Rosie O’Donnell Breaks Silence Following Daughter Chelsea’s Arrest for Drugs and Child Neglect
Rosie O’Donnell is expressing her appreciation.
Following her daughter Chelsea Belle O’Donnell’s two recent arrests on child neglect and drug-related charges, the comedian shared a message with her online supporters.
“I just wanted to thank everybody for their kind words and wishes about Chelsea,” Rosie said in a TikTok video posted Oct. 21. “I appreciate that. It’s very, very nice.”
The former talk show host, 62—who is also mom to kids Parker, 29, Blake, 24, Vivienne, 21, and Dakota, 11—went on to express her gratitude to those who shared their own experiences as the situation plays out publicly.
“For all the people who told me they were going through something similar with a child or a spouse or a brother or a lover,” she continued, “thank you for making me feel less alone. I think it’s hard to be a public person sometimes, and it’s hard for the children of those public people, but it is what it is in the culture today. And here we are. So that’s that.”
