Rosie O'Donnell Highlights Weight‑Loss Drug Benefits and Revisits The View Feud

In a recent interview, Rosie O'Donnell said she began taking the diabetes‑and‑weight‑loss medication Mounjaro three years ago, crediting it with saving her life and helping her lose about 60 pounds. She added that the weight loss left excess facial skin, leading her to undergo a $90,000 facelift.

O'Donnell also reflected on her 1997 on‑air clash with former co‑host Elisabeth Hasselbeck on The View. She described the split‑screen debate over the Iraq War as “explosive” and suggested the segment may have been staged by producers, recalling that “me and Elisabeth Hasselbeck did not have a great ending to our friendship.”
