Roughly a week after Rosie O’Donnell‘s 17-year-old daughter Chelsea was thankfully found safe and sound in the attic of a 25-year-old drug dealer she met on Tinder, it seems the teenager has left home yet again… this time to live with her birth mother, Deanna, in Wisconsin. There were rumbles that Chelsea had been in contact with Deanna since late last year and had been planning to visit her, and it seems to have finally happened, despite Rosie’s warnings against it.
From TMZ:
According to our sources, Deanna drove down from Wisconsin to pick Chelsea up on Monday afternoon … which happened to be her 18th birthday.
We’re told Chelsea and Deanna drove back to Wisconsin, where Chelsea will stay for the time being.
We’re told Rosie advised Chelsea NOT to go with Deanna, but she went anyway. We’re also told Rosie has cut off Chelsea financially and has refused to turn over her birth certificate and social security card.
Man, this is a shitty situation on so many levels. It has to be tough for Rosie, who raised Chelsea, to be shunned in favor of Chelsea seeking out her birth mother. Also, Chelsea has some problems, clearly, since she was hanging out with a grown ass man who’s got a history of child abuse and drug charges, and is known to be on medication for mental health issues. While Deanna could have very well got her life together since she gave Chelsea up in 1997, something tells me this is just not a good situation.
I just hope this works out okay in the end, whatever that ends up meaning for this family.
Chelsea’s got problems for sure. Are we completely certain Rosie didn’t cause them?Rosie’s not a great person to be sure. Who knows if she’s a great parent.
And ya know, it may be (though I personally detest her) Rosie was really great to her kid, let’s presume for a moment, but was she there for the kid most of the time? When I was 17/18 I had no problem at all living with my parents as long as they left me alone.. which never happened..hah hah! Still.. most kids don’t run away.. and they either get married or go to the army go to college or whatever.. Don’t know where this kid is at. I feel a bit sorry for her since I suspect deep down she ain’t had a good childhood. But, I could be 100.00000 percent wrong and she’s just an inherent monster. But that’s a stretch too.
A child who grows up without immediate access to a strong, positive, male father figure , is way more likely to become a juvenile delinquent.
This is sadly proven time and time again in poor communities and unfortunately Black communities. Will the statistic reign true for children of Lesbian couples? I hope not, but only time will tell.
