Rosie O’Donnell: Love People Back to Life
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 พ.ค. 2023
- Rosie O’Donnell (The Rosie O’Donnell Show, A League of Their Own, Onward podcast) discusses the ripple effects of her mom passing when Rosie was a child, the emergence of the first LGBTQ movement, and the emotional highs and lows of becoming an activist for gay parents. She explains how she got into stand-up comedy as a teenager, the prevalence of alcoholism and abuse on her father's side of the family, and how losing mother made her strive to please the adults in her life and putting on a tough persona as a cry for love. Rosie opens up about the differences between her coming out process and what it’s like to come out now, her intense quest for spirituality, and navigating her youngest daughter’s autism diagnosis & what her daughter has taught her about inclusivity. She describes the odd circumstances of her heart attack and how symptoms differ between men and women, what it was like to address her ex-wife’s suicide as a public person, and how alcoholism varies from drug addiction. Mayim and Rosie break down adoption trauma, nature vs nurture in adoption, why women’s rights affect everything, and Rosie’s opinion on The View after all these years.

Her explanation on being a 'tomboy' but never confused about being a girl.. or regretting that.. uggh yeesss!!!!!!! Thank you!!!
She’s not trans she’s just gay.
I am the Mother of 3 and a grandmother of 3. I was a “tomboy” growing up. No one made a big deal about it. I was (and am) a girl-just not a girlie girl. I’ve never been into makeup, shopping, body stuff. I went to a trainer to play better tennis and not to look better, but to feel better! Yes, I compare my physique to others and think, “dang” - I could look better if I wanted to, but that’s too much work! My mother always thought I would be happier if I lost weight. I was always on a diet growing up and I was only 20 lbs over my ideal weight. I was/am happy if I am me! I don’t have to “fit in.” What is “in?” I am me!
BTW-I love RO! Loved her show, especially her radio show. I will find her podcasts now!

Remember when we (boomers) thought there was nothing wrong with pot. And everyone thought we were young and dumb? Live and let live I guess.
I really appreciated the way Rosie articulatd her respect for her siblings in not oversharing about their childhood.
Right on! So glad Rosie respected her siblings in not oversharing.
Did she go on to say that she abused her own kids?!
@@startrekmaniac1701 She did not abuse her kids.
@@elizabethlascheid7798 tell that to her daughter
@@startrekmaniac1701 You have no idea what you are talking about. The daughter in question has mental heath issues, was and I think still is very involved with drugs. Even she said in an interview that she was never abused, she just did not like Rosie and ran away first to use drugs with an adult male (in jail) and then to me with her bio mom.
Heartbreaking to watch Rosie explaining that her teacher was the first person telling her she loved her & hugging her. The one telling her the biggest true that “loves makes the family, not blood”. I’m crying heart wrenched watching Rosie speak about her daughter’s problems & about adoption trauma & the convo between one of her daughters & her RL mom. And about her ex-wife..I just want to hug all them dearly.
My God, Rosie is such fascinating, brave, admirable woman! World should be thankful for the existence of Human Rights & LGTBIQ+ advocates & activists like her. I am. Thanks for bringing her to MBB, Mayim! 💜
I'm NY Eastern European Jew (from Long Island) married to a lovely man from an irish Catholic family, so much of Rosie's story rings close to the heart. Great podcast!
I feel the same way, all that you said, I was tearing up, Rosie is such a sweet and loving woman, she deserves more positivity around her. She cares and is so loving. She's had so much traumatic things happen to her in her life. I'm so glad that she's very open about everything. I love you so much Rosie. Very Big Hug's 🤗🤗🤗 and love ❤️❤️❤️ sent to you. I'm so Proud of you Rosie!!!!!!
I have been watching since the beginning and this episode was authentic, moving, and inspiring. Exactly the kind of thoughtful exchange and supportive engagement of two unique and courageous women willing to be vulnerable and model the way for many of us still struggling through our own trauma and pain. Thank you for allowing us a window into your conversation & leaving us to be more introspective and forthright in our own lives 🫶🏽
This was just so raw emotional and real. I smiled laughed I sobbed.
Ditto Im a huge fan ❤
Both of these women are wise, respectful, kind, smart, good, reflective, productive, and honest.
Powerful and inspirational!
