a parade of view<\/em> veterans \u2014 including current and onetime OG table mates Joy Behar, Meredith Vieira, Star Jones and Debbie Matenopoulos \u2014 paid their respects to the series’ late creator, Barbara Walters, during Tuesday’s special episode. Conspicuously missing from the hour-long tribute: former co-cost Rosie O’Donnell.<\/p>\n

According to O’Donnell’s spokesperson, the actress-comedian was invited to take part in Tuesday’s retrospective. However, \u201cShe is on a plane and could n’t change her schedule,\u201d the rep she explained. A view<\/em> spokesperson confirms that an invitation was indeed extended to O’Donnell.<\/p>\n

O’Donnell honored her former boss, who died Friday at the age of 93, on Instagram over the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a long and eventful legendary life she had,\u201d O’Donnell marveled. \u201cSpoke to every prominent world leader in memory, she interviewed everyone who’s anyone, and I was lucky enough to be in her orbit for a good many years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the pair’s well-documented rocky relationship, O’Donnell focused on the good times she shared with Walters. \u201cWe saw a lot of Broadway shows together,\u201d she recalled, \u201cand whenever we go backstage, I’d, like, try to help her, you know, over the steps backstage and she would always smack my hand and tell me to leave her alone. she [knew] what she was doing I could tell you that.<\/p>\n

\u201cMay she rest in peace and may everyone remember just what barriers she broke down for women,\u201d O’Donnell concluded. \u201cShe\u2026 was the first, and she will always be remembered.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
