Who Is Rosie O Donnell: After Rosie O’Donnell issued a public apology to Priyanka Chopra Jonas after mistakenly referring to her as the daughter of author Deepak Chopra, the actor has taken to Instagram to call out the comedian.
She said, "I have never taken myself so seriously to think everyone would know who I am, or my work for that matter. But if you wanted to make a public apology for a very awkward private encounter, I think probably best to take the time to google my name before doing it or even try to reach out directly," she wrote.
She added, "We all deserve to be respected for our unique individuality and not to be referred to as 'someone' or 'wife' especially in a sincere apology. If we can learn to respect our differences in an authentic was, the world we raise our children in will be amazing."
