Rosie O’Donnell Calls Out “A–hole” Jay Leno Amid Biggest Loser Doc

Rosie O’Donnell is not holding back her thoughts on the Biggest Loser documentary. 

Following the removal of “Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser” by Netflix on August 15, and a scene featuring Jay Leno reading death threats to former contestant Tracey Yukich on “The Tonight Show”, the former co-host of “The View” expressed her candid feelings about the incident.

In a post on her August 20th Instagram, Rosie expressed that Jay Leno can be quite harsh or unkind, accompanied by pictures from the “Fit for TV” scene.

TopMob News has reached out to reps for Jay but has not yet heard back. 

However, instead of merely criticizing the ex-late night host, she additionally targeted Bob Harper, a former star and coach on “The Biggest Loser,” who featured in the Netflix documentary, with her comments.

Now, in another Instagram post dated August 20, Rosie stated, ‘Bob Harper, could you please refrain from saying ‘I’m sorry.’ It’s incredibly hurtful and cruel. Come on, Bob.

Meanwhile, as Rosie assumes a defensive role for the ex-contestants of “The Biggest Loser,” who shared their experiences in the Netflix documentary, she is always ready to express her thoughts openly.

In a common occurrence, the comedian frequently uses social media as a platform to express her disagreements. Lately, she has criticized Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez for their extravagant Italian wedding.

Rosie posted on Instagram on June 30th, expressing her discomfort about ‘The Bezos Wedding’. She found it nauseating to see so many wealthy individuals coming together in such lavish extravagance, the spectacle of it all.

As a die-hard fan, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of dismay when I realized just how many celebrated figures graced the event. But let me tell you, none of them managed to overshadow my anticipation quite like the radiant Oprah Winfrey did.

Does Oprah have a friendship with Jeff Bezos, you ask?” Rosie wondered aloud. “It seems hard to believe given that he’s reportedly harsh towards his employees. By any measure, it’s challenging to consider him as a kind person.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m delighted to share that the talented actress from “Now and Then” has put an end to years of speculation about her alleged feud with Ellen DeGeneres. While they aren’t quite on friend-terms yet, it’s comforting to know that any tension between these two remarkable women has been resolved.

As a dedicated admirer, I confess that our paths seldom cross, and there’s an undeniable awkwardness. Yet, here I am, expressing my sincere well-wishes. I yearn for her to find tranquility, love, and contentment in every aspect of her life. May she always thrive.

Ellen took a stand for Rosie when President Donald Trump started criticizing her on social media.

In a July 13 Instagram post, Ellen commended Rosie by saying “Well done!” as she shared screenshots of Rosie responding to the president, without using the term ‘clapping back’.

While the comedians may have buried their hatchet, keep reading for more celebrity feuds… 

In January 2024, Bobby (the one second from the left) spoke up to dispel speculations about a rift with Tan (the one in the middle), which arose two months following his announcement of leaving the show Queer Eye, where he had spent eight successful seasons.

He assured Vanity Fair, “Tan and I are doing well, and we’ll continue to be so.” He explained, “A matter arose, which is private between us, and it has no connection to the show. It was a personal issue that had been simmering-and to set the record straight, there was nothing romantic involved.

In March 2024, Tan addressed accusations that he was attempting to get his friend Jeremiah Brent as a replacement for Bobby on the show “Queer Eye”.

In simpler terms, he shared on Instagram that Netflix and the production companies conducted a thorough casting process for the role. He clarified that he did not suggest his friend for the position. Instead, they were chosen because they proved to be the most suitable candidate for the job. Contrary to some assumptions, he did not get them hired by eliminating someone else.

In the December 2023 edition of her podcast named “Let’s Be Clear,” Holly Marie Combs, a former costar from “Charmed” with Shannen, claimed that Alyssa had given an ultimatum to a show producer, asking them to pick either herself or Shannen. This situation allegedly resulted in Shannen leaving the show in 2001.

In February 2024, Alyssa stated on Instagram, “I didn’t possess the authority to terminate anyone’s employment,” and further added that “given how far back in time these events occurred, any subsequent narration of these incidents by anyone can be considered a reinterpretation or rewriting of history.

