“View” Producer Let Go For Yelling At Rosie O’Donnell In Front Of The Staff
The New York Post is reporting that a producer on “The View” was fired after aggressively yelling at Rosie O’Donnell in front of the entire staff. According to PageSix, the verbal altercation happened weeks ago, some time before Rosie left the talk show to be with her family during her divorce.
A source told the paper that Jennifer Shepard-Brookman was first suspended for going after Rosie and then later fired. Here’s how the source described what happened. “During a production meeting, Jennifer began mumbling behind Rosie, who told her, ‘If you have something to say, say it to my face!’ So Jennifer did — she laced into Rosie, and there was a shouting match. Jennifer was loud, and profoundly and publicly disrespectful to Rosie.”
According to PageSix’s insider, the issue went all the way upstairs at ABC including a report to the human resources department. “You have to be mindful of your role and the pecking order. Producers cannot be publicly disrespectful to the talent, no matter how much you disagree. You have to know your place. It was so shocking, Rosie and other members of staff told the HR department about Jennifer’s behavior — she was suspended and then she was fired.”
A rep for “The View” refused to comment on the story.
