Rosie O’Donnell’s daughter, Chelsea O’Donnell, arrested for child neglect and drug possession

Rosie O’Donnell’s daughter Chelsea Belle O’Donnell is back in the spotlight after being arrested on felony child neglect and drug possession charges.

The arrest came after a distressing domestic disturbance call to Chelsea’s home in Marinette County, Wis., where authorities discovered her 11-month-old son in dangerous proximity to a meth pipe. The home was found in deplorable condition, with reports describing trash, dirty diapers, dirty dishes and drug paraphernalia strewn throughout the residence, including meth pipes, needles and a digital scale.

The deplorable state of the home, combined with the presence of illicit substances, prompted the immediate intervention of the Child Protection Services, which took custody of the baby.

Chelsea, who has publicly struggled with addiction and mental health issues for years, now faces a slew of felony charges, including maintaining a drug-trafficking place, possession of methamphetamine and THC, and child neglect. He also faces two misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct/domestic abuse and possession of illegally obtained prescription drugs. These legal troubles are part of a long history of personal struggles for Chelsea, who made headlines in 2015 after she ran away from home at age 17 and reunited with her birth mother, further highlighting her strained relationship with his adoptive family.

Chelsea’s issues with addiction and mental health have been openly addressed by her famous mother, Rosie O’Donnell, who adopted her as a baby in 1997 during her relationship with Kelli Carpenter. In past interviews, O’Donnell revealed that Chelsea was born addicted to heroin and has battled mental illness throughout her life, including several hospitalizations. Despite the challenges, O’Donnell has remained vocal about her love for her daughter, although their relationship has been tumultuous over the years, with periods of estrangement.

The recent arrest adds to Chelsea’s growing list of legal and personal problems. She is now a mother of four, having endured a failed marriage and numerous brushes with the law. In addition to her struggles with addiction, Chelsea has dealt with ongoing issues with anxiety and depression, although she has publicly denied having any mental health issues in the past.
