Rosie O’Donnell speaks out about why she’s leaving The View: It’s about her health
Less than 24 hours after news broke that she was leaving The View and had split from her wife, Rosie O’Donnell attended the Athena Film Festival Awards on Saturday in New York City.
And she did not attempt to avoid the press.
“[My health] got a little bit worse right before the holidays — [my doctor] was kind of concerned,” Rosie told reporters. “I can’t really fix [my personal life] right away, but I can fix [my job].”
“So I spoke to them at ABC, and I told them, and they understood,” she added. “They’ve been unbelievable supportive and loving.”
Rosie has spoken to co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie Perez and Nicolle Wallace and said they are supportive.
“Everyone cares about each other — no one wants to do something that’s going to affect someone’s health,” she said. “Not everything works out as you planned, but you never know what’s going to happen tomorrow.”
Rosie doesn’t think her split from wife Michelle Rounds should be a complete shock for anyone who follows her on social media.
“All you have to do is go on Instagram,” she said. “You can see she’s not in the house with me. It’s been since Thanksgiving. People are not idiots.”
Wishing Rosie the very best!

It’s not about her health. It’s about the drama. She thrives on it.
