Is Rosie the new Queen of mean?
Nov. 6, 2003, Thursday
To vote, click here. Some background: Cindy Spengler, who was head of marketing at “Rosie” magazine, said O’Donnell
made the remark after a meeting to discuss the magazine’s problems. Spengler
said O’Donnell told her that her silence in the meeting was tantamount to lying.
“You know what happens to people who lie,” the witness quoted O’Donnell as
saying. “They get sick and they get cancer. If they keep lying, they get it
again.”
Spengler testified in Manhattan’s State Supreme Court, where O’Donnell and
“Rosie” publisher Gruner+Jahr USA are suing each other for breach of contract.
She told O’Donnell, “Your mother died of breast cancer. Was she lying?”
Outside court, O’Donnell said she called Spengler the next morning and
apologized for the cancer comment. “I’m sorry I hurt her the way I did,” she
said. “That was not my intention.”

A cancer survivor burst into tears Wednesday when
she testified that Rosie O’Donnell suggested she was lying about goings-on at
her now-defunct magazine and told her liars get cancer.
“Yes,” Spengler quoted the entertainer as replying.
