Rosie O’Donnellisn’t ready to forgive and forget.
The Emmy winner recently got an apology fromEllen DeGeneres, who said years ago onLarry King Livethat they“weren’t friends”— but receiving a mea culpa doesn’t mean O’Donnell is looking to be buddies with her fellow former talk show host.

“She wrote, ‘I’m really sorry, and I don’t remember that.’ I guess she saw me talk about it onAndy Cohen’s show,” O’Donnell said of DeGeneres, 65. “I remembered it so well, I had T-shirts printed and I gave them to my staff that said ‘I don’t know Rosie. We’re not friends.”
She added, “I have a picture of her holding [my then-infant son]Parker. I know her mother. I could identify her brother without her in the room. I knew her for so many years. It just felt like I don’t trust this person to be in my world.”
