Summary
Rosie O'Donnell said daughter Chelsea asked her to visit in prison, and she recounted the meeting in an Instagram poem alongside a photo of them together.
The 4-hour visit ended early when a tornado touched down nearby, forcing an evacuation just as O'Donnell described Chelsea as healthy, calm and devastated to leave.
Chelsea, 28, was jailed in October 2025 after her probation was revoked following three 2024 arrests on felony charges including child neglect and methamphetamine possession.
O'Donnell framed the visit as part of their long-strained relationship, writing that love and forgiveness remain essential even after years of family turmoil.
