Elisabeth Hasselbeck criticizes Rosie O’Donnell after her fight

Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Rosie O’Donnell butted heads during the May 23, 2007 episode of “The View.” Nearly two decades later, the dispute resurfaced when O’Donnell implied in an interview that the show’s creators had orchestrated the confrontation.

Hasselbeck was overcome with emotion as he addressed O’Donnell’s recent comments about their highly publicized fight. She shared a series of videos on her Instagram Story on Thursday, October 9, criticizing her former colleague for bullying her by digging up her past.

The media personality began speaking about her blossoming friendship with “The View” panelist Whoopi Goldberg, stressing that the latter was not someone to berate her for having different opinions. She threw shade at O’Donnell, indicating that she is the type to hold a grudge, saying:

“This requires two reasonable people with good hearts, with different opinions agreeing that we are God’s people and we will love each other through our opinions and let them differ without punishing the other person.”

Hasselbeck claimed she made multiple attempts to reconcile with O’Donnell after their 2007 argument, noting that ABC pushed her to apologize after O’Donnell resigned.

Hasselbeck claimed she was forced to address her issues with O’Donnell publicly because the latter did not want to reconcile. She confirmed that she tried to contact her after the explosive confrontation and asked O’Donnell to reach out to her if she really wanted to talk.

“If you want to meet and talk, let’s do it. Come swim in my pool, come a few laps, then go back to America and enjoy your nation,” Hasselbeck said. She indicated that she would cook dinner for O’Donnell and do whatever she wanted to “stop the bullying.”

Hasselbeck doubled down on her great friendship with Goldberg, despite their differing opinions, and claimed that her relationship with O’Donnell was manipulative. Hasselbeck added: “She can create any reality she wants. We all see it, we all know it. Honestly, I love you, Rosie.”

Hasselbeck’s emotional response continued with claims that O’Donnell’s account attacked her “personal character” and the “integrity” of her work on the ABC show. She implored the “The Rosie O’Donnell Show” alum to close the chapter on their past and move on without trying to tarnish her reputation.

“Stop lying, stop, stop, and in the meantime, even if you don’t stop, I will still forgive you,” Hasselbeck said while crying. She begs O’Donnell to “stop the madness, stop lying, and be free,” and she even prays that God will free her from the lies and find true happiness without destroying someone’s character.

During the interview, O’Donnell suggested that her altercation with Hasselbeck was more than that because the show’s creators reacted so quickly to the incident. She suspected the moment could have been staged because the late producer Bill Geddy was a “fast guy.”

“He wasn’t saying, ‘Mr. Let’s go to split screen.” “That was set up,” O’Donnell claimed, referring to the network’s decision to run split screen during her fight with Hasselbeck. As for what happened between the former friends, O’Donnell admitted she was shocked by Hasselbeck’s reaction.

She claimed they had a good time together, with the latter visiting her home with her child and swimming in her pool.
