Rosie O’Donnell on Thursday posted an older picture of herself with her daughter Chelsea, as she reflected on the past as Chelsea has been arrested three times in less than three months in connection with drug charges.
The 62-year-old comedian and actress posted a shot of herself with Chelsea, 27, and daughter Dakota, 11, captioned, ‘Before it began’ with the hashtag, #changes.
Rosie, who is mother to five adopted children – son Parker, 29, Chelsea, Blake, 24, Vivienne, 22, and Dakota – also had a sad look in a selfie she posted on Thursday.
O’Donnell alluded to her eldest daughter’s issues in a post on Tuesday in which she acknowledged Chelsea’s most recent arrest on November 18, following previous arrests on September 10 and October 11 in connection with allegations of drug-related offenses.
O’Donnell adopted Chelsea with her first wife, Kelli Carpenter, and the mother-daughter duo have been estranged on and off throughout much of Kelli’s teens and adulthood.
O’Donnell wrote on Instagram, ‘so yes this is true – after being bailed out by her birth mother – chelsea was arrested again.’

Said one user: ‘I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this and that Chelsea is having to go through the grips of addiction, I’m holding your family and prayer and thoughts of recovery for all involved. It’s heartbreaking … I pray she gets through it and finds peace on the other side.’
Another added, ‘Rosie you’re so kind and have given so much to us. It’s heartbreaking for me see you going through this sickness with Chelsea. We’re all praying for you, Chelsea and your family.’

Chelsea previously complained to DailyMail.com that her mother was more interested in advocating for freedom for the Menendez brothers than getting her out of jail.
Chelsea had been out on $4,000 bail (posted by her birth mother on November 13) at the time of her most recent arrest, Us Weekly reported Monday after reviewing court documents.
Authorities said in legal documents that Chelsea was arrested on November 18 in Niagara, Wisconsin, after a vehicle she was riding in had been pulled over by police over a loud exhaust system.
Police detected ‘pick marks’ synonymous with illegal drug abuse on Chelsea’s face, and requested her to provide identification, which she didn’t have on her, according to the legal docs.
Chelsea did submit to the officer her name and birthdate, the legal docs stated, after which the officer determined she was out on bond in connection with her prior two arrests.
Police then cleared the vehicle and implemented a K9 search, at which time it was determined there were narcotics in the vehicle, according to the legal docs. Naloxone, a medication to reverse opiate overdose was retrieved from the vehicle’s trunk, police said.
Police searching Chelsea found a ‘clear smoking device’ hidden in her bra during a search of her person, according to legal docs, with residue on the pipe later testing positive for traces of methamphetamine.
Officials said in court docs that Chelsea had been ‘argumentative’ with officers who sought to search her and wound up handcuffed, later ‘calming down and becoming cooperative,’ at which point the handcuffs were taken off.

Chelsea told Dailymail.com earlier this month that Rosie, 62, was taking a tough love approach to the legal situation with her.
‘When I called Rosie to ask her to bail me out, she told me flat out, “You belong in there,”‘ Chelsea said November 4. ‘She said, “I really can’t help you get out of there; I don’t want you to kill yourself. I don’t want to be responsible for you killing yourself.”‘
Chelsea told Dailymail.com from the jailhouse she was upset that the Emmy-winning entertainer appeared to be more invested in the freedom of convicted killers Erik and Lyle Menendez than her own.
‘My mother is more interested in getting the Menendez Brothers released from prison than getting me out,’ Chelsea said. ‘I have a drug problem. I need to go to rehab, but I never killed anyone like the Menendez brothers.’
