Rosie O' Donnell Hits Back Against Bully Claims
You had to know Rosie O' Donnell wasn't going to sit back and not say anything about The Globe's recent accusations that she "bullies" her 12-year-old son.
“Kelli, come say ‘Hi’ to the bloggers," Rosie said to her wife, Kelli Carpenter, while filming a her video blog for Rosie.com. "Honey, come say hi! Are you scared of my abusive parenting ways honey?” Rosie asked in jest, referring the tabloid's cover that read, “Abusive Rosie Bullies Son, 12.”
In their story, the mag claimed that Ro got rough with Parker, and published six photos of the mother and son in, what looks to be, an argument. In one of those pictures, Rosie has her hand on her kid's arm.
“Um, no,” Kelli said. “I would assume that any mother [out] there that has a 12 or 13-year-old boy has grabbed him by the arm.”
“The story is absolutely ludicrous and ridiculous,” a rep for Rosie told Access Hollywood. “There is no truth to it whatsoever.”
Rosie followed up her partner's response, saying that that would be “our only comment, because you’re not supposed to comment. But it’s the only thing going through my mind.”
I'm going to have to support Ro on this one. Maybe she was pulling him back from oncoming traffic. Maybe he was mouthing off and she wanted to get his attention. Maybe she was swatting a bee off of him. An unfounded story like this one is just wrong.

Come on, how many parents out there can say they NEVER grabbed their childs arm. But I doubt anyone would take a story seriously from The Globe. I believe the other Headline stories are...James Brown poisened and Ryan Seacrest steals Regis' job.
I agree with T. I'm guessing that there aren't too many HONEST parents out there who can say that they NEVER grabbed their child.
Well the kids age probably is a hint..grabbing an arm does not qualify as abuse as any parent call probably agree with.
I don't know, you would have to ask the child in private I suppose what his side of the story is.
Rosie has a smile that freaks me out. I find it very scarey, not sure why, just saying, if I were her kid I would be saying a lot of yes Ma'am! Just from a look!
I have a 13 yo. After comparing notes with other parents of teens there isnt one parent who hasnt grabbed their kid.
Yes, Rosy isnt my favorite person. But that doesnt mean she is a bad parent.
Why do we think that celebs are a different or better than us? I am sure they all have to get a grip on their kids just like everyone else, they are not saints. I am sure one day behind closed doors Angelina will loose her cool with her 50 kids! We just don't normally see it. We see what they want us to see, I applaud her for nipping it in the bud, and not raising a selfish spoiled brat!
I'm with you, Ellen.
So what if Rosie grabbed his arm?? I can't stand Rosie, but this accusation is rediculous, unless there is proof of other abuse.
So what if she grabbed her son by the arm. As long as she is not doing it in such a way that it leaves bruises, or really hurts him. I have a 9 year old son, and I will openly admit to grabbing him AND giving him a good old fashioned smack if he pushes his luck too much, and I think he is a better child for it! I see many a child in the area I live in, that are allowed to run a muck because the parents don't give a damn, or a too lazy to deal with anything, and I can tell you my son is a far nicer and stable child than these other little "criminals to be". More parents should discipline their children, then there wouldn't be so many out of control little a..holes in the world, who are then likely to grow up as big a..holes!! to then continue the pathetic trend. I like to call it "Ferals breeding ferels"
oh come on, its totally a "listen to what im saying" arm grab, he's a teenager! ive got 3!
I agree T. Many friends I met on a millionaire dating site called meetingwealthy have the same opinion with me. They are successful men and women. We usually talk together.
Everyone is ridiculous, I've blistered my childrens ass in the name of love just like my parents blistered mine. Comes a time when reasoning don't work and you have to make a statement, no foul, no punishment. My children love me and I love them, End of story!
As much as I can not stand Her, I'm sure Rosie wouldn't bully her kid, only other adult celebs! She was probably just trying to make a point to the kid.I know my 2 yr old gets to the point where I have to wrestle Her to the ground to get a point across. I can only imagine what it'll be like in 10 years!
Uummm....I have twin 13 year old boys and I haven't grabbed their arm's....worries me when parents say they have 'blistered' their kids ass's or they 'wrestle' their 2 year old to the ground to make a point....have you thought of what point you are making?? I firmly believe in discipline, I believe in saying NO and meaning it and sticking to it. I insist on respect and I give respect. Physical punishment? no....sorry it doesn't work. You are teaching your child that you are bigger and stronger (however not smarter) and are able to bully them. What do you think they are going to do when it comes to sorting out issues in their lives? I know that parents become frustrated because their children don't listen....but if you are consistent in what you say and in what you insist on and what the consequences are for disobeying you won't have to use physical force. Enforce your rules - you ARE the parent, but there is no need to resort to violence. Think about the type of person you want your child to grow into and think about how you want to accomplish that. Then do it......
Mmmm, not her fan. I saw her profile on "SeekingRich.com"
last week. "She is already in relationship with a young billionaire on our site", according to the officials of that site.
Globe is totally garbage. Ro is a great person. Incidently, when was the last time a parent was accused of "bullying" their child? I have a feeling this story was run passed Globes layers who forced them to change "child abuse" to "bullying." Anyway, it's all hateful lies.
Every child needs some disciplinary action every once in a while. So what if she grabbed him by the arm? That doesn't mean she is abusive. For crying out loud, every one is so afraid of being called that word that it is no wonder children know no limit.
She is nothing more than an "angry", "ugly", "fat nasty", "big mouthed lesbian pig"...I feel sorry for anyone that has to share a home with this "bitch"...Nuff said...
BB~ You are so funny! Nuff said is right. I agree with all of the above that BB said!
What do you expect from a man hating bull dyke?....wait till he grows up, I hope he kicks her fat ass!.
