Rosie O'Donnell said during an appearance at a New York comedy club that she was fired from her moderator job on "The View" last season.
O'Donnell and "View" Executive Producer Barbara Walters have previously said the decision was mutual for O'Donnell to leave the television talk show before her contract ended.
But when the stand-up comic was invited to take the stage at the downtown Manhattan club Comix Wednesday night, during Roseanne Barr's set, O'Donnell started off with, "When I was fired by Barbara Walters ...," the New York Daily News reported Thursday.
O'Donnell then claimed Walters and other "View" panelists wear earpieces so producers can tell them what to say, which O'Donnell said she declined to do.
