In a statement today, Brian Frons, the president of Disney-ABC's Daytime Television Group, said, "We had hoped that Rosie would be with us until the end of her contract three weeks from now, but Rosie has informed us that she would like an early leave. Therefore, we part ways, thank her for her tremendous contribution to 'The View' and wish her well."
Barbara Walters, the show's creator and co-executive producer, said, "I brought Rosie to the show. Rosie contributed to one of our most exciting and successful years at 'The View.' I am most appreciative. Our close and affectionate relationship will not change."
In her statement, O'Donnell said, "I'm extremely grateful. It's been an amazing year and I love all three women."
And on her Web site Thursday, O'Donnell wrote: "When painting there is a point u must step away from the canvas as the work is done."
O'Donnell announced at the end of April she was leaving "The View," and her last day was supposed to be June 20.
Her scrap with Elisabeth Hasselbeck on Wednesday sealed the deal. Rosie is over it. Too bad for The View - there goes 50% off their viewership.

Rosie does not need the aggravation... she is being set-up by the View producers (yes, I include Barbara) and Elizabitch is their 'tool' as she is a 'bush tool'... Ro deserves better and I applaud Janette Barber for de-facing Elizabitch... such a phoney little conniving girl.. she should be taking better care of her unborn baby... Lord knows but the child may be born with autism from all this hysteria caused by its Mom.
Horrible comment above.....
I think the exact opposite is true. Rosie is a bully and uses her big mouth to spew total untruths. She is no "friend" to those she claims to be. God for bid there is a young, beautiful, intelligent, CONSERVATIVE woman on television speaking from her own values and beliefs.
I can't stand Elisabeth!!! I'm glad Rosie left early! Who in there right mind would wanna stay around Elizabeth for! http://maplejuice.com/2007/05/25/rosie-quits-the-view-early.aspx
I just can't wrap my head around the 'conservative' way of thinking.
Elisabeth is a no-talent, nothing to say, ex-Survivor contestant for gods sake. She's got about as much smarts as my shoe.
