Rosie O’Donnell’s Shocking Move: Why She Left the U.S. for Good!
Rosie O’Donnell has just made one of the boldest moves of her life, and fans are still trying to wrap their heads around it! The iconic comedian, actress, and talk show legend recently dropped a bombshell on TikTok—she’s officially relocated to Ireland with her 12-year-old child, Clay. And according to her, there’s no looking back… at least, not until America changes.
In a heartfelt yet strikingly unapologetic video posted Tuesday, O’Donnell revealed that she packed her bags and left the U.S. on January 15. She’s currently in the process of obtaining Irish citizenship, thanks to her ancestral roots, and from the way she describes it, Ireland has already stolen her heart.
“It’s been pretty wonderful, I have to say,” she shared. “The people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming. And I’m very grateful.”
But while she’s basking in the warmth of her new home, there’s an undeniable sadness in her voice. O’Donnell admitted that she deeply misses her other children, her friends, and the life she left behind in America. Yet, she made it crystal clear that her decision was fueled by something far bigger than just a desire for change—it was a statement.
“And when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that’s when we will consider coming back,” she declared, drawing a firm line between her personal choice and the current state of the nation.
Known for her fearless activism, O’Donnell didn’t shy away from addressing her disappointment in the political climate. “It’s been heartbreaking to see what’s happening politically and hard for me personally as well. The personal is political, as we all know.”
But why is she revealing all of this now? According to O’Donnell, she wanted to get settled first before making the announcement public.
“I just felt like we needed to take care of ourselves and make some hard decisions and follow through,” she explained. “And now as we’re getting settled, I was ready to post this and to tell everybody what’s been going on.”
And here’s where it gets even more interesting—O’Donnell isn’t the only Hollywood star to pack up and leave. In recent months, celebrities like Eva Longoria, Ellen DeGeneres, and Richard Gere have also opted for a fresh start overseas. Is this the beginning of a full-blown celebrity exodus? Only time will tell.
For now, Rosie O’Donnell is embracing her Irish adventure while making a powerful statement. Will she ever return to the U.S.? That answer seems to depend on the future of the country she once called home.
