Despite receiving an apology from the former talk show host, Rosie O’Donnell is making no effort to rekindle her friendship with Ellen DeGeneres. DeGeneres has said on “Larry King Live” in the past that she and O’Donnell are “not friends,” a statement that seems to have left a permanent mark on their relationship.

In a recent interview with Hollywood Reporter, O’Donnell revealed that DeGeneres had texted her a few weeks ago to check on her well-being, saying, “She texted me a few weeks ago to check in, see how I was doing, and I asked her how she was still alive without being on TV. “

In People magazine, O’Donnell reflected on their complicated relationship, “It’s been a big transition. But we have a weirdness in our relationship. I don’t know if it’s jealousy, competition, or the fact that he once said something rude about me that hurt my feelings. ” He continued, recounting the interaction, “He wrote, ‘I’m sorry, and I don’t remember that.’ I think he saw me talking about it on the Andy Cohen show.”
