VIDEO: Rosie O Donnell’s “Reason Why” She s Leaving The View
Rosie O’Donnell posted a video explaining ‘why’ she’s leaving “The View”.
Rosie’s last show is on Thursday, but she still hasn’t confirmed her departure on-air.
In a video blog she says: “Everybody wanted me to talk about it. I didn’t want to talk about it You can google why.”
“The truth is, I had a heart attack two years ago and stress is very bad for heart attack survivors. You should minimize your stress, maximize your exercise and control your diet. So that’s what I’m doing. I’m minimizing my stress by leaving The View.”
Alluding to her split from wife of nearly three years Michelle Rounds, she said, “The stress that I’m having at home is not as easily remediable But it’s hard. Marriage is complicated and I’ve got five kids; four of them are teenagers.”
“There’s lots of stuff going on at home and there’s lots of stuff going on at work. And the only thing I can control is the work. By leaving. I can turn that volume down all the way to zero and just focus on what I need to focus on, [which] is my health and my family.”
“I don’t want to talk about it on The View. So it was no one’s fault but mine that I didn’t discuss it today. Probably won’t discuss it tomorrow either!”
