Rosie O’Donnell Shares Disheartening Update About Daughter After Arrest
Rosie O’Donnell has issued a disheartening update regarding her troubled daughter, Chelsea Belle, who was arrested in September for drug possession and other narcotics-related charges, U.S.A. Today reported.
Though Chelsea was bailed out by her birth mother following her September arrest, the 27-year-old mother of four was arrested for the third time in two months on Nov. 17 in Wisconsin’s Marinette County. She is being held on five felony and four misdemeanor charges, including bail jumping, resisting or obstructing an officer, possession of methamphetamine, possession of narcotic drugs, and possession of an illegally obtained prescription.
O’Donnell took to social media on Tuesday when the news broke. "Yes this is true," the actor and comedian confirmed. "After being bailed out by her birth mother, Chelsea was arrested again — and is facing many charges related to her drug addiction. We all hope she is able to get the help she needs to turn her life around."

Chelsea was arrested on Sept. 10 after officers executed a search warrant on her home. She was released on bail but was arrested again on Oct. 11. In that instance, she was charged with several felony counts including neglecting a child; possession of methamphetamine; and maintaining a place for drug trafficking. She was also charged with four misdemeanors, including disorderly conduct, possession of THC, drug paraphernalia, and illegally obtained prescription drugs. She was once again released on bail and remained free until her Nov. 17 arrest.
Chelsea is due in court on January 27, 2025, to face the slew of charges against her.
After Chelsea’s October arrest, O’Donnell shared a candid video to TikTok thanking fans for their “kind words and wishes” during her family’s troubling time. "I appreciate that, it's very, very nice," Rosie said in the selfie-style video. "And for all the people who told me they were going through something similar with a child or spouse or a brother or a lover, thank you for making me feel less alone."
