Rosie O’Donnell revealed why she’s not friends with Ellen DeGeneres.

She said that Ellen pulled a Mariah Carey on her, telling Larry, “‘I don’t know Rosie. We’re not friends.'”

That was a surprise because she and Ellen had, in fact, met before. Ellen had even been on The Rosie O’Donnell Show, where she made a memorable joke about being “Lebanese” as code for “lesbian” before she came out.

Though she was later invited to appear on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, it ultimately didn’t work out. Rosie said she tried to bring someone with her in an attempt to make it “a little less awkward,” but the offer was refused.

Ellen’s show has since ended after almost 20 years on the air.

Oh well.