Hi, I wanted to share the story of my son sleeping in my bed when he was a child. My husband and I divorced when our son was two and a half years old. My son suffered some other trauma at around the same time so whenever he wanted to sleep in my bed I let him. As the years went by people (my parents) started expressing concern that he was getting a little too old and I decided that when he was ready he would make the decision to sleep only in his own bed. I wasn't going to kick him out or deny him a feeling of comfort and safety. Then my parents bought him a mattress warmer. He never slept in my bed again! It turns out that he was coming into my bed because he was cold, not because of a need for comfort. This is a sweet memory that always makes us laugh. Thanks for another wonderful episode. Dawn
He wanted your comfort, warmth provided a reminder of you ❤
what if he wanted to stay in your bed until he was 13? If you don't want to hurt his little feelings and such. I've actually seen that in Taiwan. A boy sleeping in between his mother and father until that age. Why not just ask your kid why he's getting into bed with you? Too simple I guess.
@@charitylouisaa 2 year old probably doesn’t understand their “why”
@@charitylouisa So what. I think every family and every culture is different. On my mom's side of the family (hispanic) the kids, usually the youngest in the family stays sleeping in the parents bed the longest. No one thinks it's weird. I have many cousins both male and female, that slept in their parent's bed until they went away to college or left to join the marines at 18. I didn't sleep in my own room until I was 13, and I always had my own room. I had all my belongings in my room, my clothing, furniture, my bed. I would lay on my bed and read during he day but that's it. With my own kids, my babies sleep with me and nurse at night. It's so convenient and my babies sleep really well. Then when I get pregnant I start to transition them into a bed in my room or if they're not too little, another room with a sibling so that when the new baby is born it isn't an issue. It's always worked great. While I'm getting the baby settled for the night my husband is reading stories to the little ones. He's from a completely different culture but grew up pretty much the same way. Our youngest is 3 and still sleeps next to me. And occasionally I'll wake up with our 5 year old cuddled next to me. He just shows up at some point during the night. My husband grew up very close to his parents too. He always says, adults don't like to sleep alone so why would kids? Plus kids can get scared. They're only little once and it's so brief, cherish it.
If you are struggling read this~ I know I’m young but I would just like to say that, In 7th grade I was in a very dark place. I couldn’t feel much emotion and I had thoughts of revenge and the other things. But God saved me, He gave me the people in my life and he showed himself to me. Even in my darkest days He was there with me, He never left me. One day while I was in bed I started to pray with my hand go the sky and I felt something holding my hand. At that very moment I knew it was Him. I repent of all of the sins I have committed. I am ready to begin a new life with Him. There is still time go repent love one another and believe in Christ for He will forgive you❤️ He helped me in hard and he will help you too:). Just pray!
Incredible podcast Mayim. Rosie is always so authentic, open and honest. A treat to have such guests talk about their world view.
tired, really tired of knowing every last detail about all these has-beens who are now podcasting all their feelings about EVERYTHING. Give us a break already.
Rosie calmer than I feel like I’ve ever seen her before. What a lovely, soothing one-on-one today between two fiercely strong women!💕
Hello Mandy
How are you
I did not like her when she was on the view but I think I would have liked this version.
@Sara Mill oh plez she's a mature older woman now...and will say FU CK you to the face of young punks that support nazis like trump...seen her go off so do I a many a time we both call shit out!!! And you are full of shit .drugs my ass 😊 Jesus saves
fiercely strong? I'm gonna gag
what fueled her acting out (appropriately i might add) on the view was probably similar to the endless anger chelsea handler would experience since 2016 before she finally was able to process and grieve her brother's death and childhood abandonment trauma. they both allowed politics to channel unprocessed trauma.
Being a child from the 80’s with all gay parents, Rosie will always be my biggest hero! Thank you for being so brave, I love you so much!!
How about you two having a weekly chat here? Loved every minute of this.
That would be fantastic 😻
OMG! This!!!!❤❤❤❤
Loved her in League of Her Own and the Rosie O'Donnell show. She is such a compelling storyteller.
I loved her in Sleepless and enjoyed her talk show.
Always been a fan of Rosie O'Donnell, and this was a wonderful episode. But in my little world, it has also been very therapeutic... laughs and tears all the way! Thank you Mayim for this therapy. I needed it today!
I've known RO awhile...she's great very New York which I tend to be myself even though I was raised in east texas hell...buy new york kept sane when I sneak away
I'm loving the natural looks of both ladies ❤
I concur! Refreshing.
