A Journey of Ups and Downs

Let's talk about Rosie O'Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg. These two powerhouse women have been through a whirlwind of a friendship, filled with its fair share of ups and downs. Remember when they were both cohosts on The View? That was a rocky period for Rosie, but she's opened up about how their relationship has softened since those days on ABC. It's a story of how two strong personalities can navigate the twists and turns of friendship.

Here's Rosie, now 57, spilling the tea on a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. She recalls an unexpected meeting with Whoopi at none other than Megan Mullally's concert at Café Carlyle. Rosie says, "Well, believe it or not, we literally bumped into each other. And guess what? We were actually quite cordial. We said hello!" It's a small but significant moment that hints at a thaw in their relationship.

Respect and Reverence

It wasn't an overnight change for Rosie, who admits it took her a while to warm up to Whoopi, now 63. But despite their past, Rosie acknowledges that there's always been a soft spot in her heart for Whoopi. She explains, "I worked on a project with her for ABC after all the McGillicutty drama. And let me tell you, I will always respect her. She's someone who inspired me in my career, and I want to keep those people in a place of reverence. That's what I'm striving for."
