The multi-talented, controversial, 11-time Emmy Award-winning American talk show host, television personality, comedienne, film, television and stage actress, Rosie O'Donnell will no longer be appearing in the ABC talk show, The View. Rosie O'Donnell was granted an early release from her contract, likely due to the latest heated exchange with Elisabeth Hasselbeck on Wednesday.

It ended an interesting eight-month tenure for O'Donnell that lifted the show's ratings but no doubt caused heartburn for show creator Barbara Walters. O'Donnell feuded with Donald Trump and frequently had tense exchanges with the more conservative Hasselbeck.

O'Donnell said last month she would be leaving because she could not agree to a new contract with ABC executives.

The argument with Hasselbeck began over O'Donnell's statement last week about the war

655,000 Iraqi civilians have died. Who are the terrorists?

Critics accused O'Donnell of calling U.S. troops terrorists. She called Hasselbeck "cowardly" for not saying anything in response to the critics. Hasselbeck's reply to that was

Do not call me a coward, because No. 1, I sit here every single day, open my heart and tell people what I believe...

The arguement continued despite failed attempts by their co-hosts to cut to a commercial!
