Rosie O’Donnell 2015: Leaves ‘The View’ AGAIN, Plus Wife Michelle Rounds [PHOTOS]

After months and even years of major issues during "The View" with co-host Whoopi Goldberg and most recently Rosie Perez, Rosie O'Donnell's 2015 sees the Emmy Award-winning comedian and hostess taking a huge turn in her life: not only is she leaving the popular ABC morning show, she's also leaving her wife of two years, Michelle Rounds.

Known for her tough opinions and somewhat extreme behavior, Rosie O'Donnell in 2015 sees the actress and comedienne storming off both of the major things going on in her life, which is to say, the show where she's intermittently worked in the past years - she'd left before on 2007 only to return a few months back, in the fall of 2014.

According to NBC News, the big Rosie O'Donnell 2015 news first broke out in the media a few days back, though it was only just confirmed by O'Donnell's rep, Cindi Berger, last Friday. In a statement, Berger said that the actress had indeed split from wife Michelle Rounds back in November, and that she had been dealing with stress at home ever since, as she has five children she's adopted in the past, and has now been taking care of them.

"I can confirm that Rosie and her wife Michelle split in November. Rosie has teens and an infant at home that need her attention," said Berger to The New York Post's Page Six, about Rosie O'Donnell's 2015. "This has been a very stressful situation. She is putting her personal health and family first. ABC has been wonderfully understanding and supportive of her personal decision to leave 'The View.' Next week will be her last."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, there may be other reasons besides O'Donnell's family issues for the actress to leave the show: she's known as having clashed with co-host Whoopi Goldberg many times, and her return to the show didn't really spike the ratings the way ABC had wished when contacting her back.

What else could fans expect from Rosie O'Donnell in 2015? Only time will tell.
