When Rosie O’Donnell was with Kelli Carpenter, they adopted three children together. The first was Parker, initially Rosie’s and all she did was brag about the joys of motherhood on her now-defunct talk show. They then welcomed Chelsea Belle followed by Blake. Together, the couple had one biological child, Vivienne before splitting up. Rosie did remarry and ended up welcoming another child with her late wife, Michelle Rounds. Though she seemingly adored her kids, Chelsea reconnected with her biological mother. She went through a tough time and even went missing for a period when she was seventeen.

Chelsea went on to have four children and recently, found herself in a bit of trouble. In September 2024, Chelsea and her boyfriend, Jacon Nelund were arrested after their home was found in despicable conditions. She was charged with four felony counts of maintaining a drug trafficking place, child neglect, and possession of methamphetamine and THC. This was after Sheriff’s Deputy Logan Graetz went into their son’s room and found the unimaginable:

“I then went into the child’s room that was off of the kitchen. On a nightstand, I observed a blue box; and in that box, I observed several hypodermic needles. Some of the needles were used and had dried blood in them.”

There was more that was found that was easily accessible to a baby which was disturbing yet Chelsea did not stop. Less than a mother later, she was charged with possessing methamphetamine, and narcotic drugs, felony bail jumping, and obstruction. While behind bars, she has reached out to Rosie O’Donnell, per the Daily Mail:

“My mother is more interested in getting the Menendez brothers released from prison than getting me out. I have a drug problem.  I need to go to rehab, but I never killed anyone like the Menendez brothers. My mother has turned her back on me.”

In Chelsea’s mind, her mother cares more about freeing brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez than getting her out. Yes, she has spoken out about the brothers. However, Rosie believes Chelsea is safer in prison than free and on the streets. She maintains her daughter would be a danger to herself if she would bail her out.

Mental Health Problems

Chelsea Belle O’Donnell explained that when she called her mother, Rosie O’Donnell, she had a reason for not coming to her rescue. She said this to her daughter:

“When I called Rosie to ask her to bail me out, she told me flat out, “You belong in there.’ She said: “I really can’t help you get out of there; I don’t want you to kill yourself. I don’t want to be responsible for you killing yourself.'”

Rosie has spoken openly about Chelsea having mental health issues in the past. Back in 2017, she broke down how Chelsea was born addicted to heroin. Therefore, it has been a struggle ever since. Chelsea has shared that her upbringing led her to where she is today and that she was kicked out at 18. More so, her mother allegedly never supported her pregnancies. There has been an immense amount of tension between the two but Rosie may know Chelsea and her history better than anyone.
