’Donnell says King asked DeGeneres, “Whatever happened to Rosie O’Donnell’s show? She went down the tubes as soon as she came out.”

DeGeneres replied that she “didn’t know” O’Donnell, and they “weren’t friends,” according to O’Donnell’s account.

O’Donnell told THR she didn’t feel the same way — and she claims DeGeneres recently texted her about the situation.

“She wrote, ‘I’m really sorry and I don’t remember that,’” O’Donnell alleged. “I guess she saw me talk about it on Andy Cohen’s show. I remembered it so well, I had T-shirts printed, and I gave them to my staff that said, ‘I don’t know Rosie. We’re not friends.’”

She continued, “I have a picture of her holding [my then-infant son] Parker. I know her mother. I could identify her brother without her in the room. I knew her for so many years. It just felt like I don’t trust this person to be in my world.”

She had mentioned the story while appearing on Andy Cohen’s late-night show, “Watch What Happens Live,” in September.

O’Donnell said when she and DeGeneres were coming up in the comedy world, they had a good, supportive relationship.

The former “View” co-host even recalled DeGeneres’ 1996 appearance on her talk show, when they made jokes about being “Lebanese” because they both liked DJ Casey Kasem.

“The Rosie O’Donnell Show” aired from 1996 to 2002, and “The Rosie Show” from 2011 to 2012.

DeGeneres isn’t the only celeb who O’Donnell has fallen out with.

She recently spoke about her infamous 2007 tussle with conservative commentator Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

The two former co-hosts of “The View” got into a 10-minute shouting match about their differing views on the Iraq war.

It quickly turned ugly and personal.

“I know this — it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness,” O’Donnell said about “The View” during an April appearance on Brooke Shields’ podcast, “Now What? With Brooke Shields.”

“It was not something I’d ever do again,” she continued.

O’Donnell co-hosted “The View” from 2006–2007 and 2014–2015.

For her part, DeGeneres ended her talk show last year after 19 seasons.
