Rosie O’Donnell has lashed out at Jesse Watters after her heated confrontation with the Fox crew. The popular comedian and talk show host is currently gearing up for her return to ABC’s long-running show after a decade.
In a recent TikTok post, Rosie O’Donnell blasted the Fox News host after claiming that his crew confronted her outside of her Off-Broadway show at the Daryl Roth Theatre.
@rosie Today a fox crew was waiting for me to exit the car – they ran in mass screaming JESSE WATTERS WANTS TO TALK TO U – so what ? – I have no desire to talk to him or fox (we lie to Americans) “news” – so say what u need and go the fuck away – —— Watters faced intense blowback for a comment on The Five suggesting Vice President Kamala Harris would get "paralyzed in the situation room while the generals have their way with her." He later stated his remarks were misconstrued and not intended to be sexual. What woman would want to talk to him besides maga cult ladies ?

O’Donnell said, “Today a Fox crew was waiting for me to exit the car – they ran in mass screaming JESSE WATTERS WANTS TO TALK TO YOU – so what? – I have no desire to talk to him or Fox (we lie to Americans) ‘News’ – so say what you need and go the f— away.”
The comedian also told Watters that “If you wanna interview me, call my publicist, that’s how it works, don’t you know that yet? I’m not afraid of you, I just have no interest in you in any capacity.”
Rosie O’Donnell also took aim at Jesse Watters’ past comments about Kamala Harris
Rosie O’Donnell continued to take shots at the Fox News host for his controversial comments in the past regarding former Vice President Kamala Harris. “What woman would want to talk to him besides MAGA cult ladies?”, she said in her post.
Back in 2024, Jesse Watters had made some comments on Harris ahead of the presidential election. He said, as TV Insider reported, she would get “paralyzed in the Situation Room while the generals have their way with her.” Later, however, he defended himself, saying that his words were understood wrongly.
As for O’Donnell, she’s making headlines lately for her comeback in The View. She was a former host on the talk show that began in 1997. “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think, for the 30th season,” she said. “I will go on the 30th anniversary next season.”
O’Donnell is also set to co-host Jimmy Kimmel Live! this month.
