Inside Rosie O'Donnell's Rocky Relationship With Her Daughter

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

During Chelsea O'Donnell's teen years, her relationship with mom Rosie O'Donnell became strained (per the Daily Mail). Chelsea described a May 2015 incident where Rosie allegedly was "drunk" and threatened her daughter as she looked for a tattoo Chelsea had gotten. This was shortly before Chelsea's 18th birthday, and the teen alleged Rosie threatened to hit her with a wine bottle and said "if she really wanted to she could kill me." Chelsea acknowledged, "I didn't go to the police because of who she is," adding, "She would have tried to say I was crazy and they just wouldn't believe me." Chelsea also detailed earlier times where Rosie was allegedly verbally and physically abusive, "making me feel that there was something wrong with me."

A few months later, Rosie claimed Chelsea "stopped taking her medicine and is in need of medical attention," insisting she'd run away from home. However, Chelsea said Rosie kicked her out and knew where she'd gone. A week later, Chelsea was found by the police, staying with a man she'd met online. Chelsea's time back home was short-lived, as Rosie reportedly packed her daughter's bags and told her to leave. 

Chelsea spent time with her biological mother before meeting Nick Alliegro in November 2015. She reconciled with Rosie and soon was pregnant and secretly married to Nick. Chelsea miscarried, and her relationship with Rosie broke down again.