The following day, during a panel discussion at MegaCon Orlando, Shannen asserted, “I’m not aware of any reinterpretation of history distorting the truth as I understand it.

Shannen passed away in July 2024 after a yearslong battle with cancer.

In September 2023, during a game titled “Stir the Pot” on TopMob News with her daughter Kelly Osbourne, Sharon remarked that the alum from That ’70s Show was the most impolite celebrity she had ever encountered. She labeled him as repeatedly rude and referred to him as a “rude little boy” and a “dastardly little character.

He did not respond to her remarks publicly.

Around five years ago, Sharon shared with Larry King that Ashton exhibited an “attitude” when he was on the show “The Talk” in 2014, following her mistakenly saying his name.

She remembered him saying, ‘Who are you? What accomplishments do you have in this field?’ To which she responded, ‘Boy, don’t test me, because I’ll trounce you and leave you behind. So let me just say, you’re not aware of the caliber of competition you’re facing.’

In August of 2022, Cassadee and Maren found themselves in a heated exchange with Brittany, the wife of country music star Jason Aldean. The dispute arose after Brittany posted an Instagram Reel showcasing her applying makeup on August 23rd, captioned, “I’m truly grateful to my parents for not altering my gender during my tomboy phase. I adore this feminine lifestyle.

During a TikTok challenge in 2022, JoJo Siwa labeled Candace Cameron Bure as the most rude celebrity she had encountered. Siwa recalled an instance on a red carpet where Bure declined to take a photo with her, making her feel overlooked. However, shortly after this remark, Bure, best known for her role in Full House, apologized to Siwa. She expressed regret for breaking the young star’s heart by not taking a picture and offered an apology: “I’m truly sorry, JoJo. I broke your 11-year-old heart when I didn’t take a photo with you. I feel awful about it.

After settling their differences, there came a time when Candace was questioned about the potential inclusion of same-sex leads in holiday films on the Great American Family network, where she holds the position of chief creative officer. In response, she expressed her belief that the network would continue to uphold traditional marriage as its central theme.

In simpler terms, JoJo, who publicly identified as part of the LGBTQ+ community last year, expressed on Instagram that the actress’ remark was insensitive and painful to an entire group of individuals.

In June 2021, Courtney Love claimed that Olivia Rodrigo had failed to credit Hole when using their album cover for a promotional photo. Rodrigo responded with a message expressing admiration and appreciation. Love playfully offered her favorite florist’s details in London and invited Rodrigo to send a note, accompanied by a winking face emoji.

During his guest appearance on “Watch What Happens Live”, the actor from “Happy Days” was inquired about his strained relationship with the “Forrest Gump” star while working together on the 1989 film “Turner & Hooch”.

For 13 days, I was in charge of directing that movie. Then, I was summoned to Jeff Katzenberg’s office where he told me, “Have you gathered everything? You can go home now.”

In this paraphrase, the original sentence is rephrased to sound more conversational and easy to read for the average person. The names are also clearly stated in full for better clarity and comprehension.

Winkler appeared to have a good rapport with Hanks’ canine costar, as he expressed, “I had a fantastic relationship, absolutely fabulous with that dog,” and “I really love that dog.

He also refused to admit if he’s even seen the flick. 

“You know what you did!”

Fans of “The Hills” might recall the famous quote from Lauren during the season three opener, as her feud with Heidi started when Heidi began dating Spencer Pratt, and reached its zenith when Lauren claimed that Heidi and Spencer had spread a rumor about her making a sex tape with Jason Wahler.

After the release date for Fast & Furious 9 was postponed to April 2020 on Instagram, Tyrese, a costar, started an old argument with Dwayne. On the same day, it was revealed that a separate Fast and Furious film starring Dwayne and Jason Statham would premiere in 2019. The following month, Tyrese indicated he might leave Fast 9 if Dwayne was involved.

Later, Tyrese spoke candidly about the ongoing dispute during an interview on the “The Red Pill” podcast, expressing, “Up until now, I haven’t had a chance to chat with The Rock personally, but we will have that conversation.” He admitted to having a discussion with The Rock’s producing partner, but not with the actor directly.

