(DailyVantage.com) – Rosie O’Donnell’s eldest daughter, Chelsea Belle O’Donnell, has been arrested and charged with several serious offenses, including child neglect and drug possession. According to court documents obtained by Fox News, Chelsea, who is 27 years old, faces a range of felony charges, including possession of methamphetamine, narcotic drugs, drug paraphernalia, and resisting or obstructing an officer. Additionally, she has been charged with felony counts related to maintaining a drug trafficking place and child neglect.
Rosie’s representative addressed the situation, sharing that Chelsea has struggled with drug addiction for over a decade. “Sadly, this is not new for our family—Chelsea has struggled with drug addiction for a decade,” the representative said. The family expressed their hope that she will be able to recover from what they referred to as a “deadly disease.” Chelsea, who is a mother of four children, is currently scheduled to appear in court on November 7 to face these charges.
The arrest adds another layer of complexity to Chelsea’s public relationship with her mother, Rosie O’Donnell. Over the years, the two have had a tumultuous relationship, often marked by periods of estrangement. Their struggles were made public, especially in 2015 when Chelsea ran away from home at age 17, leading to a highly publicized search and subsequent fallout. While the two have experienced moments of reconciliation, this latest development highlights the ongoing challenges in Chelsea’s life.
Chelsea’s arrest not only places legal pressure on her but also affects her family. As the mother of four, the charges related to child neglect raise concerns about the well-being of her children, though the specifics of their situation have not been publicly disclosed. The family’s statement emphasized their support and hope for her recovery, underscoring the ongoing battle Chelsea faces with addiction. As her court date approaches, her family—and the public—wait to see how these legal issues will unfold.
