Rosie O'Donnell and wife Michelle
Rounds have spit.
In a statement given to
Variety,
O'Donnell's publicist, Cindi Berger, said that the women parted ways
in November.
“I can confirm that Rosie and her
wife Michelle split in November,” Berger said.
Berger added that O'Donnell will leave
The View for a second time to concentrate on her family.
“Rosie has teens and an infant at
home that need her attention,” Berger said. “This has been a very
stressful situation. She is putting her personal health and family
first. ABC has been wonderfully understanding and supportive of her
personal decision to leave The View. Next week will be her
last.”
ABC responded in a statement: “Rosie
is an immensely talented star who comes in each and every morning
brimming with ideas, excitement and passion for the show. When she
told us she wanted to exit The View, we respected and
understood her desire to put her well-being and her family first.
We're delighted she's still part of the ABC family with upcoming
guest appearances on The Fosters, and we know she'll return to
The View often with her unique point of view and updates on
her work and her family.”
In January 2013, O'Donnell and Rounds
adopted daughter Dakota, roughly six months after they exchanged vows
in New York.
O'Donnell has 4 children from a
previous relationship.
