At least they made up at some point as Nell appeared on Rosie’s show in 1997. Makes me sad that it was like that on the set in the final season, hope parts of it are slightly exaggerated.

Someone in the comments section on YouTube said that Rosie claimed that this was a staged/fake reunion.

Rosie kept her mouth shut about the worst things she did until after she passed. This was pretend to be nice meeting

Bummer. However, Rosie is no prize either, especially nowadays. Very very hateful and angry. She actually got upset that Kimmel got suspended for celebrating a murder and making disgusting comments on live TV. Uhhh …
She used to be way cooler in the 90s. Why does anyone care what she thinks now?
