In an interview with Page Six published on July 12, Rosie O’Donnell shared that her prison visit with her daughter, Chelsea O’Donnell, in June of this year was the first time they’ve had a conversation lasting longer than 25 minutes in a decade. The comedian also admitted that it was the first time she had seen Chelsea show "empathetic emotion."
"The first time that I saw her in a consistent way was the four hours in the prison," O’Donnell said.
She also shared that her daughter cried after the visit had to be cut short due to a local tornado warning.
O’Donnell plans to further explore her complex relationship with her daughter in her next one-woman show. She also mentioned that Chelsea has seen some of the material she will be performing.
