'The View' Feuds

Elisabeth Hasselbeck vs. Rosie O'Donnell

She Said:"What you did was not defend me. ... I asked you if you believed what the Republican pundits were saying, you said nothing, and that's cowardly."
Feud for Thought: Both Rosie and Elisabeth had spats with each other on the show before but you knew it became a blow out when it went to the spilt screen of the two women. The argument got so nasty at one point that Elisabeth brought Donald Trump's name into the mix.

Donald Trump vs. Rosie O'Donnell

He Said:"Rosie is a loser. Someone has to say something."
Feud for Thought: Schoolyard bullies everywhere have some new vocabulary courtesy of Rosie and Donald. It has been the war of the last words between them, which reads like magnetic poetry. Some words to add to the fridge: fat pig, pathetic, loser, slob, unattractive, comb-over, snake-oil salesman, bankrupt.

Rosie O'Donnell vs. Barbara Walters

She Said:"You didn't call me for 10 days, and you didn't tell me what you were going to say on television!"
Feud for Thought: Even before the "Trumpscapades," Barbara was not happy with Rosie for discussing her fancy lifestyle on the air. Rosie compared Babs' house to a "museum" and said she was not a "normal person." A visibly annoyed Barbara responded, "You make it sound like I'm elite."

Donald Trump vs. Barbara Walters

He Said:"Barbara Walters has taken the low road for the sake of her show, rather than for the sake of her morality."
Feud for Thought: Like all good matriarchs of journalism, you must support your sisters. After leaving Rosie hanging for over a week, Walters sided with her co-host, calling Trump a "sad pathetic man." Trump fired back with a public statement that declared Walters "a (pathetic) puppet" and a "sad figurehead."

Debbie Matenopolous vs. 'The View'

She Said: "Its not called show friends, its called show business."
Feud for Thought: You always remember your first, and Debbie was first to be ousted from 'The View.' Proving the claws do come out, many speculated she was fired because of her ditzy persona. When you're told the show is taking "another direction," that's showbiz talk for "it's me, not you ... OK, maybe it is you."

Star Jones vs. Barbara Walters

She Said:"The show is moving in another direction and I will not be returning as co-host next year."
Feud for Thought: We know what that means. After receiving free wedding gifts and negative attention, Star's contract was not renewed. Feeling betrayed and not one to go quietly, Star announced the news live on the show -- without warning. Walters pulled her off the air the very next day and rescinded the possibility of a dignified departure.

Kathy Griffin vs. Barbara Walters

She Said:"Barbara Walters at 73 can take you down in 24 hours."
Feud for Thought: Kathy Griffin was an unwelcome guest after a conversation she had with Barbara about shotgun weddings ended up on Griffin's DVD, 'Allegedly', and highlighted Walters as a snob. Eventually, Griffin returned to the show, denying there was ever a situation.

Kelly Ripa vs. Rosie O'Donnell

She Said:"I am the only talk show host who has ever interviewed him who didn't question his sexuality. I don't care."
Feud for Thought: Rosie accused Kelly of being homophobic after the Clay Aiken debacle on 'Live.' In turn, Ripa confronted Rosie about the comments, stating Rosie should have been more "responsible" and reminding her that "not everything is homophobic." Rosie apologized and agreed that Kelly was disrespected.

Minority Interest Groups vs. Rosie O'Donnell

She said:"To say 'ching chong' to someone is very offensive. Which I was like, 'Really? I didn't know that.'"
Feud for Thought:
After jumping down Kelly Ripa's throat and accusing her of homophobia, many thought her "ching chong" comments mocking Chinese journalists made her a hypocrite. Rosie angered several minority interest organizations, including New York City councilman John C. Liu as well as the Asian American Journalists Association.

Sandra Bernhard vs. Elisabeth Hasselbeck

She Said:"I have a hard time believing other women don't protect other women's rights and stand behind duplicitous men. [Laura Bush] is heavily medicated."
Feud for Thought: After Sandra made this comment, staunch conservative Elisabeth took the side of the first lady and asked Sandra to stop calling her "honey." The heated discussion got so uncomfortable, Joy Behar temporarily walked off the set.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck vs. 'Law & Order: SVU'

She Said:"Only one person in the whole world has [this name]: me. Maybe there are two others in Germany somewhere."
Feud for Thought:
Elisabeth took issue with the use of the name Elizabeth Hassenback for a character who was raped and killed in an episode of Dick Wolf's 'SVU.' The name was too close for comfort for Hasselbeck who deemed it "socially irresponsible." The producers' response? "Well you can chalk that up to coincidence."

'Meredith Vieira' vs. 'The View'

She Said:"It's not a good time in the history of that show. It's hard to watch. It sort of became a joke."
Feud for Thought: Vieira was quoted in TIME saying she had not watched the show since Star Jones' departure. Causing a small media uproar, she backpedaled, explaining that the comment was taken out of context and that the "joke" was the media coverage, not the show itself.

The Anti-Defamation League vs. Joy Behar

They Said:"Whatever your views on Donald Rumsfeld, the comparison to Hitler was inappropriate and offensive."
Feud for Thought: While discussing a lack of a picture for TIME's "Person of the Year," Joy suggested, "You have to put a Hitler type there, like a Donald Rumsfeld." The ADL, offended by the comment, sent a public letter stating that Joy did a disservice to the memory of those who died in the Holocaust.

PETA vs. Star Jones

They Said:"With the number of dead animals she wore at her wedding, it looked more like a funeral."
Feud for Thought: Star has the distinct honor of taking the top spot on PETA's "Worst Dressed" list four years in a row. PETA and its president, Ingrid Newkirk, hired drag queen Flotilla DeBarge to parody Star in a campaign with the caption "Take it from Star Jones: Fur is a Drag." Star threatened PETA with legal action.

Bill O'Reilly vs. Rosie O'Donnell

He Said:"She has no right to be this irresponsible. ABC has to hold her accountable."
Feud for Thought: This pair will agree to constantly disagree. Most recently, O'Reilly called for ABC to fire Rosie O'Donnell after she theorized that the British orchestrated their sailors' kidnapping in Iran to incite war and stated that the terrorists are not to blame.
