'The View' Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie O'Donnell Feud: Oscar Winner Denies Fighting And Onset Drama With Co-Host On ABC Show!

The View had a major cast shakeup this year with the addition of three new panelists, but now moderator Whoopi Goldberg is speaking out on rumors that she and co-host Rosie O'Donnell are not getting along behind-the-scenes.

When asked about the dynamic of the show with all of the new changes for this season, including the additions of Rosie Perez and Nicolle Wallace, the Oscar winner didn't hold back.

"New women. Just a bunch of new women and really smart women and I like them," she said on the Late Show with David Letterman. "People keep saying 'Oh my god, I'm hearing everything. You guys are killing each other over there' it's like 'Oh, OK, you've got four chicks and people expect you to fight...Women don't just do that."

As MStars News reported, Whoopi has clashed with Rosie on a few occasions including a heated exchange during a commercial break after the Ghost star cut off the comedian in mid-sentence.

Talking to Letterman, Whoopi compared the situation to one that involved the opposite sex.

"Nobody ever asks those questions to the guys," she said. "You've got five guys on ESPN and maybe they're sniping at each other, but nobody says, 'Oh the dudes are fighting.'"

"You know, we're grown-ups," The Color Purple actress continued. "We're hip grown-ups and we're good-looking women, but the fighting thing, teenagers are doing that, that's some stuff kids do, we don't do that. It's too tiring!"

Whoopi is not only upset about the sexism going on in the media reports, but also the fact that there is a notion that people with differing opinions can't get along.

"In this country we've forgotten...when I was a kid at least, you knew people who weren't thinking exactly like you and it didn't mean that you couldn't be friends," she said. "And for some reason we have this things that's like, 'You can't be friends with somebody you don't agree with.' It's ridiculous."

Do you think all of the women on The View get along or is Whoopi sugar-coating the situation?
