This is simply horrifying. I am actually speechless.

Dapper...
This entire article and video is beyond disturbing.
Seriously.
Not something I would have thought would have come out of Rosie's mouth.

Ya, they both said some pretty horrifying stuff. I can't imagine what Rosie was thinking to say stuff like that. Did she really think it was okay? I guess she did. That's just disturbing.

Yuck
 

They're both gross and i HATE how Handler treats Chuy, its degrading fetishsizing, and ickie..

DISLIKE!

wow... this is just so disturbing to say the least.
how could handler say its child abuse :blink:

that has me open mouthed and just speechless... wow!

Thank you dapper for posting this I had not seen it and just wow SMH

I try to watch the OWN as much as possible. I want to support Oprah and all the great work she does. I have also tuned into the new show Rosie has on OWN. I have noticed this week, Rosie's show has not been aired this week. I wonder if it is related to this or just poor ratings.

I regret that neither of these two women were able to have a conversation that would have been an honest conversation and a learning morment for them and many others.

"those kind of people"???

Disgust. She should know better.

they didn't choose their words wisely. and since they didn't take the time to do that, ... this conversation should have been a private one. an open minded person (some pretend to be) would never say things like this, ... unless they just get careless. this is careless.

rosie likes drama. i definitely think of her as someone who often doesn't choose her words wisely. on purpose? that's the ticket.

you know, we aren't perfect. but being considerate of anothers feelings, ... these two have been around for a long time not to know this was a stupid conversation. grabbing at anything for ratings, i suppose. sad.

Yes... first cup of Joe and I'm already appalled.

I have a special needs brother and I've worked with special needs people as a caregiver. For Rosie to admit that she has mild anxiety around little people is, to me, actually not that big of a deal. If, by off-chance, she's not especially familiar with, say, how she would accommodate a little person in her home or on her show, that would cause some anxiety as she may be unwilling to cause anyone more distress than she absolutely must. Of course, this goes out the window as the conversation goes on, but somehow I think Chelsea Handler led the discussion there and it didn't necessarily have to be said or engaged.

I sometimes wish more people would be honest about their anxiety in dealing with what may offend, what to expect, how to accommodate someone, etc. rather than just shout at deaf people or treat everyone in a wheelchair like they have an untestable IQ.

The way the conversation turned, though... I could not believe how they completely infantilized and degraded little people like that. To me that was beyond drama - it seemed like casual cruelty for the sake of viewer reaction, and it sure got a reaction out of me. I'll always respect someone's right to an opinion, but that doesn't mean I'll have respect for them for their opinions.

DITTO :| :|

Once again.. open mouth, insert foot. :deepthoughts:

Wow.
Was this actually on TV?

I never have understood that woman treating that man as her gimmic.
Do neither one of them have people in their life to say helloo or excuse me?
PR people, agents ,producers or lastly friends who say wow this is fucked
up and let me tell you why.
I think they are both extremely arrogant and ignorant which is a shame
because they both have power and influence. Compassion is seriously lacking in their core to go on the way they did. So, not funny.

This was on the OWN network? Just what Oprah needed after the Twitter flap. I'm not a fan of the network or Oprah, but as Rosie's "boss", that can't be good news for a network already in deep trouble.
