"I really hope that you can be released from whatever this is that's causing you to cause such harm," she said.
The View alum, 48, spoke to her former colleague in a series of since-expired Instagram Stories on Thursday, Oct. 9. In them, she told O'Donnell to "stop the madness" just days after the 63-year-old comedian claimed that the pair's famous 2007 spat on the ABC talk show was "a setup" by production.
During the moment, which aired on May 23, 2007, the then-panelists got into a heated exchange when O'Donnell accused Hasselbeck of not defending her against right-wing media criticism of her anti-war sentiments. The 10-minute segment ended in a split-screen shoutfest.
Two days after it aired, ABC announced that O'Donnell asked to be released from her contract.
Nearly two decades later, during an appearance on the Australian drive-time radio show Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel, O'Donnell claimed she "bent over backwards" for Hasselbeck before her coworker questioned her patriotism on air. She added that she believed "the whole thing" -- referring to the resulting split-screen argument -- was "prepared" and a "setup."
Now, Hasselback is asking O'Donnell to "stop the lying."
"And even maybe if you don't stop, I still forgive you," she said in one since-deleted Instagram Stories clip, shared by Entertainment Weekly and Entertainment Tonight. "And it can just be so much more free, Rosie, if you can just stop. Stop the madness, stop the lying and just be free."
"I really hope that you can be released from whatever this is that's causing you to cause such harm," she later added.
In her emotional response, Hasselbeck brought up her relationship with fellow The View star Whoopi Goldberg, describing her as "a friend who doesn't want me to think how she thinks." She then claimed that O'Donnell "time and time again wants to spread lies and hate," per EW.
Hasselbeck alleged that she "tried to call" O'Donnell following their spat, saying that ABC made her "call and apologize" and that she believes her former colleague brings up the 2007 moment "in a way that's personally attacking me and the integrity of our work there and my personal character."
"I love my friends who disagree with me. I tried to call you many times and reach out to you after that, Rosie, and you don't want repair," she said, per the outlet. "I have to go here because you won't respond. If you want to get together and talk, let's do it, come over and swim in my pool, come take a couple laps, come back to America and enjoy your nation. We can have an open free dialogues about what we disagree on. I'll make you dinner, what do you want to stop the bullying?"
Hasselbeck said that "God has good plans" for O'Donnell and wants her to be "released from whatever this is that's causing you to cause such harm."
Elsewhere in her posts, the former The View co-host said O'Donnell was "tearing someone apart who had an opposing view."
"Stop lying, stop, stop, and in the meantime and even maybe if you don't stop, I still forgive you and it can just be so much more free, Rosie, if you can just stop," she said, per EW.
She continued, saying, "In Jesus' name I pray the lies held over you are released and that you can feel freedom and real joy without feeling satisfaction from trying to lie about somebody and destroy their character."
While on the Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel podcast, O'Donnell recalled "all I did" for her former co-host, adding that she "made one commitment to myself" to not be her "enemy" on air.
"And so, she came to my house; she swam in my pool; she brought her little kid; I took her kid to see Sesame Street Live; I took her to her first Broadway opening," O'Donnell shared. "Like, I bent over backwards for this woman, and here she was comin' at me on national TV about whether or not I was patriotic. It felt to me like I was on a basketball team of five women and one of them kept tripping me on my way to the hoop."
She added that she "of course" was unaware that the argument would become a split-screen face off between her and Hasselbeck, seemingly referring to late View co-creator Bill Geddie as "not an on-the-fly kind of" person. "He wasn't, like, Mr. Let's-go-to-a-split-screen. That was prepared. The whole thing, I think, was a setup."
A source told PEOPLE after the fight that O'Donnell was "definitely hurt by Elisabeth," and was upset at producers for going split-screen. She later wrote on her blog, "I never tried harder to be friends with someone than I did with [Elisabeth]. But I don't think we ever got there, or anywhere close."
The fight between the two panelists marked the end of O'Donnell’s eight-month stint on The View. She briefly returned to the show in 2014.
