Well folks, we all knew it was bound to happen sometime. Rosie has just released a statement saying that she will officially be leaving The View in mid-June. Somewhere Star Jones and Donald Trump are laughing their asses off. She will announce on today’s show that she’s leaving. Sounds like money issues and differences in opinion were at the root of the split but off course both parties involved are being tight-lipped about the situation. Don’t cry for Rosie, I’m sure with the ratings she’s been pulling in lately that she’ll have her own show in no time. What more can you say?…It was fun while it lasted.

“This has been an amazing experience, and one I wouldn’t have traded for the world. Working with Barbara, Joy and Elisabeth has been one of the highlights of my career, but my needs for the future just didn’t dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me. To all the viewers out there, I just want to say ‘thank you’ for opening up your hearts and your homes to me this past year. But you can always find me at rosie.com. Here’s hoping there’s more confetti for all of us going forward.”

Walters also released a statement saying

“I induced Rosie to come back to television on ‘The View’ even for just one year. She has given the program new vigor, new excitement and wonderful hours of television. I can only be grateful to her for this year. I am very sad that ABC Daytime could not reach an agreement with her for a second year. We will all miss Rosie on ‘The View,’ and hope she will be back with us often next season. She remains for me a cherished friend and colleague.”
