With three weeks left in her contract, Rosie O'Donnell left The View today. After a fall out with staunch Republican, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, this week it was specualted that Ro was upset and ready to leave.

ABC Daytime issued the following statement:

"We had hoped that Rosie would be with us until the end of her contract three weeks from now, but Rosie has informed us that she would like an early leave. Therefore, we part ways, thank her for her tremendous contribution to 'The View' and wish her well."

Barbara Walters said:
"I brought Rosie to the show. Rosie contributed to one of our most exciting and successful years at "The View." I am most appreciative. Our close and affectionate relationship will not change."

Rosie said: "I'm extremely grateful. It's been an amazing year and I love all three women."

I am starting to rethink my theory that Star Jones was the crazy one...
