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.

47. Rosie, you're a moron. Antonella didn't show it all, she has pictures in poor taste, but nothing is showing. Frenchie did. That is the difference Rosie. NOW SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE!

48. Are they homophobic, too, Rosie? It seems whenever someone doesn't meet with your exalted approval, you attack them with every stupid epithet you can think of. You are a tiresome, tiresome creature. BE GONE!

50. I seem to remember Rosie a short while back making a very offensive remark about Chinese people. She has one heck of a nerve calling other people racist when she is one herself. Too many twinkies have fried her already pea sized brain.

51. Rosie, shut your left wing everybody line up with me or we will shout you down mouth. Your poinion is like your a$$. Smelly and just plain wrong. I bet your last chocolate brownie a black female wins this year. Not becouse I am black (I am not) or racist (I am not) becouse they are the best by far singers this year.

54. Rosie is nothing but a fat windbag dyke whose breath smells like a fresh cut turd. This is the only way she can keep her swollen pudgy face in the news. "The view" is scared to can the fat ass because all the other fat rug munchers will quit watching. Eat more pussy and fried chicken Rosie.

56. I like Rosie - I do agree with quite a few of her thoughts... BUT, I feel that she is wrong.

I also feel that most people that feel so much hate for Rosie are hating her because she is not afraid to express her opinions - regardless of whether it might not be the popular opinion -- those haters need to do a little self-reflection
