Rosie O'Donnell quits the View three weeks early
ABC Daytime announced Friday that Rosie O'Donnell will not be returning to the View.
"We had hoped that Rosie would be with us until the end of her contract," said Brian Frons, president of ABC Daytime Television, "but Rosie has informed us that she would like an early leave. Therefore, we part ways, thank her for her tremendous contribution to The View and wish her well."
Rosie was expected to leave the show at the end of her contract in June, but after this week's blow-up she isn't returning.
View creator Barbara Walters spoke highly of O'Donnell despite her early split.
"Rosie contributed to one of our most exciting and successful years at The View. I am most appreciative. Our close and affectionate relationship will not change," Walters said.
Despite the rough week, Rosie spoke just as highly of the show and her co-hosts.
"It's been an amazing year and I love all three women," O'Donnell added.
O'Donnell was off Thursday to celebrate wife Kelli Carpenter's 40th birthday. Friday's show was pretaped.

I only started watching the View after Star Jones left and was replaced with Rosie. The topics these women talked about were energizing. Now I hope the ratings for the View go so low that it will be taken off the air and replaced with the Rosie Show. Elizabeth, it is so obvious that you have been a spoilt, pampered rich kid all your life. I feel sorry for your children. PS: Nor could I watch you on Survivor. Your actions spoke louder than words & for Barbara Walters, you are also a hypocrite, hanging out with the widow of Enron, a man who stole from innocent employees. I hope it is the end of the View! Joy is a joy!

Rosie is a loud mouth fat ass moron who is best served off camera. Elizabeth is a classy lady and Joy is a burp. Joy is junkie, just plug her in and she'll light up with nothing factual to say. I like Star Jones but she was too bright for the group and they couldn't stand her genius. She was outgoing but not the gagging type like Rosie and she was most of all educated and factual. Sadly the one who is hurt the most it's Barbara Walters, she's floundering on her own show, and don't think she doesn't know that Rosie ruined her wonderful reputaion at the end of her life. Tragic what a freak like Rosie can do to hurt people, but look at her and listen to the hate she spews, count on it .. she is self destructive .. and she never has anything good to say. GOOD YOU ARE GOING ROSIE, WE COULDN'T STAND YOU!!!!
