Only two weeks into the new season of “The View,” co-hosts Rosie O’Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg tore into each other during a commercial break – in front of a stunned studio audience.
According to MailOnline, the incident happened during a recent taping as the show’s co-hosts were discussing a “Hot Topic” on spanking your children. O’Donnell ultimately became upset with Goldberg when she cut her off while she was speaking on the issue.
O’Donnell wasn’t wearing a earpiece to stay in contact with producers while the live show is airing, so she had no clue it was time to stop talking.
Still, after Goldberg cut her off, O’Donnell had a fit during the break, telling Goldberg, “You hurt my feelings.”
“I’m very upset by it,” she added.
Whoopi tried to calm O’Donnell, noting:
“This isn’t the time for this, Rosie.”
But O’Donnell wouldn’t drop the subject.
“It makes me upset and I just don’t want to have to go through this,” she complained.
Goldberg, clearly annoyed, shot back: “I said this was not the time, Rosie.”
Not fazed, O’Donnell continued to pop off until Goldberg snapped,
“F-ck it, I told you to leave it alone and you just don’t want to listen. If you want to go there, Rosie, I will, damn it. I’m really sick of your sh-t !”
Media sources acknowledged the silence of the crowd as rookie “View” co-host Rosie Perez cut through the tension with humor.
“Oh s*it, Twitter is going to be off the hook now,” she said as producers hurried over to prep the ladies on their next segment and kept things moving as if nothing happened when they got back on the air.
