Rosie O’Donnell‘s estranged daughter Chelsea was sentenced after being arrested on multiple drug charges.
The 27-year-old was sentenced to just six years probation during a hearing Monday in Oconto County, Wisconsin and faces a possible jail sentence if that probation is violated.
Last month, Chelsea had pled guilty to charges of Possession of Methamphetamine, Bail Jumping-Felony, and Resisting or Obstructing an Officer.She had faced other charges but they were dismissed despite being read during the plea hearing in February.
Chelsea had also faced charges in two different charges in Marinette County but the cases were all combined and settled with a plea as she has already been sentenced to probation for those charges.
The daughter of Rosie must also compline with all the conditions that had been set forth in n her Marinette County cases.This came months after Rosie spoke out after her daughter’s latest arrest in connection with drug charges back in December.
In an Instagram post shared to her account on December 3, 2024, the 62-year-old comedian and actress acknowledged for the first time her daughter Chelsea O’Donnell’s arrest the previous month.
O’Donnell adopted Chelsea with her first wife Kelli Carpenter (who she separated from in 2007) and the mother–daughter duo have been estranged on and off throughout much of Kelli’s teens and adulthood.
Chelsea was arrested for the third time in less than three months in connection with drug charges.
She was most recently arrested on November 18, following previous arrests on September 10 and October 11 in connection with allegations of drug-related offenses.
‘So yes this is true — after being bailed out by her birth mother — chelsea was arrested again,’ O’Donnell wrote on Instagram.
The League Of Their Own star included the admission alongside a screenshot of an email requesting comment from a Fox News Digital writer. O’Donnell didn’t share if she had taken any recent steps to either bail out her daughter or to get enrolled in a drug abuse treatment program.
Chelsea previously complained to DailyMail.com that her mother was more interested in advocating for freedom for the Menendez brothers than getting her out of jail.
Shortly after posting her somber update, O’Donnell shared a closeup selfie of herself in which she beamed while wearing sunglasses.
