Roșie O’Donnell’s Daughter Sentenced to Prison: What to Know….Read More

Chelsea O’Donnell, the daughter of comedian Rosie O’Donnell, has been sentenced by a judge to prison time, US Weekly first reported on Wednesday.

A Wisconsin court filed a notice of case status change last week after the 28-year-old was accused of violating the terms of her probation, according to court documents obtained by Newsweek. In a motion to terminate Chelsea’s participation in the Marinette County Treatment Drug Court Program filed last month, a court official said Rosie’s daughter was in violation due to sexual assault allegations.

The document states that Chelsea was placed on a hold through the Department of Corrections.

Why It Matters
Chelsea was sentenced earlier this year to six years of probation after several arrests for drug-related charges.

Rosie told US Weekly in a statement: “I have compassion for those struggling with addiction—Chelsea was born into addiction and it has been a painful journey for her and her children.”
