Rosie O'Donnell’s Adopted Daughter Chelsea O'Donnell Reconnects with Biological Mother After Jail Release.

Rosie O'Donnell’s adopted daughter, Chelsea O'Donnell, 27, has been released from jail after facing multiple drug-related arrests and is now entering a 28-day residential treatment program. Court documents confirm that Chelsea reached an agreement with prosecutors to leave jail and begin her recovery journey. Following her completion of the program, Chelsea’s original bond, set at $7,500, will be reinstated, allowing her to return to the Marinette County jail.

Chelsea’s release and treatment are part of an effort to address her ongoing struggles with addiction. Her attorney confirmed that Chelsea will stay with her biological mother, Deanna Micoley, until she begins her treatment.

On December 12, Chelsea shared family photos from Wisconsin, including a picture with her biological mother, sparking a public reconnection between them.

Chelsea O'Donnell’s Arrests and Legal Troubles

Chelsea’s recent legal troubles began in September, when she was arrested for drug possession, child neglect, and other charges. Police reports revealed that drugs, including meth, a meth pipe, and syringes, were found in her residence, which was also deemed unsafe for her child, Atlas.

Chelsea was arrested again in October for possessing meth, and once more in November, leading to her most recent release and entry into the treatment program.

Despite the turmoil, Rosie O'Donnell, 62, has remained hopeful about Chelsea's recovery, sharing her family's struggles with addiction publicly. "Chelsea has struggled with drug addiction for a decade," Rosie said. "We are all hopeful she will find her way out of this deadly disease."

A Tumultuous Relationship with Rosie O'Donnell

Chelsea, who was adopted by Rosie and her former partner Kelli Carpenter when she was a baby, has had a strained relationship with her adoptive mother over the years. After turning 18, Chelsea moved to Wisconsin to be closer to her biological mother. She is now a mother of four, with her most recent child, Atlas, born in October 2023.

As Chelsea takes this step toward recovery, her story highlights the ongoing challenges of addiction and the importance of family support during difficult times. Rosie O'Donnell, who has been vocal about her daughter’s struggles, continues to hope for Chelsea’s eventual success in overcoming her addiction.

As Chelsea enters her 28-day program, she is taking a significant step towards recovery and healing. The support of her biological mother, along with her ongoing treatment, will be crucial as she faces the challenges ahead. The O'Donnell family is hopeful that this time, Chelsea will find the strength to overcome her addiction and move toward a healthier future for herself and her children.

Chelsea O'Donnell, the adopted daughter of comedian and television host Rosie O'Donnell, has faced significant personal challenges in recent years. Born in 1997, Chelsea was adopted by Rosie and her then-partner Kelli Carpenter when she was just a baby. Over the years, Chelsea's relationship with Rosie has been complicated, especially after Chelsea turned 18 and moved to Wisconsin to be closer to her biological mother, Deanna Micoley.

Chelsea has struggled with addiction issues, which have led to multiple arrests. In 2023, she was arrested three times within a two-month period for drug-related offenses, including methamphetamine possession. Her legal issues and ongoing battle with substance abuse have been publicized, with her family expressing concern for her well-being.

In December 2023, Chelsea was granted release from jail and entered into a 28-day residential treatment program as part of an agreement with prosecutors. She is now attempting to turn her life around and focus on recovery, with support from both her biological mother and extended family. Despite her struggles, Chelsea has four children and has expressed a desire to regain stability for herself and her family.