Shrek is a ogre not a lady
@@startrekmaniac1701 Shrek? Shrek is an animated movie. What does it have to do with this?
@@lhmccool67 do I really need to explain that to you?! Isn’t it obvious?
Both these ladies are amazing!! 😩❤️
I believe Rosie's mother has been her Guardian Angel her entire life and contributing to all the good things.
"There's something about the brutal honesty of autism that is freeing." - Rosie O'Donnell
As a lesbian foster mum to 4 traumatized siblings since they came to me in 2007, i really loved hearing Rosie's perspective. Terrific discussion.
Thank you for the important work you're doing, Natasha!!! 🫶🫶🫶
Hello Natasha
How are you
Thank you, Rosie, for telling your daughter that you can like "boy things" and still be a girl! It seems like we are regressing super hard into the gender stereotypes that feminists have always fought against. A girl with short hair who likes trucks and football is still a girl. A boy with long hair who likes tea parties and pink princesses is still a boy. Let kids be kids!
Word!
Agreed...but that also means if they feel like they are the opposite sex of what they are born as ....that should be accepted also. I think Rosie's point was not against Trans ppl as some of these comments suggest. Rosie was trying to also say whatever you feel is correct and that nothing should be labeled or pigeonholed. That's what I got out of it anyway.
@@cynthiabelknap8655exactly. Lots of people seem to be hearing the first part but not the second. She uses herself as an example of a tomboy but also says they can figure it out if the kid needs to.
@@middleagedcouchpotato677 you can't switch sex. Stop lying to people.
Letting kids be kids is exactly what is currently happening - what am I missing?
I LOVE the comments about nurses loving parents to life. I’ve been a nurse 46 years. Thank you 🙏 for remembering us.
God bless you and your beautiful calling.
Rosie's mom was so smart & loving to teach her kids how to each cook one meal, making sure they's have good things to each once she was gone🥰She's smart like her mom, too, I can only begin to imagine of how proud she is of her bright & beautiful daughter!
Rosie you are an ascended master. I have always adored you and I've always known what a beautiful human you are, as a 50 year old gay man i would like to thank you for supporting our brothers and sisters and for helping to give me the life i have, thanks to incredible people like you and thank you for raising with pure love and care all your children. Peace and love to you always Rosie. I love you too Mayim so so much, your podcast is brilliant and i never miss it. I will always remember Mayim how incredible you were as little Bette Midler in Beaches, so talented and brilliant in that role. Bless you honey 💙🙏💙
I love that you had Rosie on, I wish this episode was a lot longer. Rosie is great! Thank you so much for having her on
Hello Stacee
How are you
I am a nurse with childhood trauma and a deep mother wound who wants to adopt, so this episode hit me hard in the feels in so many ways. Thank you, Ro, for telling your story and thank you, Mayim, for doing this work. I find healing in many ways, and connecting to other people's experiences is one of them.
Yeah definitely. I hear you. Connection with what others are experiencing is the best therapy.
My almost 12 year old did the same thing. At 10 she was in crisis almost because she didn’t want to be a boy or a girl. And after some drama I told her that, I didn’t care what she was as long as she is not an a-hole. And that was the end of that conversation. 2 years later. She is definitely a girl, sometimes a a-hole. I love her so much.
That sounds like the way I talk to my kids. You are who you are. You don’t get to choose if you’re a boy or a girl. But you do get to choose to be in a-hole or not to be in a-hole.
Your comment sounds so much like P!NK, her advice to Willow was along the lines of “you can be whatever you want to be, just don’t be a dick”… sage (pardon the pun) advice to live by, I think!
😂😂😂
I remember having my son when Rosie adopted Parker. Listening to Rosie talking about Parker being 27 hit me because my son died at 20 in 2016. I have just one surviving son and wish so much that I had at least 3 kids so that my son (now 25, was 18 when his brother died) didn't feel so alone. I had a heart attack at 33. My sons were 3 & 5 at the time, and they are the reason I chose to come back. Mayim, you did a great job coming up with great questions.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
I’m so very sorry for your loss! I too, lost my son when he was 20(today would’ve actually been his 23rd birthday) my thoughts and prayers go out to you! It’s a pain that I wish no one has to endure♥️❤️♥️
Hello dear
How are you
Sending love to you all
So sorry 😢 ❤
The best episode I’ve watched so far…love the sincerity and intelligence emanating from both these women ❤️
Love Rosie. Such a captivating speaker with a tremendous heart
Rosie is soooo relatable for us over 40 moms just trying to keep up...❤❤❤
I watched Rosie’s talk show every afternoon. She was so much fun to watch interact with her guests.
