Rosie O’Donnell is leaving “The View” in June. She said on the show earlier today that she and ABC could not agree on a new contract. She wanted to host for only one more year but ABC wanted her to agree to a three year contract.



Rosie’s salary was $3 million this past season, after she replaced Meredith Vieira, who went on to “The Today Show”. ABC was willing to give her more than that in order to keep her, but Ro didn’t want to lock herself into a three year contract.



Ro leaves “The View” amidst controversy, feuds, and even higher ratings for ABC.

“It just didn’t work, and that’s showbiz. But it’s not sad because I loved it here and I love you guys and I’m not going away.”
