Rosie Slams "Idol" as Racist, Weightist

Posted Mar 6th 2007 1:20PM by TMZ Staff

Rosie O'Donnell laid a smackdown on "American Idol" this morning from her perch on "The View," saying that "Idol" canned former contestant Frenchie Davis for her breast-baring snapshots, but kept current wannabe Antonella Barba despite hers -- because Davis is black and fat and Barba is, well, not.

"It's weightist and wacist," said Rosie, doing her best Donald Duck impression. Silly wabbit Wosie, ever heard of Wuben Studdard? Fantasia? Babwa wasn't there to comment.

Rosie, never one to hold back her opinions, also took time out during Hot Topics to blast "The Insider" for propagating the saga of 841-pound Renee Williams, who died yesterday from a heart attack.

4. Gawd, Rosie!! SHUT YOUR YAP!! They kept Antonella because, unlike Frenchy, her pictures were not taken to be released on the internet. Frenchie's were taken for a website. PLUS, it is not even 100% that all of the pictures are of her. Rest assured, though, she wont be on for long (her voice sux).

8. Antonella's pictures were private that a "friend" released. Frenchie's job was to pose nude for a website - big difference loud mouth!

9. I agree with Rosie this time. American Idol kicks off a talented singer like Frenchie for one topless photo, and they keep that no talent bimbo Antwatnello Bimbo. That is no justice.
