Donald Trump Calls Rosie ‘A Very Abusive Person’

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Donald Trump has lashed out at Rosie O’Donnell, again.
Earlier this week, The Globe ran a cover story with the headline “Abusive Rosie Bullies Son, 12” and it appears the Donald is in camp Globe.
“Well I think Rosie is a very abusive person,” he told Access Hollywood on the Miss USA pageant red carpet. “She’s a slob and I’m not surprised to see it.”
Rosie was pictured in the accompanying article to the headline, in an apparent argument with the tall pre-teen and in one photograph she is seen grabbing his left arm.
“I would imagine that being her son is not fun. I know Rosie very well… She’s a very bad person,” Trump added.
Yesterday, Rosie herself lashed out at the tabloid story with the help of her wife, Kelli Carpenter.
“Kelli, come say ‘Hi’ to the bloggers. Honey, come say hi! Are you scared of my abusive parenting ways honey?” Rosie asked, referring to the story.
“Um, no,” Kelli responded to Rosie’s question. “I would assume that any mother [out] there that has a 12 or 13-year-old boy has grabbed him by the arm.”
