The current buzz about Rosie O’Donnell’s Twitter feed (yes, really) is mostly centered on the fact that President Trump revived one of her old tweets to throw some unabashedly petty shade at James Comey, the FBI Director he abruptly — and with confused reasoning — fired on Tuesday.
We finally agree on something Rosie. https://t.co/BSP5F3PgbZ

Yet before the president decided to do some Thursday afternoon subtweeting, O’Donnell posted a picture of herself backstage at the Broadway production of Paula Vogel’s “Indecent” with some pretty remarkable company: Oprah.

The two television queens posed for a photo after the show with the cast; Oprah was also spotted outside the theater with “Indecent” producer Daryl Roth.

Page Six reports Oprah was seen “dabbing back tears” during the performance. If that’s true — it is, after all, Page Six — we’d say the “Indecent” crew doesn’t need to give another thought to the results of next month’s Tony Awards. They’ve already gotten the greatest endorsement of all.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
