Rosie O’Donnell‘s publicist doesn’t play around!
With the news of Rosie and Barbara Walters taking stabs at each other publicly, everyone is dying to ask RoRo about the rift.
So, during a scheduled interview with West Palm Beach’s WPTV, Rosie was to be on via satellite Monday morning to talk about her new variety show.
O’Donnell’s publicity team wanted the reporters to only ask about the variety show. However, when the reporters asked Rosie before the interview if they could talk about it, Rosie agreed.
The reporter told Rosie, “How about if I do it this way: How about we start off talking about the show and then we touch on that. I don’t want to beat a dead horse.”
Rosie agreed, but that didn’t still well with her publicist. That’s when suddenly the audio was cut off from the satellite feed. Then just a few seconds later Rosie image disappeared and was replaced by color bars.
Her PR team ended the interview before it even started!
How lame.
