Rosie O’Donnell Explains Trump Feud and Michelle Trachtenberg Role

Rosie O’Donnell shared her perspective on her public feud with Donald Trump, suggesting it stems from her past criticisms of him and his business dealings. O'Donnell, who is bringing her one-woman show "Rosie O’Donnell: Common Knowledge" to New York's Daryl Roth Theatre for 12 performances starting July 22, detailed her theories during a recent interview. The 64-year-old comedian and actress stated that Trump's animosity towards her intensified after she began speaking out against him on television.

O’Donnell also addressed her past interactions with actress Michelle Trachtenberg. She recounted an incident where she attempted to intervene and offer support to Trachtenberg, who was reportedly experiencing difficulties. O'Donnell explained that she had heard about Trachtenberg's struggles and felt compelled to reach out, believing she could offer assistance. However, her efforts to help were met with resistance, and the situation did not unfold as O'Donnell had hoped.

The one-woman show, directed by Gabriel Barre, will see O'Donnell reflect on various life experiences, including her 18 months living in Ireland. "Common Knowledge" promises to offer audiences a candid look at her journey and insights gained over the years. The performances are scheduled to run through August 4, with tickets available for purchase.
