BARBARA WALTERS - BARBARA FIRES BACK AT ROSIE

BARBARA FIRES BACK AT ROSIE

Without mentioning her by name, Barbara Walters lashed out at Rosie O'Donnell on The View Thursday for her recent criticism of the show. Walters said that "some people who have done this show" feel a need "to dump on it, maybe for their own publicity." That, she said, "not only hurts me, but I resent it." Although she may also have had former View panelist Star Jones in mind, Walters' remarks came a day after O'Donnell had said that Walters had asked the show's hosts to pretend that they were friendly, while in fact they had little to do with one another. "The fact of the matter is there was not a lot of camaraderie off camera," O'Donnell had said.
