Rosie O'Donnell is not happy with the latest decision of The View's producers. The returning co-host, who has allegedly been causing some trouble on the series both on-screen and off-screen, has reportedly had it with producers. The team behind the series has been trying to shake up the program in order to bring in a younger viewership, but what they are intending to do is making Rosie not so happy.

According to RadarOnline, the series is looking at ways to appeal to a younger demographic, which could mean hiring a new co-host that is considerably younger than the four current panelists. This, along with the addition of flash sales into the program, has made Rosie very frustrated.

When the introduction of the flash sales were incorporated onto the broadcast, Rosie was blindsided, not knowing that they were going to be promoting advertised items during Monday's episode.

When Whoopi revealed the producers' idea on camera, O'Donnell wasn't very receptive of it, according to reports.

"I didn't know we were doing that- that makes us like the Home Shopping Club, what is that?" the star explained on camera. "I didn't enjoy those, but maybe it's just me."

However, according to MailOnline it is the fact that the producers are thinking of bringing in younger co-host that is really getting Rosie's goat.

"They never thought The Real would beat them out in key demographics," the source revealed. "Now they have to do something to make the show more youthful, which is hard when the average age of your co-host is 50."

Rosie allegedly let producers have it behind the scenes after the flash sale aired saying, "Who in the hell approved that concept? I hated it on the previous version of the show. I won't stand for this crap! Stop trying to change this show to get younger viewers."
