The View
I'm at it again. I have no idea why I'm spending so much time on a show that I never watched more than 5 minutes of until last week when I saw Babs give her sob story about Star's betrayal.
As far as the Rosie/Tom Cruise thing is concerned, I knew Rosie's orientation and thought that the whole thing was ridiculous. However, I also knew that Rosie was obviously not comfortable or ready to come out so I understood why she did it. She did what she felt was best for herself and the show at that particular point in her life and I don't criticize her for that.
As far as Star is concerned, she should have either kept her mouth shut about her weight loss, well, as quiet as she can possibly be since it was so obvious, or she should have come completely clean. She should not have misled the public.
Are both deceptions comparable?
I think not. The stigma that is associated with being gay can't be compared with getting your stomach stapled. People are not going to damn you to hell for getting gastric bypass surgery.
Rosie's blunder was due to fear of discrimination while Star's was paint herself in a better light. I don't understand the big deal about telling the world you got your stomach stapled but I can understand the hesitation in coming out.
Rosie talking trash about Star is a whole different story.
As I said, Star was wrong but what business is that of Rosie's? There is obviously some reason why Rosie did it and it's not because she's annoyed that Star lied. Perhaps she feels the audience will like her better if they dislike her predecessor. I really don't know.
Rosie would have been better off shutting her trap about Star.
