Speculation that Rosie O'Donnell Will Be Fired from 'The View' Intensifies

We have already told you guys that there are major problems going on over at ABC's The View, and while a lot of finger-pointing is going on, Rosie O'Donnell is inevitably in the middle of it all. Everything seems to be an issue for the star, from the topics that the ladies discuss during the show to the fact that Whoopi Goldberg has been cast as the discussion leader. After just a few months back at the round table, it seems O'Donnell cannot get out of there fast enough and her days are already rumored to be numbered.

According to a well-placed source, TMZ is reporting that O'Donnell has become impossible to work with. Aside from being ticked off that Goldberg is in control of the daily discussion, she has made no friends within the production crew because of her rude behavior. Supposedly, people connected to the show have attempted to talk things out with O'Donnell, but that has gotten them nowhere. She is reportedly depressed, leaving some to wonder if she will even bother to finish out the entire season.

Some of the conflict between O'Donnell and Goldberg has stemmed from the fact that Goldberg has purposely avoided discussion of controversial topics, such as the rape allegations against Bill Cosby. Since The View is now technically a part of ABC News, then there is an expectation that such headline-grabbing subjects would be fair game, but the more O'Donnell pushes for that, the faster Goldberg seems to dismiss her thoughts.

There is clearly no love lost between these two, and ironically O'Donnell is pushing for topics that would probably get the show better ratings than the mediocre ones that it is floundering with.

Sources say O'Donnell is actually being blamed for the dip in ratings. Do you think she will walk off stage again and quit on camera, or will she stick it out until the end of the season? Who would you like to see replace her if she is let go? Should O'Donnell have left the show to begin with? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section below.