I’ve always loved Rosie O’Donnell. Thanks Mayim.🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟❤️👍
ALL RESPECT! Rosie has spoken! Thank you for helping us find the voice of women! And all humans!! Admiration!! bravo!
Fabulous interview with Rosie O’Donnell. I’m an adoptive parent of two children and I so relate to Rosie’s journey with her children. I love her analogy of planting seeds, and you never know what you’re going to get, very true in my life.
Yes, the garden analogy and the definition of nurses, who’s job it is is to love people back to life… an incredible wordsmith and an incredible, inspiring woman!
I remember watching and loving Rosie’s daytime show. She’s been through so much. She’s speaks so eloquently which surprised me. Mayim I can tell how empathetic you are and you can feel what your guests are feeling. That has to be exhausting. Teachers can make a huge difference in people’s lives. What a fantastic teacher to have taken Rosie on. I did not know anything about adoption trauma. It makes so much sense though. The conversation with her daughter and her birth mom wow how sweet totally brought a tear to my eye. As a parent You are always connected by that string. My kids are 23 20 and 15 and that string gets longer and stronger. I remember hearing that comment being said about your divorce - I was deeply hurt for you and as a woman and your fan I was so mad ! women should be picking each other up not tearing each other down. I didn’t parent as you did and I am divorced and was getting divorced in 2012 as well and it made me feel like what did I do to deserve this? That comment hurt so many more than you and it should never have happened. Look at you now though that hateful comment didn’t stop you from being so genuine and look how great you co parent and how awesome your boys are! Keep being awesome you
@Mayim Bialek this is why my little 1st and 2nd graders they heal me. As a woman who had a partial hysterectomy before I was emotionally and mentally ready. I found healing in giving back and working with kids with autism and behavioral issues. Rosie touched my soul. Bc if I could afford it I would love to adopt a child in her late 40s. So inspired!! Thank you Rosie and Mayim.
GREAT INTERVIEW!! So mature, calm and deep! Thank you both!!
No words... love, love, love this. Two brilliant women who should be running this country! ❤👏💪👏❤
Two brilliant women sharing life experiences! I’ve ALWAYS loved these women. Now I know why!💗💗💗💗💗
This, this and this! 🫶🏽🫶🏽
The last 2 years of my mother’s life, she was bedridden. I was 22-24 years, a recent college graduate, working full time and going to grad school at night. I would spend my lunch hour for those 2 years, driving 20 minutes each way to swap VHS tapes, and setting up recordings for the Rosie O’Donnell show, because sleeping thru them upset her. Ro brought so much joy to my mother ❤❤
I need another episode with Rosie and Mayim! I could listen to them talk all day.
I’m only 2/3 the way through, but I think this might be my most favorite of breakdowns. Rosie is an amazing storyteller, and the conversation between Mayim and Rosie feels so authentic. Love both these ladies and appreciate them sharing their stories and talents with the world. 💛
Such a wonderful, touching and loving episode! ❤️❤️ I loved it immensely and I’m so grateful to all of you for sharing it with us.
Wow… just wow!!! 😍🥰❤️
What a wonderful and loving episode. Always admired and enjoyed Rosie, today that grew tenfold. Mayim, thank you for this gift ❣! Thank you Rosie for the gift of you ❤!
Couldn’t agree more, priceless, thank-you!
Such a fantastic interview! Rosie is in a class all of her own! Such a warm and beautiful person! ❤
I absolutely loved this episode. Rosie is such a staple in all our lives. Definitely have her back❤❤❤
This was one of the best interviews I've ever watched. It seemed to go by in no time at all and left me wishing it could've lasted even longer. Nothing but love to both of you wonderfully talented, intelligent and compassionate women.
The story about the teachers pulling together to help her family, really touching.
I didn't expect this but I cried throughout this whole podcast. Thank you for having Rosie on. I really got touched by the things she's had to go through and even still with Chelsea. You're surpringly endearing Mayim! Affected me to the core! So glad I subscribed.
