'I am not a fan': Ricki Lake takes stance against Donald Trump on Watch What Happens Live

Took a stance: Trump, shown on Monday reporting for jury duty in New York City, was criticised by Lake for his comment about Rosie O'Donnell


Ricki Lake has joined the brigade against Donald Trump in his war against Rosie O'Donnell.

The 46-year-old actress proclaimed herself to be firmly in the O'Donnell camp during an appearance on Monday night on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live.

When asked what she thought of the golden-haired Republican presidential hopeful the talk show host said: 'I am not a fan'.

I'm team Rosie all the way,' she added firmly, while describing O'Donnell's philanthropic ventures and moral accomplishments.

'She's a wonderful friend and a wonderful person,' she said.

Trump was pressed during a recent debate by Fox host Megyn Kelly about previously calling women 'pigs', 'dogs' and 'fat slobs' and the real estate moguel cheekily replied, 'only Rosie O'Donnell'.

Lake had turned up barefoot for her appearance on the half-hour chat show.

The show's host Andy Cohen, 47, called the The Mama Sherpas executive producer his 'powerful mama'.

They were joined by The Real Housewives Of New Jersey alumni Caroline Manzo, 53.

The trio discussed the explosive last episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Lake was then forced to play a game 'Go Ricki or No Ricki' where she had to remember some lines from her long-running TV show.

Quotes included such delights as: 'She told me my new penis looked like a corkscrew, but I said at least I don't have herpes' and 'She slept around so much, she's so innocent, yet the b**** gave me chlamydia'.

Members of the public also called in with questions for Manzo and Lake.


When Lake was asked what it was like to work with Johnny Depp on the 1990 movie Cry-Baby she said: 'It was hot, he's a great guy'.

'It was like camp,' she said, confessing that she had told Depp all about how she lost her virginity.

Lake admitted that she is currently suffering from a broken rib after a bike accident.

'The worst part is that I peed myself,' said the Emmy winner.

'Yes, after I fell,' she continued.

'I've had two children,' explained Lake, who Cohen described as a 'crusader and advocate for women's health'.

Candid conversation: Mano and Lake talked pop culture and politics on the show

In another game called 'The Ricki Fake Beauty Pageant' she was required to judge a series of flamboyant cross dressers posing in her likeness.

The Dancing With The Star veteran chose the Hairspray version of herself as her favourite.

Manzo aka 'Mama Salami' had her daughter and husband behind the bar at the clubhouse set.
