Oprah Rosie Gay Feud
Oprah Rosie Gay Feud – Oprah and Rosie O’Donnell are feuding because Rosie keeps calling Oprah gay for her close relationship with Gayle King.
The Oprah Rosie feud started because the talk-show queen is upset with O’Donnell after the comedian recently told Howard Stern that Winfrey and BFF Gayle King “are the emotional equivalent of” a gay couple—especially since this isn’t the first time Rosie’s made the claim.
While promoting her new satellite radio show, acid-tongued Rosie happily stoked the embers of speculation on Howard Stern’s syndicated radio show.
“I don’t know that she and Gayle are necessarily doing each other,” Rosie quipped to Stern, “but I think they are the emotional equivalent of….”
“A gay couple,” the shock jock finished.
That was all raucous Rosie needed to shift into high gear.
“When they did that road trip, that’s as gay as it gets,” she responded, “and I don’t mean it to be an insult, either. I’m just saying, listen, if you ask me, that’s the couple.”
After joining “The View” back in 2006, Rosie sparked controversy when she said the behavior of Oprah and her longtime best friend Gayle was “very typical of gay relationships.”
When Oprah learned O’Donnell was again playing the gay card, she became enraged and sent a warning message to Rosie.
“She is making it very clear to her not to use her to promote her new radio show – and further, never again does she want to hear that Rosie is raising the gay thing about her and Gayle.
“Oprah has gone out of her way to say repeatedly that they are just friends and are not gay.”
And that’s the latest on the Oprah Rosie Gay Feud.
