‘View’s’ Rosie O’Donnell, Co-Hosts Rage Against Jennifer Lopez’s ‘Cougar’ Label

“It’s definitely a double standard and some sexism without a doubt,” O’Donnell says

‘The View’ panel revolted against critics who label Jennifer Lopez a “cougar” — an older woman on the hunt for younger man-candy.

Critics have referenced the actress’s dating past in conjunction with Friday release of “The Boy Next Door,” in which Lopez’s character has an illicit-turned-dangerous affair with a high school student.

“An older man dates a younger woman and it’s, ‘Yeah, go get it,’” comedian Colleen Ballinger said. “It’s ridiculous.”

“It’s definitely a double standard and some sexism without a doubt,” O’Donnell responded.

Nicolle Wallace shrugged off the criticism.

“Look at her,” Wallace said of Lopez. “She looks insanely hot. She could date anyone she wants from 18 to 80. If I looked like her, you could call me whatever name you wanted to — any animal of the animal kingdom.”

O’Donnell lightened the mood by adding, “She’s a hummingbird. There, I said it.”
