Rosie O'Donnell Unloads on Barbara Walters Backstage: 'Bleep Liar'

The View's shock jock Rosie O'Donnell and Barbara Walters were lovey dovey on camera on Monday when the cameras were rolling but a report claims that before the on-air tag team by Rosie and Babs on Donald Trump, Rosie unloaded on Walters calling her a bleeping liar.

Rosie O'Donnell Unloads on Barbara Walters Backstage: 'Bleep Liar'

The round mound of put down set the wheels in motion for what is now a far too long brawl by ripping into Trump as a 'snake-oil' salesman mocking Miss USA Tara Conner and slamming Trump as a bankrupt adulterer.

Donald Trump answered Rosie with multiple interviews and multiple put downs, dubbing Rosie as a big fat liar, a failure and a woman that would not be able to hold on to her lesbian lover Kelli Carpenter if Trump decided to send someone down to take her away.  O'Donnell fired back calling Trump a 'pimp.'

As all of this built up, it appears Rosie was steaming.  According to a report in the New York Post, she blames Babs for not stopping the story.  In what sounds like a laughable exchange, the fight started around 8:30 a.m. when Walters, back from a two-week vacation, walked into the hair and makeup room at ABC studios and tried to hug O'Donnell, whom she hired onto the popular show.

According to spies, O'Donnell recoiled from Walters' touch and yelled, "You kept me in the newspapers this whole time!"  The portly comic then called Walters "a [bleeping] liar."

Page Six then reports that Both "View" producer Bill Geddie and Walters tried to calm O'Donnell. Walters told her, "I did everything I could to squash the story" - prompting Rosie to scream, "You didn't call me for 10 goddamn days, and you didn't tell me what you were going to say on television!"

The report from the Post continues:  After O'Donnell's outburst at Walters yesterday, Geddie jumped in and told her, "You've crossed the line." O'Donnell retorted, "Cameras are now outside of my house where my wife and kids are." She turned to Walters and said, "You went all around this and never called [Trump] a liar. You never said, 'Donald is lying.' You never called him a liar."

When Walters tried to defend herself, O'Donnell erupted, "Are you looking me in the face and denying you didn't tell him you didn't say this? You're a [bleeping] liar."

Rosie then went on camera and again mocked Trump and tried to garner sympathy by dragging her kids into the fight.  For someone that wants this mess over, that was the wrong thing to do.

Cue the rep™:  Cindi Berger, a rep for both Walters and O'Donnell said, "Whatever happened in the hair and makeup room was hardly a squabble. It's business as usual, everyone has moved on."
