Rosie O'Donnell announced her departure from The View on Friday, citing the demise of her marriage to Michelle Rounds as the main cause.
Today she swore that she will return, but not as a host.
Rosie is as famous for controversy as any other talk show personality out there. She's an outspoken advocate for LGBT rights, who's never shied away from a fight.
But it wasn't her opinions that forced Rosie from the spotlight this time, it was the end of her marriage.
Nevertheless, Rosie is resilient. She's strong. She's determined.
And she's vowed to return, holding her daughter Dakota in her arms, saying "I'll come back and do an occasional crafting segment because I have a hot glue gun and I will travel."
"Thank you. It's been really fun."
It's not for us to decide why or what the ultimate reasons for Rosie's departure are, but speculation is fun.
Especially since Rosie and Michelle broke up in November, it's easy to think that something else may have contributed to the reasons why Rosie is leaving the show now.
Insiders at the View said back in December that Rosie is tough to deal with.
Her first stint on the show only lasted a season before she was asked to leave, and she apparently hasn't gotten any easier to get along with back stage.
She is one of the View's most notable hosts, though, even though she's only been a part of the show for less than two full seasons. How she'll figure in it's future will be an interesting drama to watch unfold.
