There’s all sorts of drama happening at the O’Donnell home.  From what we can piece together, it all started in 1997.  That was when Deanna Micoley put her 2-month-old daughter Kayla up for adoption.  According to Deanna, she signed the consent documents while high on drugs and under pressure of her then-husband.  She also alleges that the adoptive mother knew the condition she was in.  That adoptive mother was Rosie O’Donnell, and Kayla soon became Chelsea O’Donnell.  In the intervening years, Chelsea has been trying to find her biological parents.  Somehow she got in touch with Deanna’s father last November.  Since then, Deanna and Chelsea/Kayla have been in contact via text and Facebook messages.  Allegedly, O’Donnell tried to stop this communication and had some heated exchanges with Deanna.  One text from Rosie says, “Get any lawyers u want.  It was all legal.  Like it or not.  Now stop.”  When Deanna went public with the story, Rosie’s publicist said that Rosie “encouraged and supported Chelsea’s desire to communicate with her birth mother.”

Fast forward to last month when Rosie revealed that Chelsea had been missing for a week with her service dog.  On August 18th, Chelsea was found with 25-year-old Steven Sheerer, a man she allegedly met on Tinder and who has a record for heroin possession.  According to reports, Sheerer sent Chelsea a nude photo of himself, and since she was only 17 at the time, he was charged with third-degree distribution of obscenity to a minor and third-degree endangering the welfare of a child.  Six days after the police brought her home, Chelsea turned 18 and became a legal adult.  Rosie’s publicist made another statement: “Chelsea made a decision when she turned 18 that she wanted to go to her birth mother.  That was her choice.”  But it wasn’t quite so placid.  We hear that Rosie refused to give Chelsea her birth certificate or Social Security card and threatened to cut her off financially if she left.  And yet, off she went.  Deanna drove from Wisconsin to pick up Chelsea/Kayla and told reporters, “Leave my daughter out of Rosie’s stuff.”  To be continued.good kind.
