Rosie O'Donnell Gets Mad At Her Neighbor
So, what do you do if you live in an apartment building and your next door neighbor is a celebrity? Do you treat them like anyone else in the building? Do you pretend to not know who they are? What do you do if your celebrity neighbor gets in a "knock down, drag-out screaming match" with her wife? Well, if you are Rosie's neighbor Julia Allison you blog all about the fight and share it with the world. Rosie, of course was slightly ticked. OK, she was really ticked and has asked her neighbor to stay out of her business.
Is it getting involved in Rosie's business though? If your neighbor is having an argument and screaming and yelling with their significant other and it is carrying into your apartment they are kind of making it your business. If they had wanted to keep it their own business they wouldn't have been yelling and screaming that loud anyway.
Pretend for a second that your neighbor wasn't a celebrity and you heard this kind of fight. Would you tell your friends about it? You probably would. If there was a fight that loud, you would probably share it with someone. You might even share it with any of your friends who you think would care about what you heard. Well, if it is a celebrity, that circle of friends is more far reaching and so your blog might be the best way to share that news with everyone.
If someone had been injured in the fight at Rosie's apartment, I'm sure that Julia would have been asked to report what she heard. So, what? Because no one was injured or hurt and it was just screaming and yelling she is supposed to pretend like it never happened? That is unrealistic and Rosie needs to realize that.
When the NY Post asked Rosie's people for a statement, they got this lovely excuse. "Yes, they fought - like most couples do. Give me a break - they're fine! They're happy [but] they have four kids.
"Whatever busybody neighbor spread this around probably shouldn't knock on their door to borrow a cup of sugar - ever."
So, apparently the four kids are the reason they were fighting? Wow. Blame it on the kids for your problems or issues. Even if it is because of the kids, don't you think you could have taken one for the team and blamed yourselves. I mean, I guess there is the possibility your kids won't read about you throwing them under a bus, but if they do read it, there will be some serious back pedaling to do. To me, that is really disturbing that they threw their kids under the bus that easily.
