Rosie O’Donnell Asks For Prayers As Daughter Chelsea Faces ‘Scary Future’ In Prison

TV personality Rosie OโDonnell is appealing for prayers as her daughter Chelsea faces what she calls a โscary future.โ
OโDonnell posted on Instagram: โMy child Chelsea Belle โ before addiction took over her life โ I loved her then, I love her now as she faces a scary future โ prayers welcomed. #addiction awareness #love #family.โ
According to court documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, Chelsea had her probation revoked on October 22 and was sentenced to serve time in prison.
In a written statement, OโDonnell said, โI have compassion for those struggling with addiction โ Chelsea was born into addiction and it has been a painful journey for her and her four young children. We continue to love and support her through these horrible times. Prayers welcomed.โ
Last year, authorities charged Chelsea with two counts of felony possession of methamphetamine and felony possession of narcotic drugs, along with two counts of possession/illegally obtaining prescription drugs and resisting or obstructing an officer. Her arrest followed a traffic stop in Niagara, Wisconsin, where officers pulled over a vehicle for loud exhaust โ they recovered a clear smoking device on Chelseaโs person that tested positive for methamphetamine, and a prescription pill bottle containing a handful of pills and a crystal-like substance was found in her possession. At the time, Chelsea was out on bond for separate charges including child neglect and drug possession.
OโDonnellโs Instagram post on December 3 responding to Chelseaโs earlier arrest read: โSo yes this is true โ after being bailed out by her birth mother โ Chelsea was arrested again โ and is facing many charges related to her drug addiction โ we all hope she is able to get the help she needs to turn her life around.โ
Bring in the Trump context
Itโs worth noting that Rosie OโDonnell has for years been a vocal critic of Donald Trump, and the public feud between them has become almost legendary. Back in December 2006, while hosting the daytime talk show The View, OโDonnell called Trump out over his handling of the Miss USA controversy and mocked him as no moral authority for young people โ saying, โThis is not a self-made manโฆ left the first wife, had an affair, left the second wife, had an affairโฆโ People.com+2The List+2
Trump responded with scorn, calling OโDonnell โa woman out of controlโ and a โloser,โ threatening legal action though he never followed through. People.com+1 Over the years he repeatedly used her name as a punchline โ during the 2016 Republican primary debate when asked about his language toward women he quipped, โOnly Rosie OโDonnell.โ The New Daily+1
In recent years their feud escalated further: After OโDonnell announced she had moved to Ireland following Trumpโs second inauguration (January 2025), Trump publicly floated the idea of revoking her U.S. citizenship, calling her โa Threat to Humanityโ and saying โshe should remain in the wonderful country of Ireland, if they want her.โ
