If there one thing everyone can agree on about Rosie O’Donnell it’s this: the woman is candid!Promoting the heck out of her upcoming HBO special "A Family is a Family is a Family," Rosie was on The Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday speaking about the topics we all want to know about including her split from Kelli Carpenter, pictured with Rosie and their four kids last week at the documentary’s premiere.
Here are some highlights:
On her split with Kelli Carpenter: “I think that what you want at 30 … is very different than what you want when you’re 40. A lot of things sort of changed and shifted. … [Post-split Rosie] wanted her in the same town. she was like, ‘I don’t know how good that’s gonna be for me.’ Like, what are you saying? You can’t exist – okay. Calm down. Breathe. Everything’s okay. … Although we co-parent, we share equal time but are never really without them. Some are here. And that’s the way we did it. It’s free-flowing, and we do nights together, too.”
“To be held up as some sort of role model for the gay community, I felt some sort of pressure. … Sometimes divorce happens. … It was a difficult thing to get through. It was the most difficult thing in my life.”
New love Tracy Kachtick-Anders: who has six children of her own. “”So she got out of the car in Miami and I was, like, zoinks, you know, because she’s absolutely gorgeous and, I don’t know, I felt like I knew her right away. It was very odd.”
She also says they plan to move in together in the near future and combine their families.
On a backstage blow-up with Barbara Walters: “For me at that moment, if I had been braver, I would have just cried and said you really hurt my feelings. … I think I scared her. I’m 200 pounds, when I stand up and say ‘do you not have a human heart?’ it’s crazy.”
On televised fight with Elisabeth Hasselbeck: She acted “different on TV than in the dressing room. It was a betrayal of my friendship.”
