00:03Chelsea O'Donnell, 28, daughter of Rosie O'Donnell, is headed to prison after a Wisconsin judge ruled she violated her probation.
00:11She had been in a court-mandated drug treatment program but allegedly failed to make progress and was linked to a sexual assault-related probation violation.
00:20The facts surrounding this request have been staffed with the Marinette County Treatment Drug Court team and have been deemed sufficient grounds to warrant termination from the Marinette County Treatment Drug Court program, a court filing stated.
00:33Chelsea O'Donnell has been in custody since September 9th and will be transferred to Wisconsin's Teichita Correctional Institution to serve her sentence.
00:41Rosie O'Donnell, her adoptive mother, has publicly expressed concern and sought support amid her daughter's legal troubles.
00:48My child Chelsea Bell, before addiction took over her life, I loved her, then I love her now as she faces a scary future.
00:58Prayers welcomed, Rosie wrote on Instagram shortly after the news broke.
01:02Rosie O'Donnell expressed compassion for Chelsea, noting her lifelong struggles with addiction and asking for prayers.
01:09Chelsea's legal issues date back years, including a 2025 six-year probation for drug-related arrests.
01:16Her failure to meet probation requirements and new allegations led to its revocation and her incarceration, bringing her previously private struggles into public attention.
01:27Officials have not disclosed Chelsea O'Donnell's expected prison term or potential additional charges, and her legal team has not commented on the decision or possible appeal.
01:36As Chelsea begins her prison sentence, attention will likely remain on how the O'Donnell family handles the next steps.
01:43For now, Rosie's message remains focused on support and prayer for her daughter and her grandchildren during what she described as a scary future.
