Rosie O’Donnell’s adopted daughter Chelsea has been arrested twice in the past month according to court documents – and is facing charges of child neglect and drug possession
Rosie O’Donnell’s 27-year-old daughter Chelsea Belle has been arrested twice in the past month in Wisconsin, as reported by E! News. The New York Post notes that Chelsea is facing charges of child neglect and drug possession, after her infant son was found living in a house with meth pipes, dirty nappies, discarded rubbish and razor blades.
According to reports, police had gone to the house after Chelsea called them regarding a dispute she had with her boyfriend, Jacob Nelund.
“The inside of the home was disgusting [with] milk that stunk so bad it almost made me puke, dirty diapers, used female hygiene products, unclean underwear with faeces and blood stains and used razor blades on the floor,” one officer reported, according to documents obtained by InTouch. “It appeared Jacob and Chelsea were more concerned with their drug addiction than providing [the baby] with a safe and clean environment,” police noted in the report.
Chelsea and Rosie have had a rocky relationship over the years. Over the weekend, the 62-year-old comedian took to Instagram to respond to the news reports about her daughter’s arrest. “Chelsea is in the news today – this is a photo from a better time – here is the family comment,” she wrote below a photo of her daughter and a baby. “Sadly this is not new for our family – Chelsea has struggled with drug addiction for a decade – we [are] all hopeful she will find her way out of this deadly disease #[heartbroken] #love #alanon 10.19.24.” Many netizens took to the comments section to share their support for Rosie and well wishes for her daughter’s recovery.
