Rosie O'Donnell Defends Chris Brown's Chair-Throwing GMA Incident, Says She Wanted To Do The Same At The View!
Posted on Mon Apr 4, 2011 12:12 PM PDT

Chris Brown has found an unlikely defender for his GMA outburst in former View co-host Rosie O'Donnell.
On her Sirius radio show, Rosie revealed that she understood Brown's chair-throwing antics after GMA host Robin Roberts brought up the Rihanna incident ... because she often felt like doing the same on The View.
"Part of me wanted to take a chair and throw it through the window at The View after all that happened," Rosie said, referencing her infamous fight with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck which eventually led her to quit the chat show.
"I don't know why this kid seems to be held to a different standard than anybody else," O'Donnell said, forgetting that celebrities are routinely questioned about regrettable things they may have done in the past whether their publicist forbids it or not.
"I felt mildly angry at Robin Roberts," she continued. "I felt like writing her and going: 'Can you take a look at this again and see if maybe you find -- in any way -- your responsibility in this?'"
Read what else Rosie had to say about her ex-employers ... after the jump.
She called The View office a "rat-infested cellar" and a prison!

Gee, Rosie, maybe you're sympathetic because bad tempered people often stick together? Mel, Charlie, Sean Penn, Chris Brown...and now you.
There's a surprise...not.
HORRIBLE WOMAN
Eating smegma makes people do crazy things.
To wit: Lindsay
Exactly Chris has not hit another woman since and
look Rihanna has done better
with her career better than
ever.. It is time to stop with
him and he is not Mel Charlie
or The Rest.. He is not a
addict like Mel and Charlie..
Nor has he done anything wrong
a lot of business men get angry too and throw things..
You people talk about Bullying why not start by letting it go.. and Let him live a normal life.. I am personally tired of people saying bullying what is the
difference between what you
say about Chris and what you
say about other people.. Who
has paid for their crime..and
has not hurt Rihanna she lifted the restraining order on him.. And they have not spoken or been to court either. So shut up Charlie and
Mel have been to court several
times Chris Brown once. It is
over so let it go.. for good.
fugly slob and a punk
people really wanna know their inner feelings and thoughts about the situation you know on a really deep level, thats why its still as popular as the day she got hit ...jk
*** Like what Rosie O'Donnell says matters? Rose O'Donnell is documented to be one of THE most difficult persons to be around, period! She is the definition of dysfunctional! Stress eat another bagle, Rosie! ***
there is no reason to blame another person for this low class, woman beater, angry individual, and for Rosie to be excusing his behavior it is just pathetic... I can't believe why this woman was given a TV Show again?? oh wait, because she is a lesbian....
3:34 It's people like YOU that are to blame for what people like Chris Brown do.
It's because of your mentality that we need so many shelters for abused women.
You are an ignorant fool.
Spoken like the angry man she/he is.
3:34 I really hope you are right. But I suspect this is not the last we hear of Chris Brown's violent against a woman or furniture....
I always knew Rosie was hard-headed and ignorant in her thinking, but this really takes the cake.
Rosie should be ashamed of herself for making excuses for this.
I bet it would be a different story if it were her daughter that he beat the crap out of.
5:15 is right.
Hey Rosie - would you let your daughter date Chris Brown if she were old enough?
So 3:34, if a convicted child molester was convicted only once and "paid for their crime" does that mean you want to live next door to them.
If you have a brain in your head, the answer should be "NO." So don't be a hypocrite.
Chris Brown and Rosie O'Donell. The perfect pair.
I'd like to see Chris try to beat her up. Now that would be a fair fight!!!
Anything that comes from her mouth is offensive and not worthy of coverage by any news agency..
Can someone shut that windbag up? I don't see how she's going to be successful on Oprah's network. Rosie's ship has sailed.
That ugly fat dyke needs to shut her mouth
Rosie's a pig! If I looked like her I'd be angry too.
But, you didn't throw a chair Rosie. I watched Chris Brown's interview w/Robin and it was obvious to me that she knew he was extremely uncomfortable and continued to provoke him. But, he allowed himself to be provoked. Most of the public saw that. Chris needs to learn to trust. A bad interviewer will get what they deserve-no chairs needed.
I definitely agree with Rosie, Damn! there are smart ppl in this world anyway, im proud!

Wow, it's amazing how people find the time to be so critical...so far I have read, the labels " fat" "woman beater" "lesbian" "ugly" "child molester"...seriously....ignorance is bliss....I am sure each and everyone of the people who posted these ignorant comments are god fearing Christians who lives their lives without any sins, drama, or mistakes....everyone is entitled to their opinion...1st ammendment right? but that does not mean their opinion is always right....It's been 2 years...it was between two people (none of the critics or fans) and both have moved on...talent is talent....point blank...and Robin is an example of the media trying sensationalizing drama for ratings...it is what it is....
I HAVEA FAMILY MEMBER JUST LIKE ROSIE......OFF THE WALL. AND "ARIES" SO I STRESS THE SIMILARITIES OF CHRISS AND ROSIE R TRUE. ONLY TIME WILL PUT CHRISS BACK BEATING AROUND THE NEXT WOMAN

Rosie O'Donnell shows no class in her comments about The View. I am probably in the minority. She is my least favorite celebrity and I fail to understand why she is apparently well regarded by many people.
