Rosie asks to have name removed
Talk show host Rosie O’Donnell recently requested that her name and voice be taken off of “Artists and Orphans: A True Drama,” an Oscar-nominated documentary. O’Donnell apparently learned that the filmmakers responsible for the documentary are involved in a homophobic cult.
She says the filmmakers are involved with the Fourth Way School. According to some reports, the group bans gays and believes they should not adopt.
The film’s lawyer said O’Donnell’s claims are “completely baseless.”
Rick Ross, a noted cult expert who has spent hours interviewing former Fourth Way members, says the group is indeed a cult and does exclude homosexuals.