Hello Lia
How are you
Love how they discuss adoption. I was adopted 60 years ago - totally closed, no "when the kid turns 18" provision. I appreciated the no contact. I was 100% part of my adoptive family. (Found some birth relatives later. Not traumatic.) Also liked Rosie's comments re: gender issues. We think/speak from the same age space. Great interview all around.
What a gift to find this interview. Such smart, articulate and caring women. There are good people trying to contribute to a better world.
part of the 'woke' brigade
Absolutely… what an accidental delight! Two incredible women, so different, yet so much in common… thanks Rosie, thanks Mayim, you’ve made my day!
My favorite so far Mayim. 63 year old feminist here(in very conservative Western Kentuucky). God bless you both for saying the things the mainstream won't have real conversations about. I am a single mother of 2. My son will be 39 this month, my daughter will be 25 next month. He slept with me until he was 8. She slept with me until she was 11. It was one of the best parenting decisions I made. I didn't do everything right, but they know I am always here. Ro is phenomenal.
@Sharon Smith I have two boys 5 and 1 our 5 yr old still sleeps with me and I love it but boy ppl have big big opinions on it, I’m in Texas so I hear ya! Ty for this post it made me smile 😊
I always feel like you’re genuine and authentic when you’re interacting with your guests but this one left me feeling overwhelmingly full of love and satisfaction. You and Rosie flowed so amazing together on the hardest topics to speak about. This feels like a real and personal bond btwn you two.
The perfect making for future podcasts together 🤞🏼🤞🏼This is def 1 of my top 3 favorite podcast episodes youve ever done, mayim ❤️💛💚
GREAT EPISODE!!! Rosie has to come back and do a part 2! I feel like there is so much more that could have been discussed between you two...Much love to you and your family Mayim!
I haven't even listened yet and am excited. I love love love Rosie O'Donnell. I love her frankness and can't wait for this one . . .
Love these two. Plain and simply saying it like it is without excuses.
Hello beautiful
How are you
Have always loved Rosie's ability to share honestly & encourage others to feel safe to speak up as well ❤️
Plus, she's hilarious!
I’ve loved Rosie since Star Search too. Thanks for having her on. Great conversation.
Hello Amy
How are you
I have been a fan of Rosie O'Donnell since I was a kid and would come home from school and watch her talk show. So getting to watch her sit and talk so candidly about her life and her childhood was fascinating. And absolutely zero shade to Jonathan, but I loved this episode without him! It felt so personal, the two of you just sitting and chatting and talking about the important things. It felt... less chaotic? I don't mean that in a bad way, not saying the pod is usually chaotic... just that this felt really intimate and more like a conversation between friends. I enjoyed that! Thanks for doing what you do!
Hello Emily
How are you
I agree with this Mayim. Best podcast I've heard with a woman so far. Maybe bring J in when interviewing men. It's not bad with him. It just changes the flavor of you and one on one conversation. Thanks for bringing in Rosie! Wow!
Mayim is great and she really interviews so well~ one of my favorite podcasts.
Rosie looks great! I miss seeing her in movies, her role in League was incredible, and we need to see her back in movies again. She's a wonderful woman in every respect.
Great interview. Rosie is brave to share the details of her life.
It is painful. Hard so yes I am sure she may not have wanted to do it.
two brilliant brains sharing meaningful insights and information with us. thanks you two.
I could listen to Rosie forever.
What a terrific combination of minds. Gratitudes to Rosie for all she's done for the underdog all these years.
Hello Anne
How are you
This episode was one of my favs and I have several favs, but listening to the both of your heartfelt emotions of being a mom & childhood traumas, mental conditions and so forth, really hit hard with me, it made me cry when y'all cried! I am such a fan of both of you and I admire and respect what your thoughts on difficult topics are and that you're blunt with your thoughts and feelings, as am I, and I've always felt left out by many for telling truths and speaking my mind by not sugar coating stuff as our older generations taught us to do. Thank you for this awesome podcast. I learn something new every time I watch! Hugs & positive thoughts and blessings to you all!! ❤✝️⚘️
G-d bless the both of you; Ms. O'Donnell for her honesty, courage, tenacity and open-heartedness, and you, Ms. Bialik, for the empathy, compassion and intelligence you brought to this interview. Thanks for sharing of yourselves in this way - very moving.
