Elisabeth Hasselbeck begs Rosie O’Donnell to ‘stop lying’ about ‘View’ fight

Elisabeth Hasselbeck wants Rosie O’Donnell to stop “bullying” her.

In a since-deleted Instagram Stories post shared by Entertainment Tonight, a tearful Hasselbeck, 48, issued an emotional plea to her former “The View” co-host, 63, to “stop the lying” after O’Donnell addressed their on-air fight in 2007 in a recent interview on Australian radio show “Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel.”

During the radio interview, O’Donnell said she “bent over backwards” to get along with Hasselbeck, who openly questioned the “League of Their Own” star’s patriotism during the argument. “And here she was coming at me on national TV about whether or not I was patriotic,” O’Donnell said.

O’Donnell also said she believed the infamous shouting match — during which she leveled an accusation that Hasselbeck failed to defend her against conservative media criticism of her anti-war views — was a “setup” and was “prepared” ahead of time by producers.

Following the split-screen spat, ABC announced that O’Donnell asked to be let go from her contract, only eight months into her gig on the show. However, she returned to “The View” for a brief stint in 2014.

“My heart is like, ‘Just please stop,’” Hasselbeck said in the emotional clip. “We’re all just trying our best.”

“And even maybe if you don’t stop, I still forgive you,” she said. “And it can just be so much more free, Rosie, if you can just stop. Stop the madness, stop the lying and just be free.”

Elsewhere in the clip, Hasselbeck added, “I really hope that you can be released from whatever this is that’s causing you to cause such harm.”

“I love my friends who disagree with me,” Hasselbeck said, referencing her ongoing friendship with “The View” host Whoopi Goldberg, whom she called “a friend who doesn’t want me to think how she thinks.” 

“I tried to call you many times and reach out to you after that, Rosie, and you don’t want repair,” she claimed, according to Entertainment Weekly.

“I have to go here because you won’t respond,” she continued. “If you want to get together and talk, let’s do it, come over and swim in my pool, come take a couple laps, come back to America and enjoy your nation. We can have an open free dialogues about what we disagree on. I’ll make you dinner, what do you want to stop the bullying?”

Hasselbeck also accused the comedian of “tearing someone apart who had an opposing view” and “trying to lie about somebody and destroy their character.”

Reps for O’Donnell did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

In O’Donnell’s radio interview, the liberal TV host said she had committed not to be an “enemy” with the famously conservative Hasselbeck.

“She came to my house, she swam in my pool, she brought her little kid, I took her kid to see ‘Sesame Street Live,’ I took her to her first Broadway opening,” O’Donnell claimed, adding that during the on-air argument she felt like she “was on a basketball team of five women and one of them kept tripping me on my way to the hoop.”
