Rosie O' Donnell Hits Back Against Bully Claims
You had to know Rosie O' Donnell wasn't going to sit back and not say anything about The Globe's recent accusations that she "bullies" her 12-year-old son.
“Kelli, come say ‘Hi’ to the bloggers," Rosie said to her wife, Kelli Carpenter, while filming a her video blog for Rosie.com. "Honey, come say hi! Are you scared of my abusive parenting ways honey?†Rosie asked in jest, referring the tabloid's cover that read, “Abusive Rosie Bullies Son, 12.â€
In their story, the mag claimed that Ro got rough with Parker, and published six photos of the mother and son in, what looks to be, an argument. In one of those pictures, Rosie has her hand on her kid's arm.
“Um, no,†Kelli said. “I would assume that any mother [out] there that has a 12 or 13-year-old boy has grabbed him by the arm.â€
“The story is absolutely ludicrous and ridiculous,†a rep for Rosie told Access Hollywood. “There is no truth to it whatsoever.â€
Rosie followed up her partner's response, saying that that would be “our only comment, because you’re not supposed to comment. But it’s the only thing going through my mind.â€
I'm going to have to support Ro on this one. Maybe she was pulling him back from oncoming traffic. Maybe he was mouthing off and she wanted to get his attention. Maybe she was swatting a bee off of him. An unfounded story like this one is just wrong.
