In it, he wrote that she’d called him ‘to apologize for my behavior.’
I was like, ‘Whoa.’
We got into an argument in the makeup room that day,” O’Donnell told the outlet.
Do you consider him your real friend, Barbara?
I thought we had something real and something different than the way you’ve been treating me.'"
“I said something about her daughter, which I shouldn’t have said.
And we were live in 20 minutes.
‘I don’t know what kind of relationship you have with your kid.’
I definitely think that I have a kind of mother thing for older women.
Not in a romantic way, but in a maternal guidance way.
When I feel hurt by them, it feels much larger in the moment.”
She later rejoined the program from 2014-2015, but has since spoken out about the show on several occasions.
It was not something I’d ever do again,“she said in an April interviewon theNow What?
