Rosie O’Donnell is showing ABC the view of her behind.

The 45-year-old comedian has decided to leave The View early, the network has announced.

"We had hoped that Rosie would be with us until the end of her contract three weeks from now, but Rosie has informed us that she would like an early leave,” Brian Frons, President of ABC Daytime, said in a statement. “Therefore, we part ways, thank her for her tremendous contribution to 'The View' and wish her well."

The chat show’s den mother Barbara Walters said, "I brought Rosie to the show. Rosie contributed to one of our most exciting and successful years at The View. I am most appreciative. Our close and affectionate relationship will not change."

"I'm extremely grateful,” O’Donnell said. “It's been an amazing year and I love all three women."

The early exit comes just two days after O’Donnell had an on-air blow-up with Elisabeth Hasselbeck, 29, the show’s resident conservative who has butted heads with the outspoken liberal since she came on board last September.