I live (and spread) what Rosie said yrs ago on her show…..”Have a little, give a little-have a lot, give a lot.” Rosie said that, I DO that & I preach. Thanks Ro
💔This really hit home. Always loved Rosie, but wow, yes, I'd say the main lesson from this is ALWAYS "ROCK THE BOAT"!!! Thank you, Rosie for all the honest sharing, you are wonderful & so loved!!!👏🏼💯💖🤟🏼✌🏼
I truly love Rosie, loved her on the view, love her talk show, love how she speaks out about what is important to her, just love what a beautiful person she is inside and out, always have 💜I have so much respect for her.
Hello Diane
How are you
Enjoyed the podcast. I would definitely watch a show starring both of you.
I had not much of an idea about Rosie's childhood and loss and strength. I am moved to tears really. It's so easy to make judgements about famous people, or just only see them in a 2D way and I really appreciate and am grateful for this interview and all the real-real, it really inspires me to aspire to be more loving toward other humans.
LOVE to hear this!!! 🙌🧠🫶
@@MayimBialik And I failed to say how much I enjoyed your input and your story too Mayim. Thank you for the great and honest content. And I think I heard you say Rosie also has a podcast, so I will look for that too. And I think your intro is funny, on the "breakdown"!
Rosie is a national treasure!
These are two of the most quality women you will ever encounter. Absolute authenticity and brilliance and hearts of gold. The way humans should be! So thankful we have women like this raising children♥️♥️♥️
seriously, didn't Rosie have serious problems with one of those ungrateful daughters she adopted, instead of the child being appreciative that a star adopts her, she set out to destroy rosie, are you forgetting it was the news, did you miss it or just saying something to hear yourself. Rosie don't really get along with the women on the view, pacifically, the white woman, name I'm forgetting, she was hated by bill O'Reilly and from this podcast she's a republican, why are you lying, you can speak the truth. Rosie had issues with other tv celebrities. The End
@@d.d.p.parker3671 It almost sounds like you are trying to push a hateful political rant on a comment that had nothing to do with it. Who cares if Rosie doesn’t get along with all the “stars” as you say? Do You know somebody who gets along and agrees with everybody they’ve ever met? I don’t 🤷♀️ Just because she is famous doesn’t mean she has to pretend to be best friends with everyone. Your comment is weird.
I agree, they are both great women! 😊 ❤
Shrek is not a quality woman
God bless trump
Seeing Rosie O’Donnell made me think of a totally random Rosie O’Donnell story from when I was in my late teens or early 20s.… Back when Rosie O’Donald had her own daytime talk show my mother sent in for and received tickets for it. At some point during or after the show, Rosie did a question and answer period. My mother loves jewelry and even designs and makes some of her own jewelry. It is because of this love of jewelry that she noticed and loved the earrings that Rosie was wearing and my mother simply complimented her on how beautiful the earrings were during that question and answer time. Rosie, of course, said thank you and then walked up to where my mother was sitting, took the earrings out of her ears, and gave them to my mother as a souvenir. To this day, my mother keeps them in their own special case and will only wear them herself on very special occasions.
I fucking LOVE Rosie! Are used to race home from school to watch her show. I loved her on The View and on Curb your Enthusiasm. And I thought her special was great and all women should watch!
How much I can empathize with Rosie!! How tragic is when someone you love dies a significant day for you. My brother committed suicide on my birthday few years ago. My birthdays have never been the same from that day to me. As must be St. Patrick’s Day for Rosie. Even more loosing a mom being a kid. And how painful memories gives me when she explained the suicide of her ex-wife. That phone call was the one I received. The day my phone rang a lot with b/day wishes..
Said that, how I love you both being so down to earth and natural look amazing women! BRAVO! 🌹👏🏻
What do you have to say about the way she treated her daughter

Thank you for actually saying the word suicide. I know it can get your demonetize on TH-cam but it is a subject and it is something that we need to talk about. Thank you both for addressing it.
Yes @Cynthia Ejiogu I agree the word needs to be heard and said
I love that intro … I gave birth to my oldest son with Rosie’s Show in the background. She is an entertainer and I like her. It’s almost like she arrived too early and weren’t ready for her and they bullied her. I think she is rather pleasant and I enjoy her.💝💖
Yeah she did arrive to early
Two of my favorite people in one podcast. Strong women, strong opinions and do not apologize for it. Love it.
This interview is everything! Omg!!! I laugh, I cried, I agreed and disagreed... So deep, complex, humane! Thank you so much for sharing this content with us and Much much much much love to you both! Thank you for existing!! Thanks Jonathan for editing heheh
This was so touching and funny.
