Rosie OโDonnell Fled US For Ireland After Trumpโs Win: Report
Rosie OโDonnellย has followed through on her promise to leave the United States, confirming on social media late Tuesday that she has officially relocated toย Ireland. The 62-year-old comedian and actress made the move to Dublin on Jan. 15, bringing her 12-year-old daughter along with her.
In a TikTok video, OโDonnell explained that she left the country because of the current political climate, saying the move was necessary to protect their well-being after President Donald Trumpโs reelection.
She also revealed that sheโs in the process of obtaining Irish citizenship, citing her familial roots in the country.
โI never thought Iโd leave the country,โ OโDonnell acknowledged. โBut this felt like the best decision for me and my child. And here we are.โ
OโDonnell revealed that sheโs adjusting to life abroad and claimed that she and her youngest child are content. However, she admitted, โBut I miss my other kids. I miss my friends.โ
Reaction from conservative influencers was swift and relentless, igniting a firestorm of online commentary and debate.
The โ90s comedian and actressโ European emigration follows a growing trend of high-profile liberals fleeing the U.S., including Ellen DeGeneres leaving the U.S. for countries like the U.K. and Ireland, driven by dissatisfaction with Trumpโs policies, including his administrationโs efforts to dismantle bureaucratic overreach and roll back executive actions on diversity, equity and inclusion.
As reported by Fox News, the former View co-host has been publicly feuding with President Trump since 2006:
OโDonnell disagrees with Trump not only politically. The two have also been involved in a feud since 2006 after she criticized him on โThe Viewโ about his decision to be lenient toward a Miss USA winner who had been accused of drug use and other bad behavior.
OโDonnell questioned Trumpโs moral authority, referencing his personal history and business practices, and mocked his appearance. She stated, โHeโs the moral authority? Left the first wife, had an affair. Left the second wife, had an affair. Had kids both times. But heโs the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America?โ
Trump responded to the criticism by calling OโDonnell a โreal loser.โ
At the time, he said of Miss USA Tara Conner that he is a โbeliever in second chances. Tara is a good person. Tara has tried hard. Tara is going to be given a second chance.โ
The pair continued to spar back and forth, with OโDonnell telling People magazine in 2014 their feud involved the โmost bullying I ever experienced in my life.โ
Trump launched a series of verbal salvos against OโDonnell, calling her โdisgusting,โ โa slobโ and threatening legal action, although he never followed through with a lawsuit. He also commented on her appearance and personal life, intensifying their rivalry.
While OโDonnell and her youngest child have settled in Ireland, she leaves behind five grown children in the U.S.:
-Parker Jaren OโDonnell (29): Adopted in 1995, Parker attended Valley Forge Military Academy and now serves in the Marines.
-Chelsea Belle OโDonnell (27):ย Chelsea has faced significant challenges, including a strained relationship with Rosie and legal issues related to drug possession and child neglect.
-Blake Christopher OโDonnell (25): The most private of OโDonnellโs children.
-Vivienne Rose OโDonnell (22): A University of Delaware student who graduated high school in 2021.
Will She Ever Return?
Despite embracing her new life abroad, OโDonnell left the door open for a possible return.
โI miss so much about life back home,โ she said. โBut Iโm trying to find a home here in this beautiful country. When America is safe for all citizens and equal rights are truly protected, thatโs when weโll consider coming back.โ
