Rosie O'Donnell calls addiction a 'deadly disease' after daughter's drug-related arrest

As a lifetime cinema enthusiast and a connoisseur of human drama, I find myself deeply saddened by the ongoing struggle of Rosie O’Donnell‘s daughter, Chelsea. Having spent countless hours watching the triumphs and tribulations of fictional families on the silver screen, I can’t help but empathize with the real-life trials faced by this remarkable woman and her family.


In my humble opinion as a film enthusiast, I find myself compelled to share some thoughts following the recent legal issues faced by Rosie O’Donnell’s daughter, who has been accused of child neglect and drug possession.

27-year-old mother of four, Chelsea O’Donnell, was detained last month in Wisconsin following the execution of a search warrant. She was subsequently incarcerated at Marinette County Jail and indicted on several felony charges – child neglect, methamphetamine possession, and maintaining a drug trafficking location, as well as numerous minor drug offenses, according to court records obtained by The Times.

Earlier this month, Chelsea was re-arrested in Oconto County with further felony drug and bail-jumping accusations, as stated in a court document dated October 14th. She is scheduled to appear in court on the 4th and 7th of November respectively, in each county.

After news about her oldest child’s arrest, Rosie shared a message along with a picture of Chelsea from happier days.

Unfortunately, this isn’t a fresh issue for us,” the ex-talk show host commented, further explaining that her daughter has been battling substance abuse issues for about ten years.

“We [are] all hopeful she will find her way out of this deadly disease,” she said.

As Michelle Visage from “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and Angie Harmon of “Rizzoli & Isles”, along with other peers, expressed affection and well-wishes for Chelsea’s recovery, a few commenters criticized Rosie’s parenting while she publicly opposed Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

“Maybe go focus on your own family instead of telling people who to vote for,” one user wrote.

Rosie O’Donnell indirectly addressed the past president in her post, saying, “Perhaps you could inquire from DJT about how he managed to bring up five children who are intelligent, respectful, healthy, and loving.” (Rosie O’Donnell and Trump have had a tumultuous relationship for quite some time.)

Rosie’s well-known relationship with her daughter, Chelsea, experienced ups and downs during Chelsea’s teenage and young adulthood.

2015 saw Chelsea, along with her therapy dog, fleeing Rosie’s residence in New York City. The circumstances were critical, as stated by Rosie’s publicist then, due to the fact that the 17-year-old, suffering from mental illness, had ceased taking her medication, according to previous reports from The Times. A week later, both Chelsea and the dog were located in a secure condition without any injuries on the Jersey Shore. Shortly afterward, Chelsea moved to live with her biological mother in Wisconsin.

After the event, Chelsea claimed in an interview with DailyMail that Rosie had been verbally abusive towards her while growing up, and they are no longer on speaking terms now. However, the comedian dismissed Chelsea’s statements as baseless, false, and a desperate attempt at attention-grabbing.

Rosie stated that Chelsea has spent a significant portion of her life going in and out of hospitals due to various health issues,” she continued, explaining that Chelsea was born dependent on heroin and had a childhood marked by illness, which made it challenging for her to discern truth from falsehood or reason logically.

As a diehard TV fan, I was thrilled when my beloved TV personality, who’s won an Emmy no less, rekindled our bond in the year of 2018. Guess what? It was all because she had just welcomed her very first little bundle of joy!

Rosie remarked on ‘The Talk’ that she and the person in question are getting along much better these days, as they’ve been exchanging conversations,” or simply, “Rosie shared on ‘The Talk’ that things have improved between us, and we’re talking more often now.

She noted that when someone wrongs you significantly yet you manage to find forgiveness, and they reciprocate, a unique sense of grace emerges between the two of you. This experience has actually fortified their bond, as it’s been tested by difficulties.
