Former talk show host Rosie O'Donnell is fighting accusations by gossip rag The Globe that she is abusing her kids after the magazine got hold of some photos showing Rosie disciplining her 12 year old son.

"Raging Rosie Bullies Her Boy," The Globe writes in their headline alongside a picture of Rosie yelling at her son Parker, 12, in late March. The story claims that she "forcefully manhandled him."

The Globe also claims Rosie may have caused "lifelong damage" to daughter Vivienne, 5, and son Blake, 8, by verbally abusing Parker in front of them.

"The story is absolutely ludicrous and ridiculous," Rosie's publicist says. "There is no truth to it whatsoever. I would put The Globe at the bottom of the bird cage."

No word yet on whether Rosie will take the matter to court.

Rosie O'Donnell started the Rosie's For All Kids Foundation in 1997, which up to date has awarded over $22 million in grants to over 1,400 child-related organizations.
