Chatting with Andy Cohen on Watch What Occurs Dwell, she attributed it to a remark Ellen allegedly made about her some years in the past.
“We had a little bit little bit of a bizarre factor,” Rosie mentioned of their relationship. “After my present went off the air, and hers was approaching the air, Larry King was on with Ellen and he mentioned, ‘No matter occurred to Rosie O’Donnell? Her present went down the tubes. She got here out as a lesbian and disappeared.'”
She mentioned that Ellen pulled a Mariah Carey on her, telling Larry, “‘I do not know Rosie. We’re not mates.'”
That was a shock as a result of she and Ellen had, in reality, met earlier than. Ellen had even been on The Rosie O’Donnell Present, the place she made a memorable joke about being “Lebanese” as code for “lesbian” earlier than she got here out.

Although she was later invited to look on The Ellen DeGeneres Present, it in the end did not work out. Rosie mentioned she had tried to deliver somebody together with her in an try to make it “rather less awkward,” however the supply was refused.
