Rosie O'Donnell Returns to 'The View:' 'This Feels Kind of Weird but Good Weird'

Controversial Comic Rosie returned to "The View" Friday joining co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Jenny McCarthy, Sherri Shepherd and Barbara Walters on the couch.

"This feels kind of weird but good weird," she said after sitting down. Walters expressed that it felt good to have her back on the couch. Walters previously said she thought this was the right time to invite the former panelist back, with Valentine's Day coming up.

On the pre-taped interview O'Donnell talked about why she was wearing red it was to raise heart awareness and she then recalled her own experience having a heart attack. She also shared details about life with her wife Michelle and five kids.

Walters then stated that while she disagreed with O'Donnell about some things, she never once doubted that she was a good mother.

O'Donnell joined the four co-hosts in the "hot topics" segment, in which she asked Walters if she really wanted her to be a part of the argumentative piece. Before it began she jokingly asked, "Is Hasselbeck here?" And during the discussion she said she was back, adding, "I'm afraid I'll be exiled again.

She was, though, did express her support for Dylan Farrow the adopted daughter of famed screenwriter, director, actor, and comedian Woody Allen. O'Donnell saying that she "totally believes" Farrow's claim that Allen molested her.

O'Donnell made it known that she too was a victim of sexual abuse and that Mia Farrow (Allen's ex) is a really close friend of hers. Walters again repeated what she said earlier in the week, in support of Allen "Allen's been a good father," but O'Donnell said, "You can never really know what's going on in a house." That being the closes topic that almost led to a debate was successfully averted and the segment peacefully continued.

The panel also went on to discuss Justin Bieber, and O'Donnell said he's just a kid. Claiming that everyone gets into trouble at that age and if everything everyone did was publicly reported on, many would be ashamed of their conduct. "Here's the thing: fame is tidal wave. It sweeps you away. I think that until you've experienced it you have no concept of what it is"

O'Donnell argued that Bieber's parents need to intervene sooner than later. "Do I think that he needs parental supervision in a way he's not getting? I most certainly do. When everyone's around you on your payroll, it's a very difficult thing," she argued. "When you're a parent and you're living off the financial success of your child, you have a tremendous responsibility that goes beyond fiduciary."

O'Donnell was also asked her thoughts on the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman, saying that she thinks drug addiction "is a disease."

"It's time we stop shaming addicts and realize it's a disease, in the same way we would never yell at someone with cancer and say, 'Oh, my god! You have cancer! I can't believe you! You're so morally corrupt.' We shouldn't do that to drug addicts," she said. "I understand it's a hard concept for people who don't have any addictive nature."

O'Donnell's leaving the talk show followed months of on-air battles with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck for her conservative views. There were also rumors of tension with "View" co-host and creator Barbara Walters.