In a surprising turn of events, Tyrese admitted to being the representative for numerous individuals tied to the business venture. However, he was the sole individual who made their shared sentiments public, a decision he now regrets as it was imprudent and unwise. In simpler terms, he acknowledged that he was the one who publicly expressed feelings on behalf of others, and now realizes it was a mistake.

No more bad blood here.

For several years, Taylor and Katy found themselves in a long-lasting dispute, with some suggesting that it was the catalyst for Taylor’s song “Bad Blood.” The tension, which was said to have originated from disagreements over a backup dancer and competing tours, eventually came to an end when Katy extended an olive branch – quite literally – to Taylor prior to her Reputation Tour commencement.

In a recent Instagram video, Taylor expressed, “I’ve just entered my dressing room and discovered an authentic olive branch here. It means a lot to me.

Taylor captioned the video, “Thank you Katy.”

For many years, rumors of a feud between “Sex and the City” co-stars Kim and Sarah Jessica Parker (SJP) had been circulating. However, these rumors resurfaced after an incident: Kim chose not to reprise her role for the third movie, and subsequently made statements about her costar that left people questioning their relationship.

During an appearance on ‘Watch What Happens Live’ in September 2017, Andy Cohen asked Sarah Jessica Parker about her response to Kim Cattrall stating that they were merely colleagues, not friends.

She conveyed that she was deeply saddened by the situation we had discussed during the entire week. It left her feeling distressed because it didn’t align with her remembrance of our shared experiences.

She expressed, “It’s unfortunate, but to be honest, it feels like our shared unique experience binds us more than anything else. Over the years, this professional journey of ours has transformed into something deeply personal. Therefore, I hope that this long-lasting bond overshadows any recent discussions.” In essence, she believes that the privilege we’ve had in sharing such a special experience for so many years is truly remarkable.

And though they didn’t film scenes together, Kim did make a small appearance on And Just Like That.

 

The legendary musicians have been involved in a dispute dating back to 2004. During the Q Awards where he received the Classic Songwriter Award that year, Elton John made a remark to the audience, “Madonna, regarded as the best live performer? It’s absurd! When did miming become live? I apologize, but I believe anyone who mimics on stage when you pay around 75 pounds to see them should be criticized.

2008 saw a conflict between the former star of “Grey’s Anatomy” and the show’s creator, as she chose not to be considered for Emmy Awards. She explained that her decision stemmed from feeling she hadn’t received acting material worthy of an award nomination.

Later on, Shonda discussed Katherine’s choice during an interview with Oprah Winfrey on Oprah’s Next Chapter in 2012. She stated, “On one hand, it hurt a bit and on the other hand, I wasn’t entirely shocked. When someone reveals their true nature, trust them. That saying has been helpful for me.”

During the New York Fashion Week, an argument between Nicki and Cardi that made headlines globally took place at the Harper’s Bazaar Icon party. A while later, Cardi shared what had ignited the conflict with Nicki.

For some time, she’s been firing numerous criticisms at me, Cardi stated in W magazine’s Art Issue. “We had a conversation twice previously, and reached a compromise. However, she persisted.

A significant source of conflict between them arose when Cardi perceived that Nicki might have liked and subsequently unliked a tweet criticizing Cardi’s parenting abilities, an action Nicki has since claimed not to have taken.

Cardi B stated, “I had the opportunity to earn millions from my Bruno Mars tour, yet I chose to remain with my daughter instead. To those who may find this decision inconsequential since they don’t have children of their own, I ask, would you make such a choice? It’s never appropriate for anyone to question my dedication as a mother.” She further explained, “I’m not likely to cross paths with another artist in the supermarket or on the street. So, it was not the right time or place for such comments.

The conflict between Kanye and Taylor Swift initially arose in 2009 during the MTV Video Music Awards, when Kanye, the rapper known for “Stronger”, interrupted her acceptance speech on stage. Despite reconciling years later and even forming a friendship, their relationship deteriorated again in 2026 following the release of his song “Famous,” where he referenced Taylor in its lyrics.

On the eve of the Grammy Awards in February 2025, Kanye West changed his Instagram following list to include only Taylor. Without any additional explanation, he left the decision unexplained, and Taylor Swift remained silent on this matter in public.

“I don’t know her.”
