Rosie O'Donnell's Daughter Chelsea Faces Assault Accusation in Disturbing Incident

Rosie O'Donnell's daughter Chelsea has been accused of sexual assault after allegedly touching a man's genitals without consent, according to TMZ.

Allegation Details

The incident reportedly occurred while Chelsea was driving with the man in the backseat. She allegedly reached back and touched his inner thigh and genitals, which led to her driving erratically when he refused her advances.

Chelsea has denied the accusations during discussions with officials, as reported by TMZ. Queries have been directed to Rosie O'Donnell's representative and the Wisconsin Department of Corrections for comments.

Legal Background

Chelsea had her probation revoked in October 2025 due to these assault allegations and was sentenced to prison. Previously, she violated her probation terms, which included maintaining sobriety and avoiding contact with drug users or firearms.

The probation was a result of three arrests in 2024 related to drugs and domestic issues. During these incidents, authorities found drugs and paraphernalia at her residence.

Family Dynamics

Chelsea has had a strained relationship with Rosie O'Donnell, who adopted her in 1997. Despite the challenges, Rosie shared on Instagram a photo of Chelsea before her struggles with addiction began, asking for prayers for her daughter's future.
