\u201cIt\u2019s been heartbreaking to see what\u2019s happening politically and hard for me personally as well,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
Why Rosie O\u2019Donnell moved from US<\/p>\n
Rosie O\u2019Donnell, best known for her hosting duties on The Rosie O\u2019Donnell Show and The View, has officially left the United States. The outspoken comedian, a longtime critic of Donald Trump, revealed that she moved to Ireland after his victory over Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Donnell, who has publicly clashed with Trump since 2006, confirmed that she left the U.S. on January 15 \u2014 just five days before his inauguration. She is now settling into life in Ireland and has started the process of applying for Irish citizenship, as her grandparents were originally from the island.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been pretty wonderful, I have to say,\u201d the 62-year-old shared in a TikTok video. \u201cAnd the people have been so loving, so kind, and so welcoming. And I\u2019m very grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, O\u2019Donnell teased her move, revealing she had bought a used car to \u201ctool around the countryside on the wrong side of the road.\u201d<\/p>\n
The TV personality made the move to Ireland with her 12-year-old daughter, Dakota, and has stated she will only return to the U.S. when there are \u201cequal rights\u201d for all citizens.<\/p>\n
Rosie shares Dakota, who goes by the nickname Clay, with her late ex-wife, Michelle Rounds. Her decision to leave came just months after Ellen DeGeneres also said goodbye to the U.S. Other celebrities have similarly voiced their desire to relocate.<\/p>\n
Rosie O\u2019Donnell\u2019s choice to leave the U.S. isn\u2019t all that surprising\u2014especially considering her long history of clashing with Donald Trump. The two have been at odds since 2006, when O\u2019Donnell criticized Trump on The View for being too lenient toward Miss USA winner Tara Conner, who had faced allegations of drug use and other misconduct.<\/p>\n
Trump fired back, calling O\u2019Donnell a \u201creal loser.\u201d Defending his decision, he stated, \u201cI am a believer in second chances. Tara is a good person. Tara has tried hard. Tara is going to be given a second chance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Their public clashes only escalated over the years. In 2014, O\u2019Donnell told People that it was \u201cthe most bullying I ever experienced in my life.\u201d She ramped up her criticism during Trump\u2019s presidency, even joking to Seth Meyers in 2017 that she spent \u201cabout 90% of my working hours tweeting hatred toward this administration.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
