More troubles for Rosie O'Donnell, now she's being sued for defamation

Rosie O’Donnell is being accused of making false and defamatory statements about an ex-producer of “The View” in a lawsuit filed in New York Supreme Court.

Jennifer Shepard-Brookman, who worked as producer and senior producer of “The View” from 2001 to 2015, claims that O’Donnell falsely accused her of betraying professional and personal confidences and leaking information to the media. She contends that O’Donnell “was solely motivated by and exhibited personal spite and ill will” against her.

The lawsuit claims that O’Donnell, after returning to the show last year, attempted to assert control of the show and clashed with Whoopi Goldberg, and sought to take coverage of news stories away from her.
