Barbara Walters Snaps Back at Rosie O'Donnell's Rant

The View matriarch has a few choice words for her former cohost

Leave it to Rosie O'Donnell to get Barbara Walters' panties all up in a bunch.

In the latest war of words between these two, Walters remarked on The View Thursday: "There are some people who have done this show and then for years feel they have to dump on it, maybe for publicity, and that not only hurts me, but I resent it."

Barbara tartly continued, with an assumed dig at the always outspoken Star Jones as well, "So if the shoe fits, lady—ladies—get on with your lives."

While she didn't single out O'Donnell by name, it's probably a safe guess she was responding to comments made by the former View cohost Wednesday...

While promoting her Rosie Live variety special Wednesday, O'Donnell said, "[Walters] wanted everyone to believe and think and act as if [the women on The View] get along and are really good friends and happy and hang out together, and, you know, that's just not the reality. I'm not saying they loathe each other, but the fact of the matter is there was not a lot of camaraderie off camera."

Ah, say what you will about the constant catfighting, but seriously, is there any other reason to watch?