Rosie is an amazing person. I will never for get the day i met her at the book signing for her childrens craft book. She was walking in and she stopped next to me and said hi! I think i know you! I said hello but this is the first time ive met you. She starts to walk away saying nope i know you. I went up to have her sign my book and we chatted. She still said i know i know you from some where.I got my picture taken with her. It was a fun day.
She was a abuseive mom

Hello Julia
How are you
This is a great interview. I am also 61 and I feel very much like Rosie does.
Oh my goodness….love Rosie and so appreciate her openness and honesty! This was an absolutely outstanding interview.
Totally agree, open and honest, yet still retaining the privacy and dignity of her children. Thanks.
Rosie's Irish Catholic mum passing away on St Patrick's Day is proof of active divine poeticism and storytelling.
And that nurse was an angel of God.
What a delightful and profoundly open and intelligent conversation. Thank You Ladies
This was so refreshingly relatable. Thank you both.
Great episode… Fantastic to see how Ro has evolved & changed over the years… Fascinating human being & Artist!
Since I was a little girl, I loved Rosie. Now, I know why... she is just wonderful! A true being of light! ❤
I think Rosie O’Donnell is the most wonderful woman ever! She is so fantastic.
What a fantastic interview/discussion. I have been a fan of both of you forever. It was encouraging to see how Rosie has dealt with so many of the hardships in her life.I always thought her experiences at The View brought her only negative things in her life. She tried to bring truth, and I think so many were either not ready or unable to handle that truth, so they lashed out. Much of what "got her in trouble" proved to be absolutely the truth. And it was even there that the twice impeached ex President began his vitriolic "feud" with her that ultimately became him bashing her at every opportunity, long after she had tried to move on from it. Thanks for such a sweet interview between 2 amazing women! And I loved the 2 most important things we need to address (Human Rights and Racism)... I would add "money in politics", because that allows the sociopathic corporations to dictate policy.. never a smart thing.
One of your very best segments! At first glance it didn’t sound appealing and I wasn’t interested however I went ahead and started the podcast while I did some tidying up, then found myself sitting on the bed mesmerized with the conversation. Rosie is a tremendously insightful woman. Thank you both!
This is so beautiful. I love the empowerment and support these two give each other.
This was one of the most profound episodes and I've watched most of yours. I always love them, but Rosie hit me everywhere our family lives. I just love how she articulated so much of what we have lived through. I was adopted, I adopted 2 older kids which one was also drawn to her biological family and has had nothing but hardship. I ended up adopting her three kids. They are all autistic and I am as well. They have all been exposed to drugs. Our 8-year-old was exposed to meth and had surgeries because of it. She battles toxic brain and our 10-yr-old has a genetic disorder which has caused him to be lower functioning. I so appreciate you and your story. thank you so much for telling it!! Also, My dad died when I was 11 and I lived in such a toxic house that I understood the figuring it out as a kid. You just had to figure it out and you did and you still are no matter what is dealt you! thanks again for this episode!
OMG I couldn't have loved this any more 🥰 Love Rosie and always have having been compared to her a lot in my life. Had to share his everywhere because the messages in this interview needed to be shouted to a larger audience. 😍

@@nataliestephens9909❤😂 glad u called out the guy being creepy, posting inane “hi (insert woman’s name), how are you?” comments to women in the chat, again and again. Like, dude, give it a REST already. Go be sleazy and creepy somewhere else.
This was such an amazing interview and gave me a new found admiration for her. It is incredible of how the media tried to paint in the early days 😞 We are fortunate to have her for a voice for women!!
So good to see her doing well. She's well spoken, always hilarious, and I'm still a fan! This was wonderful.
Two beautiful authentic human beings. So refreshing. Thank you
Thank you for this. I've been watching since the beginning but this episode was special ❤
Loved Rosie in "Riding The Bus With My Sister", and her TV talk show. The adoption process is another broken system that we have to change for the future. Love does make a family, and every child deserves their forever family without the hardship of judgemental red tape on the part of the social system.

I have nothing NOTHING but LOVE, RESPECT & GRATITUDE for Rosie ❤She is such a bad ass SHERO! I love both these women. They bring so much joy into peoples day! God Bless both of these fine women!
I've always LOVED Rosie O Donnell! You forgot to mention her talk show in the opening introduction. That show was very entertaining!
