It’s official: Rosie O’Donnell will leave The View in mid-June. ABC and Rosie couldn’t come to an agreement over her contract, and because of this, the network will be losing their cash-cow.

Rosie O’Donnell said: “Breaking News. I’ve decided we couldn’t come to terms with my deal.” Rosie wanted one year and ABC wanted three years. She says she’ll be on frequently next season but won’t be a regular.

Barbara said she’s sad and that they have not thought of a replacement. TMZ has learned the word is already out in Hollywood to find one.

Joy said the one who’s really sad is Donald Trump, adding “How is he going to resuscitate ‘The Apprentice’ now?”

Since Rosie came onboard, the chat show’s ratings went through the roof. The network is allegedly devastated they couldn’t convince Rosie to stay.
